Description

V.A.M.P. (Visual Arts Metal Project) was founded in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1986 and they started out by rehearsing a good set of cover songs including songs from Whitesnake, Bad Company, Nazareth and Foghat as well as trying to pen the first originals, like Ready To Rock and Vampire. They made their live debut opening for Dizzy Bitch at The Barbwire Clun and they immediately started to gain fans and local praise. After intense gigs they wrote an album’s worth of songs. In 1988, the band gained interest from Atlantic Records, but they already had a melodic hard rock band into their roster called VAMP. So A&R and managers told V.A.M.P. if they wanted to have a better chance of signing a deal, they should change their name. The band complied and changed their name to Harlot, but it was too late and Atlantic was no longer interested. V.A.M.P. was much more LA glammy melodic hard rock than Harlot, with some of Cinderella, Britny Fox, early Poison, etc to their sound. All the material the band recorded 1988-90 is comprised here, surprisingly very good in sound quality for an unsigned band.
