Rage - Out of Control

Signed to the French based Carerre label, home of Saxon, Rose Tattoo and Dokken, Liverpool's Rage quickly established themselves as an influential part of the emerging NWOBHM scene. This debut album, issued in 1981, was produced by man of the moment Pete Hinton (Saxon, Demon) giving the material a contemporary, rough-hewn, sheen. Musically, the songs focussed on tight riffs and memorable hooks, giving vocalist Dave Lloyd a platform to ably demonstrate his range and style.
