Eonian seems to frequently found a hidden gem especially in the Chicago area where the label was based, and this time, PISTOL DAWN popped out of nowhere and gave an enjoyable entertainment to me. Think of POISON with a hint of L.A.GUNS and you'll get the idea of how they sound. Produced by Chip Z'Nuff, the sound output is suprisingly good when it supposed to be only a vaulted demos.

Aside from many great songs, PISTOL DAWN has a strong line-up with Freddy Brecht as the stand-out personnel. His singing style is awesome and the rest of the band provided a tight rhythm and harmonies as well. The first three tracks can be explained in one simple word : stunning! The title track has great chorus and superb solos, 'Dreams Come True' is ultra-melodic as in POISON's hits, and 'Be My Girl' is a big commercial tune.

'Hard Way', again sound like POISON and this is definitely the best song they had here. Two mandatory ballads here are pretty good too, 'Gone Away' and 'Wish Upon A Star', but I favor the latter one more. 'Stocks and Blonds' pumped out an incinerating riff, struggling a bit with the verse but the chorus is pure heaven. 'Talk of The Town' is the sleaziest track, unique and kinda different from the rest, another great song here.

All in all, a very fun disc, easy listening, non-complex, and straight forward party vibe album. Recommended for fans of melodic glam, 85% and kudos for another great Eonian discovery.
