Bite The Bullet - Bite The Bullet (1989) [2019 Rock Candy Remastered]

Despite being signed to the major label Jet Records (home to artists such as Ozzy Osbourne and Gary Moore), BITE THE BULLET‘s debut album, ‘‘Bite The Bullet”, failed to achieve commercial success due to a lack of promotion. Considered by many to be one of the most “elegant” American AOR albums of 1989, it eventually became a highly sought-after collector’s item as it was never reissued until Rock Candy Records gave it the full “Remastered & Reloaded” treatment, restoring it with pristine sound quality.

Founded by songwriter, vocalist and guitarist Mick Benton in the mid-Eighties after being part of hard rockers Mother’s Ruin, musically his aim with Bite The Bullet was completely different: craft smooth AOR tunes plenty of accessible melodies and some rocking approach to appeal wide audiences.

For years impossible to find, “Bite The Bullet” belongs to your collection if you love that ’80s magic.
