Should've Been The 80's: Houston "Houston"


I'm starting a new feature. Bands that sound exactly like they would fit in the 80's genre, yet weren't recorded in the 80's. First up, a band sent in by Steve, this is a Swedish duo who's CD is selling used on Amazon right now for $99! Sounds like it just stepped out of the time machine. Definitely 80's AOR rock all the way.
