1994: - 1994: (1978) [2005 Rock Candy Remastered]

Fronted by the voluptuous Karen Lawrence, 1994: was one of the greatest North American hard rock bands that time and tide has indeed forgotten. Signed, in a blaze of publicity, to the mighty A&M label, produced by 70s studio wizard Jack ‘Aerosmith’ Douglas and hailed as the next big thing, the band never quite made the commercial impact all had hoped for. Released in 1978, Geoff Barton, writing for Sounds magazine, (now editor of Classic Rock), made no secret of his love for 1994:’s self-titled debut album, acclaiming it as one of the year's best releases – a deadly yet cool combination of Heart and Aerosmith. Look out too, for a rare special guest appearance by guitarist Brad Whitford - one of only a small handful of extraneous appearances outside the Aerosmith mother ship.
