No Easy Way Out

So it's late and I'm stumbling around YouTube, looking for some good glam. What do I find? Roxx Gang.

Formed in the mid-80s, Roxx Gang just oozed sleaze appeal - and their songs sounded good, too.

Originally released in 1988, the band's debut Things You've Never Done Before features some really cool songs. I don't own this album, but I'm pleasantly surprised to find it easily available on Amazon. This means it will be mine soon enough!

Roxx Gang released several albums before breaking-up in the early 1990s. It's a shame the band was so overlooked...maybe if they'd hit the scene a little sooner, they'd still be together today.

By the way, Roxx Gang founder Kevin Steele is still active in the music scene. These days, he takes care of lead vocal duties in Mojo Gurus. You can visit them at Mojo Gurus on Myspace.

Back to Roxx Gang. Here's the video for "No Easy Way Out." It's a cross between Warrant and INXS. Somehow, it works.

So, do you think Roxx Gang are vastly underrated or achieved a level of success due their musical ability?
