Biography
Christian rock band from Houston, Texas.
Straightway were a Mid 80's Metal band out of Houston, Texas who had a couple demo's before releasing this EP in 1989. It has a very commercial Metal sound and is actually pretty well produced considering they produced it themselves. In reality this is a 4 song EP with a short instrumental and a novelty rap song. In my opinion they should have just left then off. The rap track is ridiculous and difficult to listen to but maybe my opinion would have been different in 1989. Actually I doubt it. So let's remove those 2 tracks from the review and talk about the final 4. Like I said they have a pretty commercial sound and I'm a little surprised they didn't have a follow up album but I honestly feel their Beastie Boys'ish rap track hurt them. Actually if someone had done a Beastie Boy's type album it might have had some success but I wouldn't have bought it. So if you like your metal with a commercial feel this is the EP for you.
