This final album from Tobruk sees the band pulling out all the stops to make this a big record, and boy do they succeed. From the opening strains of Rock ‘N’ Roll Casualty right through to the last few seconds of Cry Out In The Night, this album is pure gold. A whirlwind of hard rock, with the tempo never dropping, this album will get you on your feet in seconds, only to return when you’ve used all your energy at the end.

For fans of: late 80’s Twisted Sister, late 80’s KISS, Shy, Helix


Tobruk was an English rock band, formed in 1981 during the NWOBHM movement, their sound was more melodic and polished After signing to EMI (Parlophone) in 1984 Tobruk went on a club tour before playing some dates with Diamond Head. They also toured the UK supporting UFO.
They then ventured to Philadelphia to start recording their debut album, also titled ‘Wild On The Run”” [(Parlophone / EMI) 1985]. Lance Quinn from Lita Ford and Bon Jovi-fame co-produced the album with the band. The album was released in May 1985 and tours followed supporting UFO, Tokyo Blade and Manowar.
A second album was released through FM Revolver, called ‘Pleasure + Pain’.
Then singer Tony Martin, joined but nothing came of it and the band split for good. Martin went on to join Black Sabbath. Tobruk guitarist Nigel Evans spent some time touring with Shy.
Tobruk vocalist Snake (Stuart Neale) also had a stint in an early incarnation of The Wildhearts but never recorded officially with them, although some demos were produced. Mike Brown played bass in a short-lived band with Alan Kelly (drummer, ex-Shy) called Why The Rabbit shortly after Tobruk broke up. Keyboard player Jem Davies and drummer Eddie Fincher started the band Midnight Blue with one-time Yngwie Malmsteen and Rainbow (band) singer Dougie White and recorded ‘Take The Money And Run’ circa 1994. Davis also toured with UFO and had stints in Praying Mantis and FM.

Forgotten Gem
A word of warning first: I’m a member of the “”generation x”” that grew up in the 80 and became addicted to the 80 kind of hard rock (ala Bon Jovi, Whitesnake, Van Halen, Boston. However, back in the golden 80 I bought two vinyls at the same day, both by totally unknown bands back then: “The Final Countdown” by Europe and the other was “Wild On The Run” by Tobruk. I’ve always been willing to hear something new so the choice was easy. When I got home & gave the albums a spin I knew that was the best deal I had ever done – and I haven’t done a deal like that ever since. I knew both the bands would make it big – and I was only half way wrong: 6 months later Europe had broken big time but nobody had heard of Tobruk. Why, because the album was obviously better than the Europe album: the band was tight, the songs were catchy & had plenty of edge – and their singer had one of the best voices I’ve ever heard. That was my introduction to Tobruk.
Pleasure & Pain is their second album. It still deserves 5 stars.

Great album, not so popular unfortunately.

Wow, strong album. Big chorus in the songs, big keyboards, powerful guitars, melody. What else do we want?
