THUNDER: Backstreet symphony 7″ 1990 UK + No Way Out of the wilderness (unreleased). Small writing on side A. .

Description

Backstreet Symphony from Thunders first album (Backstreet Symphony – 1990)

Thunder is an extremely underrated Rockband from the UK. It was founded in 1989. Great music. In my opinion they rank among other great bands like AC/DC or Whitesnake. These guys must have just had bad timing. They were the real deal. I find it hard to accept that they weren’t bigger. But it might be because they really rocked instead of putting out some kind of crappy Disneyfied MTV hair rock.

Line-up:
Danny Bowes – Vocals
Luke Morley – Guitars
Gary James – Drums, Percussion
Ben Matthews – Guitars, Piano, Organ
Mark snake’ Luckhurst – Bass
Andy Taylor – Twelve String Guitar (on Until My Dying Day)
The Croquettes & The Gherkin Brothers – Backing Vocals

 This comes of the Backstreet Symphony LP.

After Terraplane failed, most of that band regrouped as Thunder. The result was somewhere between Whitesnake and Def Leppard. “What we’ve done is what we could never do with Terraplane,” said guitarist Luke Morley. Produced (brilliantly, as it happened) by Duran Duran’s Andy Taylor, BST is packed full of Brit rock anthems including Dirty Love, the title track and the epic ballad Love Walked In.

We encourage you to buy this.

I was running late for a night downtown
Me and the boys gonna tie one down
So I took a short cut through an alleyway
And this sound just took my breath away
There she stood with just one guitar
Looking much too good to be in this bar
I tried to leave but my feet were lead
And the song she played just filled my head
‘Cos when she sang out that melody, I heard a sound like a backstreet symphony
My senses sung my head was spun, as I walked through the door
I gotta hear some more
So I watched the show in a state of trance
Staying ’til the end waiting for a chance
To meet with her and make her mine
And keep her there ’til the end of time
When she unfolded that melody, I heard a sound like a backstreet symphony
My destiny had guided me through the bar room door
I got to hear some more, I wanna hear some more
(Solo)
‘Cos when she sang out that melody, I heard a sound like a backstreet symphony
My destiny had guided me through the bar room door, through the door
I gotta hear some more, I got to got to got to got to hear some more
Backstreet love…
