DESCRIPTION: The nearly extinct genre of pop-metal at its homegrown best. Knoxville (and other areas of TN) natives, Hard Knox were a local favorite. As an adolescent of the 80's I owned a copy of the vinyl only, Mark Of The Rocker (1985), back in the day. After years of trying to forget most of what I listened to in those days I ran across a copy of Combat Alley, which is Mark Of The Rocker + four demos recorded around 1987. Anyway, I felt the need to post these for nostalgic purposes. And honestly it's kind of fun to listen to some of these songs again (on the right day). Enjoy!
