Stephen
Adam Shore was in Warrant before Jani Lane but when they're climbing the ladder high, Lane was recruited to replace him and Shore eventually met guitarist Don E. Sachs to finally form Shake City in late 1986. Some songs were written and produced by Tommy Thayer of Black N' Blue and Erik Turner of Warrant, so won't be a surprise if you can find influences from those bands inside. Touring from club to club, state to state, Shake City is building up their reputation but then finally fell off to ground in 1992 when the musical climate started to change.

17 years in silence, Eonian brought back the fond memories of their wild and wicked days. The typical sound of early 90s glam is all over their songs, such as the great hard rock tunes of "One Good Reason", "Betty Blue", and "Game of War" (which was written by Jani Lane) or the party anthem of "Submarine" and "Lust & Love". The interesting bluesy flair on "Get It While It's Hot" and the Enuff Z'Nuff vibe on "Psychedelic Ride" are also lovable. Two superb ballads to watch here are "Sweet Dreams" and "Can't Get Over You", while the rest three are decent fillers.

The production is also average and as usual, it's acceptable considering most of the songs are from 20 years ago, at least we can listen to the powerful vocal of Adam Shore and the killer guitar lines of Sachs/Blair duet. If you like Poison, Sweet.F.A, Southgang, or Warrant, this is such a great and enjoyable album to have.
