Tower City

It's a post NEW MONEKEES melodic rock band.
A trio from Cleveland was the secret among all A&R managers of the US major labels - both MCA and Atlantic agreed to release this album, until grunge upset the market. This album combines the best aspects of Bon Jovi, Def Leppard and Giant into a sound all their own. Listening to "A Little Bit of Fire" will remind you that there was life before grunge...
