Bad English was an American rock band formed by 3 ex-members of the band The Babys, Jonathan Cain, John Waite and Ricky Phillips (now in Styx) along with Journey guitarist Neal Schon.

The band's first, self titled album released in 1988, gave the band two hit singles in the United States, "When I See You Smile" and "Price of Love". However, on their second album, entitled "Backlash", the one and only single failed to enter the U.S. Top 40, peaking at number 42.

Soon after the band recorded their second album "Backlash" (1991), the group disbanded, even before the album could be mixed. In a later interview, singer John Waite said, that while he enjoyed playing to stadium sized audiences, he wasn't happy with the corporate rock image that the band presented.

BAD ENGLISH Backlash

Album · 1991 · Hard Rock

Stephen

After the big success on their eponymous debut with the single "When I See Your Smile", somehow this second release was left out of the party and just vanished with the wind. With single "Straight From The Heart" stayed only for a moment in the Billboard Top 40 chart, Bad English was disbanded soon after.

"Backlash" itself actually is still as strong as their debut spanning many great tracks, from the uptempo AOR "So This Is Eden", "Dancing Off The Edge of The World", and "Rebel Say A Prayer" to the heartfelt ballads, "The Time Alone With You", "Savage Blue", and the single "Straight To Your Heart". With the golden vocal of John Waite and the stunning emotional guitar playing of Neal Schon, Bad English was more than just a mere pop rock band, this is a bunch of skillful musicians with an extra-ordinary songwriting ability. Highly recommended!
