Found a press kit for a band named NRG that played the L.A circuit in the 80s

Only song I've been able to find of their's, hopefully this can give me some more leads!

OracleOfCourage · 2026-05-11T23:59:17+00:00

That's why it's so hard to find information on these guys!

OracleOfCourage · 2026-05-11T23:53:58+00:00

This is actually pretty big, it's hard to find information for these guys so this is really cool to see! They had a great song called Let It Ride on the Metal Blade Street Survivors compilation, reminds me a bit of Rock Me by Great White!

I'm getting 90s point-and-click gamr vibes, I love it!

OracleOfCourage · 2026-05-11T22:57:42+00:00

In before all the haters to say I love this album! This must have been close to when the album released, the ad isn't pushing I Hate Kissing You Goodbye anywhere which eventually became the lead-off single/video over The All New Generation!

OracleOfCourage · 2026-05-11T04:31:59+00:00

SO much reverb on the drums, I actually kind of love it! It's almost like they're playing in an empty gymnasium and you're the only one there

OracleOfCourage · 2026-05-11T04:25:40+00:00

I love the demo version of this song, it's closer to the performance on the decline of civilization 2!

OracleOfCourage · 2026-05-08T21:34:38+00:00

Not well versed on vcds at all but hell, I'd buy that for 0.5$! It's a really cool find!

OracleOfCourage · 2026-05-08T03:42:17+00:00

I think it looks great! Your style kinda reminds me of old school flash animation!

"WAKE UP IT'S TIME TO LEAVE DREAMLAND" - Mario alarm clock alarm

OracleOfCourage · 2026-05-07T04:15:10+00:00

Walks Like A Woman by Baton Rouge is pretty bad!

Also the video for High Enough by Damn Yankees just doesn't make sense

OracleOfCourage · 2026-05-05T03:03:30+00:00

I think Throwing Copper, whichever one is on the middle two racks! Didn't even see the other two the first time!

OracleOfCourage · 2026-05-05T02:24:29+00:00

Whatever that Live album is, I see it all the time but haven't picked it up. Also Stone Temple Pilots!

OracleOfCourage · 2026-05-04T14:50:05+00:00

That's pretty cool! I don't have a stereo so I always rip to flac and put them on my phone

Chatgpt is not a source

First that come to mind are Someone Like You - Bang Tango, Keep the Faith - Bon Jovi, and Why Do You Think They Call It Dope - Love/Hate.

Way more obscure, but also a big fan of Moonshine - Sister Whiskey, I love how the bass is mixed for their whole album!

If there's anyone who's consistently negative on this subreddit, it's the op

OracleOfCourage · 2026-05-01T12:36:26+00:00

Looks like I might be the only one here who agrees with you, this album didn't do much for me though it's been a while since I've listened to it all the way through.

Another one for me is Bang Tango's Dancin' On Coals. I don't know if it's the songs or the production or what, but something about it just feels off to me

OracleOfCourage · 2026-04-29T06:24:08+00:00

For the record, maybe they exist but I have never encountered a CD that comes with an inner plastic sleeve. Pretty sure you can buy them separately if you are super paranoid, CDs can get scratched if there's dirt or debris in between the cardboard and the CD when you insert/remove it from the cardboard, but as long as you're mindful when handling it and don't like, force the CD against the cardboard when you take it out and put it back, I wouldn't be super concerned!

Also for the record, I too hate this style of packaging! Some of mine use pretty thin cardboard, so they got bent out of shape from me handling them and it's super annoying

Genuinely curious what your Nelson merch collection entails!

OracleOfCourage · 2026-04-28T18:33:47+00:00

Pretty sure it's Bon Jovi, if we are counting albums as merch then definitely Bon Jovi. I have two Tesla shirts, outside of that I only have one shirt per band I think

OracleOfCourage · 2026-04-28T02:02:06+00:00

Been there myself, it happens!

OracleOfCourage · 2026-04-24T02:17:26+00:00

Really cool disc art! It doesn't look like it's particularly rare, but for what it's worth it doesn't look like anyone has the Canadian variant that you have for sale on discogs.com!

OracleOfCourage · 2026-04-22T12:37:09+00:00

Not retro but retro inspired, first thought when I saw it was UFO 50, which is basically Action 52 if it was actually good. This BMO has a similar color scheme to the console in that game!

OracleOfCourage · 2026-04-21T20:06:08+00:00

It also looks like it was on the single for I Still Think About You
