Balance - In For The Count (1982) [2006 Rock Candy Remastered]

An essential band in any Melodic Rock / AOR collection are without a doubt Americans BALANCE.

After the moderated success of their self titled debut, Balance hardened their sound for the second effort according to the trend of the scene with bands like Journey raising as future superstars.
Balance’s core members Peppy Castro (lead and backing vocals), Bob Kulick (guitars) and Doug Katsaros (keyboards, backing vocals) added to the lineup future Rainbow drummer Chuck Burgi and ex Speedway Boulevard bassist Dennis Feldman as stable band members, resulting in a more powerful unit.
Seeing this line up now, almost thirty five years later, it’s a dream-team of AOR talent that made an album every bit as good as expected.

Balance’s “In For The Count” is a mandatory record for any self-respecting AOR fan.
