Shark Island - Paris Calling (1989)

In 1989 there was so much music that there was no way to listen to it all. A virtual hard rock music explosion. The music scene was so flooded that it became the beginning of the end of the Hard Rock Zenith era. There was a lot of shitty bands and a ton of shitty songs -- but in there -- buried were some well crafted and overlooked tunes. Shark Island was an artist featured on the Bill And Ted's Excellent Adventure Soundtrack. Their song "Father Time", to me stood out. The vocals were deeper and gritty, like a mix between Jim Morrison and Billy Idol. The music was catchy, melodic and full of intricate hooks that made it easy to listen. Back in the day we went and saw locals bands nearly every weekend. The bands we wanted to see normally went at 10 or 11 pm. So as we were ratting our hair and gettin our pre-drunk on, Headbanger's Ball was the background music. Occasionally, as you were getting your next beer, you would pass by the TV and hear a song and catch the video. I remember seeing this one during one of those treks.

Give It A Listen!
