Bad Sister - Out Of The Business (CD)

"Out Of The Business" is the second CD by the Hamburg melodic hard rock band BAD SISTER. The album from 1991 is one of the classics of the AOR genre, was not available on CD for years and was sought after by fans as a rarity. After the success of the current album "Where Will You Go" (2022), Pride & Joy Music is now releasing the band's classic - remastered and with a bonus track. 32 years after its release, "Out Of The Business" by BAD SISTER is available again on CD.

At the end of the 1980s the Hamburg band attracted attention with their debut album "Heartbreaker" (1989) - finest classic rock, AOR and melodic rock which they play in the style of Heart, Journey, Foreigner, Giant, Survivor and others. In the 1990s the band gave already rise to much comment when they supported Deep Purple singer Ian Gillan and Detroit rock shouter Mitch Ryder. Their first album "Heartbreaker" is considered to be one of the classics in the international AOR scene. The second album "Out Of The Business“ was released in 1991 in Europe, USA und Japan. During the following years the band played many shows and open air festivals. They appeared several times on the main stage of the Wacken Open Air.

"Out Of The Business" is full of great AOR tunes and melodic hard rock - catchy uptempo-rockers ("Stop This Game"), smashing midtempo-hits ("S.O.S.") or groovy shuffles ("How Much Love"). "The reissue is also a memory to our first singer Petra Degelow", says drummer Kai-Ove Kessler. Petra died in 2013 at the age of 53. "She was the heart and the voice of the band". And there is a special guest on this classic album: Alex Conti, guitarist of German band "Lake", played two guitar solos.

And the band has another surprise: On the reissue of "Out Of The Business" there is a 2023 version of the hit "How Much Love". The current version is sung by Andrea Löhndorf, the voice of BAD SISTER. All songs on the record were remastered in the studio and now sound fresh and powerful.
