Rocktober 14: Shotgun Messiah

"Heartbreak Blvd."


I don't have much to say about this one. Shotgun Messiah came along with this song toward the tail end of the hair metal craze, so they never made it too far onto the radar. My cousin Rachel really liked them; they didn't do much for me. I appreciate this song more now with the distance of years—it has a heavier edge to it that characterizes the turn the rock world was taking. This is a band that, as I try to build out my collection, has become hard to find. This album (1991's Second Coming) is available on Spotify, but that's it for them on there, and trying to find physical copies is hit or miss.
