Riggs

This Californian quartet was founded by vocalist/guitarist Jerry Riggs in 1981. With Jeremy Graf (acoustic guitar), David Riderick (bass) and Stephen Roy Carlisle (drums) completing the line-up, they specific in hard-edged, metallic pop, with substantial crossover potential. Riggs on vocals was especially distinctive, sounding not really dissimilar to Bryan Adams. Their debut in support of release continues to be an undiscovered jewel of infectious and elegant AOR. These were unfortunate for the reason that they lacked a solid visual picture and, with out a solid promotional drive, the task was doomed. Disillusioned, they disbanded, with Jerry Riggs later on going to play with Pat Travers.
