Diamond Star Halos is the brand new album from Def Leppard, their first since their chart topping self-titled Def Leppard record in 2015. Written by the band over the past two years, it features 15 tracks including the anthemic, stadium-ready singles “Kick” and “Fire It Up”, with guest vocals from Alison Krauss on “This Guitar” and “Lifeless”. The album title references T. Rex’s “Bang a Gong (Get It On)” with nods to T.Rex, David Bowie and Mott The Hoople across the album, which mixes the sound of their classic spirit with modern fire.

On this day in 1988, Judas Priest released their 11th studio album, RAM IT DOWN. Back in 1986, the band wanted to release a double album called Twin Turbos, half of which was supposed to feature mainstream hard rock, while the other half would showcase a much heavier (and synthesizer free) sound. The record company hated the idea and made the band release them as two separate albums. Not surprisingly, the more commercial sounding tunes ended up on Turbo in ‘86, while the heavier tracks made their way onto Ram It Down in '88. Aside from the band’s awkward cover of Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B. Goode,” Ram It Down proved to be a solid piece of work with a number of searing riffs from Tipton & Downing. American audiences appeared to embrace it wholeheartedly, as album sales were strong enough to garner a gold certification in less than two months.
On this day in 1989, Dangerous TOYS released their eponymous debut album! Having formed in October 1987, the bad boys from Austin were signed to Columbia Records in the Spring of ‘88 after being discovered by a publishing rep at SXSW. Oddly enough, even though guitarist Danny Aaron is pictured on the back cover of the album (and credited for playing), Scott Dalhover actually played all the guitar parts on the recording. Another guitarist named Tim Trembley (who formed DT with singer Jason McMaster) co-wrote what would become the band’s biggest hit, but inexplicably jumped ship before the recording sessions began. The album rose to #65 on the Billboard 200 that year and was eventually certified Gold in 1994. Now go crank a little Teas'n, Pleas'n!!
