Stan Bush & Barrage - Stan Bush & Barrage (1987) [2011 Rock Candy Remastered]

In 1987 Stan signed to the Scotti Brothers label but this time under the handle of Stan Bush & Barrage, a ruse designed to toughen up his image and present a sharper, band identity to the record buying public.
Produced by veteran Richie Wise (Kiss) and utilising a number of key session players (dubbed Barrage) including members of Black Rose, Foreigner and John Parr and Rick Springfield’s band, the music was superbly executed hook laden Melodic Rock AOR sitting atop raunchy guitar work and big, beefy drums and bass lines.

This golden recording features world class tracks like “Love Don’t Lie”, “Heart vs Head”, “Temptation”, “Crank That Radio” and of course “The Touch”, the single that was included in the soundtrack to the hit movie ‘Transformers’, helping it to become a melodic staple recognised the world over.

“Stan Bush & Barrage” Rock Candy deluxe Collector’s Edition with a fully remastered sound shaped from 24 BIT digital technology marks the first time for the reissue label to make a second press due the high demand.
Not strange at all, because “Stan Bush & Barrage” is – simply put – a Melodic Rock / AOR masterpiece.
