Hit the Ground Runnin' - Control Yourself (CD)

Hit The Ground Runnin' is an AOR/Rock group formed in 1985 in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. "Control Yourself" was originally recorded between 1990 and 1991 as an intended follow-up to Hit the Ground Runnin's debut album "Sudden Impact". The band had opportunities in television/film at the time, the song Back Again appeared in Rocky V, as well as Surrounded By Fire for the film Backdraft. The band was able to secure a record deal with a major label, but with the changing musical trends of the early 90s, the album was finally put on hold. The album was first released in 2001 on Smash Records. The original pressing was a hard to find collector's item in the AOR scene and fans have been asking for a re-release for a long time. Similar to the band's first successful release, Sudden Impact (1989), Control Yourself will be released with new artwork and 3 additional bonus tracks: a previously unreleased song Melva Devine, a demo of Back Again with original guitarist Alan Augunas and an alternative demo version of the song Pain. Another classic of AOR/Melodic Rock made available again by Pride & Joy. Artist Origin: USATrack list:1. Control Yourself, 2. Back Again, 3. Shanghaid, 4. Lost, Still Life Lover, 5.
