The majority of the hard rock loving public are probably not aware their was a band called Sleeze Beez. Hair metal fans know them, (most of them love this band) but very few are aware that Sleeze Beez put out a fourth studio album in 1994.

The hair metal scene was on life support by this time, and new releases such as this one, got very little, if any mentions in the press.

The tunes on Insanity Beach have a much harder edge than the Sleeze Beez previous releases.

Insanity Beach isn’t so heavy that Sleeze Beez fans wont like it. In fact, those taking the time out to check this disc out, will be greatly surprised.

Many hard rock acts from the late 80’s and early 90’s tried to update their sound in an effort to keep going. The change in the Sleeze Beez sound isn’t quite as drastic as the updated sounds from Warrant, Shotgun Messiah, or Asphalt Ballet. It may be a harder approach, but its very listenable.

My favorite cuts on this disc are “Human Zoo“, “Sacrifice“, and the title track “Insanity Beach“.  While I don’t think this CD is as good as Screwed, Blued & Tattooed, it is better than previous effort, Powertool.

This disc has been out of print for a while, but you can still find copies of it on eBay.  Happy Hunting!
