Editor's note

1997, the Los Angeles band with straightforward pop-rock

A mid-90s LA group whose songs like 'Sunset Beyond Black Clouds' still turn up in unexpected places.

If you want to get what they were about, 'Sunset Beyond Black Clouds' and '4 A.M. Conversation' give you the picture. Straightforward stuff that holds up.

Their music has that uncomplicated 90s pop-rock feel that just works, songs like 'Sunset Beyond Black Clouds' and 'I Will Always Find You' sound like they could've been on the radio yesterday. They weren't trying to reinvent anything, just write solid tunes. You can hear it in '4 A.M. Conversation' and 'On The Run,' which still pop up in various places years later.

They formed in Los Angeles in the mid-1990s and put out their debut 'Contenders' in 1997. After two more albums, 'The Drive' in 2000 and 'Anthems' in 2002, they called it quits in 2005. Some members like Corey Taylor went on to other projects, including fronting Slipknot.
