About the Artist
Originally formed in 1976 by Brian Clark, the first lineup of Survivor had David Hewitt on drums and Brian's brother Kevin Clark as lead vocalist. Later that same year, David and Kevin departed the band, Brian taking over the lead vocals as well as bass guitar, and Brian Martini came aboard as the outfit's drummer. This set Survivor's most memorable and popular line-up until the band's demise almost three years later- Brian Clark, bass and vocals; Brian Martini, drums; Pat O'Hara, lead and rhythm guitars; and Paul Restovich, lead and rhythm guitar, and backing vocal.

Based out of Shreveport, Louisiana, Survivor's goal was playing and making a living, such as it was, at regional clubs; playing just enough cover songs to "get by", the band continually spotlighted its original material, hoping to one day make it to a higher level, Alas, as with so many, it was not to be. Survivor's musical influences were fairly hardcore in those days when disco ruled America; Judas Priest, Thin Lizzy and Led Zeppelin were a few of the band's faves, and it showed in their writing. Melodically strong with a tight, driving rhythm section, Survivor was a tad weak vocally, but more than made up for it in their live shows. Dramatic and theatrical for a regional band, they made use of intro tapes, striking backdrops, similar costuming and the like. The band even played on a club circuit throughout the southwest U.S. in '78. Most of the audiences wanted to hear the Eagles covered, while Survivor busily churned out Cheap Trick, Blue Oyster Cult, as well as their own material. Finally in '79. the band "dis-banded", for good. Of course, to this day there is confusion over the band's name, and I start any discussion of it with the obligatory "not the 'Eye of the Tiger' Survivor." As far as I know, we had the name before them, and for what it's worth that's that.

There are still some people in the Ark-La-Tex region who remember Survivor's club shows with fondness, and even a few that have a dusty, old vinyl copy of this album that we made ourselves, and sold at our shows. Enjoy. - Brian Clark

4 out of 5 stars Very good obscure hard rocker that'll grow on you!!.......2003-10-20

I had never heard this band's album from 1979, but purchased it when it came out on the excellent Monster Records label this past year. It definitely has a Thin Lizzy/Judas Priest style and some well written songs. Highlights are the mystic "Deceive Me" and the hard rocking "Kristallnacht" with cool tempo changes. The guitar playing is excellent throughout. Overall, a very good
CD, not quite a 5 star but another worthwhile purchase
