D:A:D - Good Clean Family Entertainment You Can Trust (Milestone Material 85-95) [Re-mastered]

Close

Less than underscoring D:A:D's admirable songwriting chops during this, the first decade of their career, the cheekily titled Good Clean Family Entertainment You Can Trust – Milestone Material 85-95 winds up revealing their stylistic inconsistency from record to record. While this certainly speaks volumes about the Danish cowpunkers' versatility, it's hardly the stuff that long-lasting careers – much less loyal fan bases – are made of. Regardless, for those looking to get a broad sampling of D:A:D's output instead of a maximum shot of inspiration, the 15 tracks collected here will do just fine. Although these are mostly culled from the band's three best-known international releases of the late '80s and early '90s, special (and welcome) emphasis is placed on the stellar No Fuel Left for the Pilgrims album (five cuts in all) and its classic "Sleeping My Day Away." As for the group's initial lesser-known European-only releases, choice nuggets from this era include the Cramps-ish "Marlboro Man" and the triple live threat of "I Won't Cut My Hair," "Riding With Sue," and "It's After Dark."

D:A:D (short for Disneyland After Dark) was formed in Copenhagen, Denmark, in the mid-'80s by Jesper Binzer (vocals/guitar), Jacob Binzer (lead guitar), Stig Pederson (bass), and Peter Jensen (drums). The band built quite a following in their homeland with a number of independent releases before signing with Warner Brothers for a reputedly huge sum in 1988. After shortening their name to avoid legal repercussions, the band released their international debut, No Fuel Left for the Pilgrims, the following year. But despite their electrifying AC/DC-inspired hard rock, a great image, and a strong showing in Europe, the album did nothing in America. Internal upheaval at their record company didn't help, and following a few years in limbo the band finally released their second album, Riskin' it All, in 1992. Unfortunately, it met with similar indifference, and after touring behind the album (with a now-legendary stage set featuring a giant couch as a drum riser, on which the band members would constantly jump up and down while playing) the band was dropped. By 1995, D:A:D were signed to EMI-Medley, which released their third album, Helpyourselfish. It was followed by Simpatico in 1997 and Psychopatico in 1998. Early in 1999, drummer Peter Jensen left the band, and was replaced by Laust Sonne leading up to the release of Everything Glows in 2000.
