Hericane Alice "Tear The House Down (Japan, Atlantic Records, AMCY-8)"

Hericane Alice were a heavy metal band from Minneapolis, MN. They were originally called The Employers in the early 80's and then changed their name to Hurricane Alice. 

Hurricane Alice went on to ink a deal with Atlantic Records in 1989, but were forced to slightly alter their name to 'Hericane Alice' just before the release of their one and only album, ‘Tear The House Down’ produced by Thom Panunzio at A&M Studios in Hollywood, in 1990 following objections from the Enigma signed outfit 'Hurricane'. The spelling of the new branding was in fact suggested by Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks, whom the band shared management with. A promotional video for the track ‘Wild, Young and Crazy’ was filmed and touring undertaken supporting L.A. Guns, Skid Row and Whitesnake.

Tracklist:

1. Wild Young And Crazy
2. Bad To Love
3. Dream Girl
4. Tear The House Down
5. Badboy Breakout
6. Need A Lover
7. Too Late
8. Shake, Shake, Shout
9. Crank The Heat Up
10. I Walk Alone

Some copies came with an additional 4-panel foldout in Japanese print, as well as a mail-in card, also printed in Japanese.
