Steve Brown Interview – 2020

You don’t need to be a die-hard ’80s metal fan to know that the fruits of an artistic alliance between Danger Danger singer Ted Poley and guitarist/producer Steve Brown of Trixter was going to make melodic rock fans rejoice! And in fact, when the Self-Titled debut album hit the market, that’s when the fun really started to happen! The contagious party-vibe of TOKYO MOTOR FIST debut album conquered all the music fans who have been starving for new albums from Trixter or Danger Danger and now the wait is over. The band once again delivers exactly what the fans would expect: catchy and uplifting hard rock, the way is should be! You want big – we mean, BIG – hooks? You got ‘em. What about major guitar riffs? Of course there’s plenty of those. Killer rhythm section? Well, with Greg Smith (Ted Nugent, Rainbow, Alice Cooper) and Chuck Burgi (Rainbow, Blue Oyster Cult, Joe Lynn Turner) you simply can’t go wrong! Ted and Steve have been friends for a long time. They were playing the same club circuit with their respective bands, Danger Danger and Trixter, when both bands were starting their careers. Over the years, they had a great personal relationship and the idea of doing a record together has been in the cards for many years. Now, thanks to Frontiers this concept has become a reality. Beefy and energetic, “Tokyo Motor Fist” is sure to please not only Ted Poley, Danger Danger, and Trixter’s fans, but all fans of Def Leppard, Bon Jovi and Cheap Trick  and melodic hard rock in general. Don’t miss this superb release!
