TKO (Official Thread)

[LOU/REALM]

TKO on Wikipedia

TKO Formed in Seattle in the late 70s, around the talents of the gritty vocal style of singer Brad Sinsel. TKO delivered a good punch to the glam metal scene of the 80s.
Yet ,their 1st album recorded in 79"Let it roll" sounded more like THE WHO....Sinsel sounding very much like Roger Daltrey.
To be fair when TKO returned with their 2nd album.....a gap of 5 years
"In your face", it was a different band,different sound . They had reinvented themselves and delivered a mighty fine metal album.

I think with TKO ....A case of good band, wrong place wrong time? This track is taken from the 1st album "Let it roll,"singer Brad Sinsel showing off his Daltrey influences.Its a good solid 70s rock track and the musicianship is impressive. I used to own this album...200 points deducted for letting it go Makes me wonder if the album was released say 1974 instead of 1979,how it would have done



Singer Sinsel never got the praise he deserved....a few years after the demise of TKO he emerged in another quality short lived rock band
