Youngblood "No Retreat" NOW SHIPPING!

  Description 

For fans of: Slaughter, Steelheart, Salty Dog, Skid Row, and Extreme.
 
After having their ears pleasured by Dont Play With My Head, Sony/Epic Records wasted no time in drawing up contracts for the boys in Youngblood to begin writing material for a debut album. The band worked tirelessly for nine months to generate forty-five tracks that were mixed and mastered by Diehl Productions. The label approved sixteen of them to be released on the bands first album with the others held in reserve for a future release.
 
Originally recorded in 1989, those sixteen songs are finally seeing the light of day in 2012. No Retreat is a collection of hard rocking tunes with all the ingredients fans of the genre demand. The blistering guitars, the red-hot hooks, the fist-pumping choruses, 80s attitudeYoungblood sports it in spades and back during melodic metals prime could have given Slaughter, Steelheart, or Firehouse a serious run for their money. But for Youngblood, the lost chances of yesterday are being resurrected in the present. No Retreat was well worth the wait.

Bobby Sisk - Lead Vocals
