Stephen Singer Vicky Wright left the NWoBHM band, Tokyo Blade, to pursue his career in Los Angeles where he eventually found life isn't as easy as on TV. Luckily he bumped into Christopher Stewart and soon after they're landed a record deal by CBS and released "Neighbourhood Threat" in 1990. Johnny Crash's musical style is heavily influenced by AC/DC, with a mix of sleaziness of Faster Pussycat and L.A.Guns.

Their only single, "Hey Kid", earned a regular playback on MTV, and an awesome upbeat rocker with a memorable chorus. The next couple of songs, "No Bones About It" and "All The Way In Love" are derived straightly from AC/DC style and turned out to be one of their strongest tracks. "Axe To The Wax" featured a chuggering riffs and a sing-along chorus, "Sink or Swim" is a nice uptempo sleaze rock, and "Halfway To Heaven" is a great slab of hard rock.

It's hard to find any fillers on this album, but the weak point is that they grabbed too many AC/DC powders with several songs were played in the very same style while the rest suffered from a big chorus, such as the decent ballad, "Freedom Road", an average rocker "Trigger Happy", and the bluesy-ball "Baby's Like A Piano". Despite all that, I still value "Neighbourhood Threat" a good album to have, for the nice vocal delivery, the tight rhythm section packed here, and a fun-drive of classic rock and roll.
