Rock Bands that didn't quite make it Big, but were Freak'n Great
Heres a Great Aussie band, The Angels (South Australia), which began at approximately the same time as AC/DC (New South Wales). Have a look and enjoy. Turn It Up!!

Their CD "Dark Secrets" kicks Ass
Lets see some other bands that didn't quite hit the bigtime, but were too good.

My half brother was in a couple Detroit bands in the 80's and 90's. Each band made a couple albums and did some tours. With Seduce they even opened for Motorhead in Germany for several dates.

I love the Angels (Probably more than ACDC)
Seen them many times live in the 80s (Very Underrated) They were called Angel City in USA

You couldn't walk down the streets of Boston in the early 80's without seeing a band that should 'a could 'a made it.

I recently discovered "Signal" and some of their albums are quite rare. Unfortunatly. While people my age are discovering the latest in Taylor Swift or Lady GaGa (Lady NoNo I think) I'm dusting off old rock bands.
