\nFnA Records has unearthed yet another lost recording from the late \u201980s, Oklahoma hard rockers TEASER never before heard album \u201dYou Promised Me Heaven\u2026\u2019\u2018, and we\u2019re featuring it exclusively on plotn08. When others promise what they don\u2019t have, we deliver\u2026
\n<\/p>\n
TEASER was formed in 1984 and quickly rose to the top of the Oklahoma rock music scene. In the fall of 1987 the band relocated to Los Angeles where they performed at all of the famous music venues along the Sunset Strip.
\nThroughout the years the guys from TEASER were fortunate to open \/ share the stage with a virtual who\u2019s who of rock royalty including: Motley Crue, Poison, Skid Row, RATT, Tesla, DIO, Stryper, White Lion, Bullet Boys, and many more.
\nTEASER recorded several demos for shopping labels and some companies were interested to sign them, but in the overcrowded L.A. scene many fine bands ended with empty hands. Musically these guys were like a mix of SLAUGHTER, early SKID ROW, HERICANE ALICE, FIREHOUSE, etc, with strong songs such as the hard hitting \u2018Go for Your Guns\u2019, title track \u2018You Promised Me Heaven\u2026\u2019, the punchy \u2018Sweet Revenge\u2019, or the killer rocker \u2018The Devil Made Me Do It\u2019 full of gang vocals and street attitude.<\/p>\n
TEASER continued playing the West Coast until the American rock industry changed. Then band members all made their way back home to Oklahoma. Vocalist Mike Pierce became an aviation specialist, Guitarist Tim Chisholm became an Oklahoma City Firefighter. Bassist John Gray became a Police Detective & S.W.A.T. Team Leader for the city of Warr Acres, OK. Drummer Greg Calkins became a Stage Manager for World Classic Rockers, and a licensed arms dealer.
\nMusic brought them together and forged a life-long brotherhood that will never be broken, as the band reunite sporadically to play some shows.
