Heist : High Heeled Heaven

 

WRAP THOSE

LIPS AROUND

Another RARE 80's 

Hard Rock band

This CD is

OUT OF PRINT

HEIST 

and their only album

 “High Heel Heaven”

 Perhaps due of being 

released by a label like

 I.R.S.

 (International Record Syndicate) 

specialized in pop acts, 

“High Heel Heaven”,

 originally appeared in 1989, 

got buried by the load 

of excellent other 

Melodic Hard Rock

 releases that year.

But take for sure

 that Heist were good, 

very good at their game. 

Heist 

added to the

 Melodic Hard Rock style

 of the era

 a touch of edge

 via blazing guitars 

and top-notch

 musicianship.

While

 Paul Holdgate’s vocals

 are an acquired taste, 

he adds a

 powerful punch

 to the band’s already 

meaty delivery, 

but the songs are

 very 

melodic and hooky.

Numbers like

 ‘Laws of Love’ 

and

 ”She Doesn’t Matter” 

are pretty awesome

Ronnie Montrose

 Also Plays on

 the tracks

 She Needs Love 

and 

Tighter

 melodic hard rockers  

all very catchy, 

hook-laden tracks 

with killer riffs, 

‘Deep In the Night’ 

is a lovely ballad

 with some Dokken Hooks on it, 

then

 ‘Kiss Me’ 

is great traditional 

hard rocker 

with that 

aforementioned edge.

For some 

party glam metal check

 ‘Loose Lipps’ 

or 

title track 

‘High Heel Heaven’,

 and 

‘Say You’re Sorry’ 

delivers some

 midtempo 

AOR waves

ENJOY !!
