[Heeplist] [NHC] New Helix CD

[Dave Crookham]

They actually got some air play and video play in the 80's with "Rock You", 
"Deep Cuts The Knife", "Heavy Metal Love" and a few others. They sound like 
a kinda heavier version of Triumph and Def Leppard mixed in with Krokus. 
Basically melodic hard rock. The closest sound I can think of is Axe if you 
are familiar with them.

I bought this CD just to support them since I liked their 80's material so 
much, but I got way more than I expected.

Dave

p.s. The new H.E.A.T. CD Tearing Down The Walls is also very good for those 
of you that like melodic hard rock.

Not familiar with Helix, anything to compare them to? Anything from other 
Canadian bands?
