The best-kept secret of Middle American Hair Bands has finally been released for your ear pleasure. Kept in a vault waiting a release date for over twenty years YOUNGBLOOD is definitely going to turn back the clock on your ears. I only wish it could return the range of hearing I had back in 1989. While I could not locate a website, Facebook page, or even a myspace account for this band plenty of enthusiasts are patiently awaiting the release of this album in October 2012.

On the heals of the MTV announcement, that again, the Headbanger's Ball will be off the air, we have an album this is just wanting a video complete with scantly clad women dancing as hood ornaments, hanging off poles and providing plenty of eye candy for your listening pleasure.

With 19 tracks, including the 3 European Bonus Tracks, there is enough variety to find your favourite 80's sound. From Rock Anthems like "Pump It Up" to a spiritual experience like "Sock It To Me" on over to a Rock / Pop "Heat of the Passion". With in the whole 80s Hair Metal genre we have a collection of ballads starting with "Save Your Lies", "Find a Way", "Coming Home", "My One and Only", "I Love You" and "Fly" complete with a variety of keyboards and acoustic instrument sounds used.

I miss my Headbanger's Ball, and YOUNGBLOOD will be missing it with me for sure.
