No Sweat – S/T (Release Year – 1990)

No SweatAnother great CD worth mentioning is the debut by Irish rockers No Sweat. This disc came out back in 1990, and sadly the band disappeared shortly thereafter.

No Sweat features Paul Quinn on vocals, Dave Gooding on guitar, Jim Phillips on guitar, Jon Angel on bass, Paul J. Smith on Keyboards, and Ray Fean on drums.

This disc actually features the drumming of former Kingdom Come member James Kottak(before Ray Fean was in theNoSweat BandPic band), and also enlisted a couple of guest stars in Saga’s Michael Sadler and James Crichton.

No Sweat has a sound that reminds me quite a bit of Tyketto, and much like that band, No Sweat didn’t earn the fame they deserved. This is another one of those great hard rock CD’s from the early 90’s, that by all means should have made this band a household name. They did have a semi hit with their video for Heart and Soul on MTV for a while, and was getting plenty of play back on the nationally syndicated Z-Rock Hard Rock Radio Station.

Heart and Soul

RareRockRewindMediumThere really isn’t a bad song on this disc, and all of the tunes have a very polished sound. The guitars are clean, the bass isn’t over powering, and the keyboards are mixed well. Paul Quinn’s delivery of his vocals remind me quite a bit of Danny Vaughn’s style, but he has a sound all his own.

My favorite tracks are Heart and Soul, Shake, On the Edge, Tear Down the Walls, and Generation.

You can still grab a used copy of this CD for next to nothing off of Amazon.com. It is a damn fine disc, and still worth picking up.
