Shark Island - Law Of The Order mp3 album

Shark Island needs to be in everyone’s hard rock collection, the band had everything going for it . Epic Records did a great injustice in terms of recording production and AR team not being able to capitalize on what the band had already put in place .Shark Island became the house band at the world-famous Gazzari's on the Sunset Strip for about two years and sold out show with a large cult like fan base . In the tradition of bands such as Van Halen, Mötley Crüe and other Los Angeles bands. During these years, Shark Island became one of the most popular bands to emerge from the L.A. rock scene. American Heroes/Mondo Cane was an act that either opened for Sharks or had Sharks opening for them during the numerous performances. There were multiple occasions when both bands played in the same venues such as The Whiskey, The Icehouse, The Roxy or The Troubadour. It was at that time that Lanny Cordola, American Heroes/Mondo Cane's guitarist and songwriter, began noticing the unique and riveting stage persona of Sharks vocalist, Richard Czerny. Lanny seriously entertained the idea of Czerny being the frontman for American Heroes/Mondo Cane but both bands continued to perform separately never discussing the idea. Richard Black's (Czerny later changed his name to Black) signature stage moves and dancing were incredibly and majorly influential to Axl Rose. Black's unique and one-of-a-kind stage moves gave Axl the stage presence and persona to front Guns N' Roses. If and when Axl Rose is or has been asked about this clear and obvious "influence", Axl either avoids answering those questions altogether or immediately changes the subject further cementing this well known and documented "rumor". This band deserves to be heard by the masses and giving the chance that another record company would have done a better job of promoting the band true strengths and even going to live shows to actually see what made this band stand out , could have help the band catapult to greatness. Shark Island will always be one of my all time favorite bands they were unrated and not given the chance to shine .
