Stephen It's been 18 years since "On Target" was released, "Cadence" is perhaps one of the widest gap releases of a band to launch their sophomore record. "Cadence" might sound slightly different than what they made in 1992, but one thing that stays the same is the spirit of creating one hell of an album, full of delicious licks, sing-along chorus, tight arrangement, and killer solos, from start to finish.

"Power Trippin" will maul your ears with loud groovy riffs, a sensational start that continues the excitement with "Martyr". A very smooth melodic rock track with a very nice vocal delivery by David Reece, and Mitchell top their game with his superb solo. "Tomorrow" sweeps like a tidal wave, the arrangement is predictable, looks like a safe choice, but well-executed. "Never Say Goodbye" moves with a happy vibe, loading the song with fun chords and thrilling chorus, a great midtempo track which is also my personal favourite. "Sweet Temptation" brings the unmistakable sound of classic Bangalore Choir, I love this track in my first spin as I love "Loaded Gun" when I first heard it thousand years ago. "Surrender All Your Love" is a fantastic finish, it's like a brilliant encore of a concert and the band is leaving the stage with a standing ovation.

Some songs have a similar sounding and grip, and probably couple of songs like "High On The Clouds" or "Spirits Too They Bleed" aren't as great as the rest, so I humbly think that squeezing the album with only ten great tracks will make this album much better. Treated with the luxury of great production and wonderful songs, "Cadence" deserved a higher place in the heart of melodic rock and glam fans all over the world.

Stephen Bangalore Choir is a short-lived melodic rock act comprised of former Accept's frontman, David Reece, and also ex-members of Hericane Alice. Playing with the typical sound of Bon Jovi and commercial Whitesnake, "On Target" is a sanctuary for melodic ears, but the real strong element inside is the Coverdalish singing style of Reece. His vocal performance is blazing and flawless on many varied tracks inside, from the fast-tempo rockers to the acoustical ballad.

"Angel In Black" will grab your attention instantly. This Autograph unreleased track was enhanced with the band's uplifting rhythm, and somehow turned out to be surprisingly awesome. "Loaded Gun" is the band's MTV-hit track, a great commercial tune. "If The Good Die Young" is really a wonderful power ballad, one of their strongest tracks. The other ballad, "Hold On To You", is also quite okay, even though not nearly as great as the former. "All Or Nothin" and "Slippin' Away" are definitely their best tracks. The quick-pace of intense hard rock rhythm combined with superb chorus and beautiful hooks are simply genius. The last track, "Just One Night", is also an underrated gem with unbelievably majestic chorus. "Doin' The Dance" which supposed to be a great track because it was written by Jon Bon Jovi and Aldo Nova, ironically is the worst of a bunch.

After folding the cards, Reece resurrected the band in 2010 with their latest release, "Cadence". Apart from the fact that it's a good album and showed the band's heavier side, there's no doubt that "On Target" remained their best release. For fans of Bon Jovi, Warrant, or 80s Whitesnake, the recently-remastered disc should be on your top-priority buy list if you haven't have it yet.
