After TNT recorded their single ‘Back on the Road / Rockin’ the Night’ vocalist Gary Owen was brought in as a replacement for Mark Smith. T.N.T set about writing a whole new batch of songs, they were heavier but still had a pop sensibility about them.
As Curly says “I had grown up through the glam rock era, and like Gary Stevenson, was a huge SWEET fan, so that side of things was a big influence on both of us, plus, as a band we all had different musical influences, DEEP PURPLE. ALICE COOPER, THE BEATLES,BLACK SABBATH to name a few. And we all got off on the new stuff coming out as well, IRON MAIDEN, RAVEN,DEF LEPPARD, METALLICA and European stuff like the SCORPIONS and ACCEPT who had just broken internationally.
