Starship

Starship is an American rock band that operated from 1985 to 1989, reforming in 1992. In 1984, Paul Kantner left Jefferson Starship (San Francisco, California, USA). His former bandmates wanted to continue as Jefferson Starship, but Kantner, as the last founding member of Jefferson Airplane, took legal action over the "Jefferson" name. Kantner settled out of court and signed an agreement that neither party would use the names "Jefferson" or "Airplane" unless all members of Jefferson Airplane, Inc.

Pride & Glory

Pride & Glory was a side project for former Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Zakk Wylde. This was Zakk's first self-fronted project, after which he released the largely acoustic solo-album Book of Shadows in 1996. After that he formed Black Label Society in 1998, which remains his current band. Coming together in 1991, during the No More Tours supposed-retirement tour for Ozzy's No More Tears, the band was originally named Lynyrd Skynhead and included the former White Lion rhythm section of bassist James LoMenzo and drummer Greg D'Angelo alongside Wylde.

Moritz

A classic 80's British AOR act that for reasons unknown didn't make the grade which was a real crime. The release of City Streets which has gone down a storm. So inspired by the resurge in interest, 2010 sees the release of a new album "Undivided" that has definitely been worth waiting for. Have a look at the promo video. Shot in Londons East End, this rare promo footage of Moritz features the lead track from their debut EP Can't stop loving You. Filmed in 1987, this video helped the EP become a total sell out, and vinyl copies now exchange hands on the internet for over £50.
