History
Heavens Edge
formed in 1987
in Philadelphia
and was founded by
guitarist
Reggie Wu
and singer
Mark Evans.
Heavens Edge
released two albums:
Heavens Edge
(1990)
for Columbia Records,
that reached number 141
on
The Billboard 200,
and
Some Other Place Some Other Time
(1998)
on MTM.
Heavens Edge
was produced by
Neil Kernon.
The band released a
music video
for their most
popular single,
"Skin to Skin".
One night
while performing
at the Empire Rock Club
in Philadelphia,
bassist
George "G.G." Guidotti
was shot
in the abdomen
by a disgruntled
bar patron,
angry about being
turned away by
the club bouncer.
After being dropped
and successfully
suing Columbia,
Heavens Edge
signed with
Capitol
and started recording
their second album,
also with producer
Neil Kernon.
The album was
originally scheduled
to be released in 1992
but Capitol opted
not to release it.
The album was not finished
until 1998
when a couple of
new songs
were written
and recorded.
Parry was replaced
first by
Jimmy Marchiano
and later briefly by
Toshi Iseda
on guitar.
After the band split,
some of the
band members
formed the band
American Pie
with a new singer.
American Pie
recorded three demos
and played live
but never released
an official album.
Heavens Edge
signed a new record deal
with
MTM Records
in 1998
and were asked to
record a new album.
Their second album,
Some Other Place, Some Other Time,
included both the
second album sessions
with Neil Kernon
and the new
1998 songs,
and was released by
MTM Music
in Europe,
Pony Canyon
in Japan,
and
Perris Records
in the United States.
The US version
had a different cover
and six
additional demo tracks
as bonus.
A year after the album's release,
Heavens Edge
was asked to record
a song for the
Mötley Crüe
Kickstart My Heart Tribute Album.
The band recorded
a cover of
"Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)".
In October 2013,
a reunited
Heavens Edge
played the
Firefest festival in
Nottingham, England,
a sold-out show in
Philadelphia
at World Cafe,
as well as the
M3 Festival in
Maryland
and
MelodicRock Fest
in Chicago in 2014.
Guidotti died
from lung cancer on
August 18, 2019.
The band announced
Jaron Gulino
as their new bassist
on
January 5, 2020.
In July 2021,
guitarist
Reggie Wu
said the band was
"just in talks"
about a new album,
and that he and
lead singer
Mark Evans
were writing
new songs.
On March 1, 2023,
it was announced that
Heavens Edge
would be releasing
an album on
Frontiers Music
titled
Get It Right
that was released
May 12
of that year.
