SIBLING RIVALRY – Sweet Paradise 86-89 [Demon Doll Records remaster] + Exclusive bonus

Demon Doll Records is at it again having found another glam metal band that never got its debut album released. This time, it’s Hollywood glam metal / hard rockers rockers SIBLING RIVALRY that are getting their debut album entitled ”Sweet Paradise” released after more than 30 years.

If fact, these are demos, but very well recorded for shopping labels – it’s a mystery why SIBLING RIVALRY never got signed by a major company as listening to these songs recorded 1986, 1987 and 1989 these guys were very, very good.
More classic hard rocking the the hair metal acts at the time, SIBLING RIVALRY adds to their early Ratt feeling a touch of groove akin the first Aerosmith, and contemporary Tesla. An explosive, really good combination.
As requested, here’s the now out of print “Sweet Paradise 86-89 [Demon Doll Records remaster]”. In exclusive, as  extra, we added a very rare song SIBLING RIVALRY recorded during the 1987 sessions, a rocking tune this Demon Doll Records misses.

Hailing from Denver, Colorado, Sibling Rivalry left the Rocky Mountains for Los Angeles in early 1986 and rapidly established an impressive following in Hollywood. The “Sibs” as they were affectionately known to friends and fans, quickly became one of California biggest club draws and were voted one of L.A.’s top local bands by Music Connection magazine.

The Sibs also attracted the attention of their peers, Carmine Appice (Vanilla Fudge, Ozzy, King Kobra) offered help to the band, and described Sibling Rivalry as having “Good looks, good songs, and a good stage presence… ”What else do you need?”
By February 1987, The Sibs had completed a 24 track three-song demo-tape produced by Kenny Kerner (responsible for Kiss‘ first two albums) and secured a development deal with Warner Brothers Records, which ultimately did not pan out.

Aiming their songwriting strategy at knocking their fans off their butts and making them want to party… it seems as though the boys hit the mark with their goals on the anthem “Rock On The Radio”, the infectious “Sweet Paradise” as well as the hit ballad “You’re All I Need”.

This CD has been digitally remastered by Lance V. and comes packaged in an 8 page booklet with a full set of lyrics.
A very good ’80s band you need to hear.
