Spread Eagle "Open To The Public (Japan, Sample CD, MCA Records, MCVM-243)"

Spread Eagle is an American hard rock band from New York City. After only a few months of formation, they were signed by MCA/Universal Records. They have released three albums: Spread Eagle (1990), Open To The Public (1993) and Subway To The Stars (2019).

Spread Eagle's bassist Rob De Luca is also a member of British rock band UFO.

The band spent a lot of time on the road before recording their second album and began burning out. First to leave was drummer Tommi Gallo. He was replaced by Kirke Blankenship who did not stay for long and played drums on one track (High Horses) of the second album Open To The Public. That album was then recorded with session drummers John Macaluso from TNT and Thommy Price from Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. 

Open to the Public was released in 1993. Dave Femia played the drums on the following tour. Gallo then returned but quit after a US tour. The new record did not meet the expectations of their fans and grunge took over the music scene. So in 1995 Spread Eagle resigned and split up.
