They are one of the many hair bands whose careers went no where after grunge music became popular.
Their bassists and drummers would leave constantly.
'Fight to Survive' was originally only sold in Japan.
Their best known song 'When the Children Cry' is a power ballad.
Electra Records did not like their recording of 'Pride' and refused to release the album and terminated their contract.
They were signed to Glam Records in 1985, which went bankrupt in a few months.

Unlike many bands in the 1980's, many of their songs are about political and social issues.
They had an appearance in the Tom Hanks movie 'The Money Pit.'
They have opened for Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne, Stryper, Kiss and AC/DC.
Vito Brata was named 'Best New Guitarist' by Guitar World magazine in 1989.
