Santa Cruz - Screaming For Adrenaline + Bonus Tracks [With Booklet] (Uk)

Santa Cruz were the next hard rock act to gain recognition alongside other sleaze heavyweights like Hardcore Superstar and Crashdiet / EXTENSIVE BOOKLET - 5 BONUS TRACKS - This very young band was formed by Kuosmanen and guitarist Johnny Parkkonen in 2007 when they were both only 15 years old. Shortly after forming the band, they added bassist Middy Toivonen and drummer Taz Fagerström to the mix. They are inspired partially by bands like Skid Row and Guns 'n' Roses, and their sound and persona is often compared by others in the music industry to 80's glam rock/hair bands. Hard work and perseverance can pay off if you stick with what you set out to achieve. In 2011 the boys in Santa Cruz were hosting a club night twice a month at a club in Helsinki, Finland. They'd created quite a buzz amongst their little music scene after releasing a six song EP titled Anthems for the Young 'n' Restless. Because of the buzz they were creating an A&R representative from Finnish Spinefarm Records came to one of Santa Cruz's shows and he was impressed enough to sign a record deal with them in 2012, when they were all only between the ages of 18 to 20 years old. Shortly after the signing Santa Cruz went to work to release their first studio album titled Screaming for Adrenaline, which came out in April 2013.
