This Was An Album Produced On 1987 By The (KOSHER RECORDS)
Back in the day this was as close to a saved AC/DC you could get. It might sound all a bit simplistic these days, but at the time this record really stood out among the sugary sweet pop drivel of most Christian artists. "Back Seat Driver", "Freedom", "To Be Someone" are great rockers with a really solid feel. Highlight track though is the ballad about Bon Scott, "The Loner". The chorus says, "He was a rocker, he was a roller, he used to sing a song about a highway to hell. Now he's travelling down that road and he's walking all alone. Someone should have told him hell's a bad place to be." Brilliant stuff with a nice bluesy feel. Many people comment about how good the Power and The Glory album is. I think this is the harder edged of the two and certainly may favourite.At times I can hear Force 3 in there, but they really improved with Force 3. The albums 100% put out are great, but very basic 80's metal. I can see how they are compared to AC/DC at times, but I prefer them over AD/DC since I hate pretty much everything AC/DC stands for.I really like this band ! For 1981 who can compare to this hard rockin band ! Very claasic metal feel to this album ! I love it ! I really like Charlie Wilsen's Vocals and guitar ! Also these guys have a strong message of Jesus ! I gave this band 5 stars !!!! They rock !!!Formed in 1978 and split in the mid 80's. is a shamed that this has never been released on cd,,and by the way they stopped releasing more

albums,,this was a cool band of powermetal,,I really like it they sounded heavy on their era,,you could enjoy lots of hooksguitar here,and the vocalist, voice like thundersound,,humm Their music was very similar to Status Quo/Jerusalem (The Swedish Rock Band). If a band is sorely missed it is this one. What happened to them afterwards I do not know. What was discussed in the Buzz magazine whether British bands should go Christian Contemporary or Worship. A few chose to go worship which was the general inclination at the time. so this band later changed the band named so at this Moment is (FORCE 3)http://www.force3.co.uk/

100% proof are possibly my all time greatest band...
Saw them play a couple of times when I was a reenager and they changed my life!!!
I still have and regularly listen to the 100% proof album but really would like a copy of Power and Glory...
Do you have a copy???
