Years before LIT tripped the light fantastic and became their own worst enemy, they were just a gang of long-haired southern california teens known as Razzle looking for a piece of the action. In 1993 they found it when they self-released a five song CD called "New Vibe Revolution" which I've no doubt got them laid a ton back then. All four members of LIT are present and accounted for here, from brothers A.J. and Jeremy "Allen" to rhythm section Kevin Baldes and "Big" Al Shellen. Then there is fifth member Chadd Anthony, who obviously quit before they became LIT. You think Chadd regrets that decision now? Maybe not now, but in the late 90's when "My Own Worst Enemy" played on MTV like it was on a loop? Yeah, I'm sure he put a gun in his mouth a few times, I just hope he didn't pull the trigger. Anyways, what we have here is a prime example of Hollywood's Sunset Strip scene, even though it came late in the day and grunge had already started to hammer the nails into hair metal's coffin. But "New Vibe Revolution" proves that as late as 1993, the party was still happening in Hollywood.

How do I get a copy of this cd? As a huge Lit fan, I have looked everywhere with no success.
ReplyDeleteDear Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteObviously you can download the CD here, which is why I posted it in the first place...because it's impossible to find. But keep watching Ebay, as no doubt I'll have to sell this copy at some point to make some scratch.
Love,
The SRM
This is a real rarity.
ReplyDeleteDo you also have songs from the Stain era?
Sorry Daniele, no songs from the Stain era. I saw 'em live and used to have a demo tape, but unfortunately it disappeared long ago. - The SRM
ReplyDeleteIs there any way someone can burn and sell me a copy of this disc complete with all disc covers and such? My computers down for a while and I really want this disc.
