“My favorite songs everybody says are lame”
In 1991, the rock “in crowd” was looking increasingly like a bunch of grunge numpties. So miserable. Much better to throw your lot in with glam outsiders Enuff Z’Nuff who released their pop metal masterpiece Strength that same year. It never scored the commercial breakthrough it was tipped to achieve but, never mind, it still holds up today. In fact, I listen to it and enjoy it more than ever. Here’s one of the album’s best tracks, In Crowd. It’s a brilliant sleazy rocker with a killer riff, Cheap Trick-grade hooks and smart, self-deprecating lyrics. Despite using the phrase “so miserable” seven times, In Crowd is a ton of fun.
HEAVY METAL OVERLOAD 
These guys had some good momentum in ’91. For a split second we were going to see them down in the States but the only problem was they were opening for Nelson which was the deal breaker. We instead went and seen Warrant/Firehouse and Trixter instead….

Yeah Kerrang used to rave about EZN back then. Quite right too. They had cool albuns after this as well but Strength is my favourite.

Yeah that was a good show. Warrants stage set acceptable in 91 would be a no go in 2023! lol

These guys were good enough. Just on the cusp of breaking huge, but never really did.
