HUSH featured Robert Berry, who later released some great albums with ALLIANCE,3 and a couple of solo-albums. This HUSH-album was his first musical effort. It was released in 1979 on an obscure recordlabel that went bankrupt and caused a split of the band that worked on this album between 1975-1980. They had some success in Japan and were promised to become popular in The States, something that never happened.
Their re-isued CD contains 10 tracks that is a mix of A.O.R., hard 70’s Poprock and Pomprock. Especially the midtempo aor/ pomp-classified tracks “Alright” and “It’s all too much” does sound pretty good and quite a bit like ROADMASTER at times. Tracks like “Saturday night”,”Money” and “You” are pure hard late 70’s/early 80’s uptempo poprockers like a mix of RICK SPRINGFIELD’s early 80’s material and RUSS BALLARD’s albums ‘Barnet dogs’ and ‘Into the fire’. Combine these elements and you will know how this album sounds. A pretty good album and if you like some of the mentioned acts in this review, you must get yourself a copy of this CD.
