Stealer = early 80's metal, Singer Ron Keel went on to be a CW singer.
Black & Blue = early 80's metal , would sell-out 300-500-1500 seats when ever they played. Singer Jamie St. James co-wrote a bunch of Kiss songs w/ P. Stanley. Guitar player is the current "Ace Frehley" named Tommy Thayer
The best of the bunch , in L.A. that never made it out, is a Band called London , they where huge in the early Glam scene. Nicky Sixx's first band, amongest many many more of those dude's who started out in London and went onto other bands. I think London is actually still together in whatever form, playing "retro Glam" nights around town.
here are two great bands from detroit they both had deals that fell apart
the lead singer ended up playing guitar for Uncle cracker
HiFi Handgrenades put out an album on a indy toured for a year with Foo Fighters then broke up
they had some great great songs but I chose a cover because well I love superchunk

Saw this thread and had to post one of my favorite local Baltimore bands... Dog Fashion Disco. They had their last show a few years ago and dissolved for all the reasons bands normally do. Lack of large commercial success was on of them. They had a metal, jazz, hardcore fusion sound with lead singer Todd Smith laying down some uniquely diverse vocal talent. Offen compaired to Mike Patton. Check them out and their new band if you like hardcore with a melodic and sometimes sadistic flair...
I just picked up their CD Polkadot Cadaver - Purgarory Dance Party. If you want to hear a hardcore indie album unlike anything you've ever heard pick up a copy. Badass!
