One of the lesser known but definately among the most underrated Hair Metal bands to come out of Florida.

Formed in 1985 in Tampa it only took them a few months to develop a dedicated regional following! Intice played some great shows all over the southeastern United States opening for bands such as Steppenwolf, Foghat, Johnny Van Zant, Head East, Savatage and more.

Their debut album “Taste The Night” was recorded in 1989 at the famous Morrisound Studios with producer Jim Morris (Warrant, Savatage, Crimson Glory, Saigon Kick and many many more) and released the same year via Nite Train Records. More shows played after the release with the likes of Babylon A.D. and Tora Tora. Unfortunately the band split up in 1990.

In 2016 two Intice songs made it to the soundtrack of the action/thriller movie Vicious Thunder. The same year Demon Doll Records released a 19 song CD with the title “The Legacy” which features all the tracks ever recorded by them.

Official video from the second album of Tesla, released in 1989. The album features songs that combine 1980s metal with some blues-influenced elements, as well as the occasional love ballad.
“The Way It Is” as well as the hit singles “Love Song”, “Heaven’s Trail (No Way Out)” and “Hang Tough”received considerable MTV airplay and rocketed the band to stardom.

“The Way It Is” picked at #13 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks Chart and at #55 on the Billboard Hot 100

“Price of Love” is the third single of Bad English, taken from their self-titled debut album of the same name, released in 1989. The song reached #5 in the U.S. in March 1990.
The music video for the song featured alternating scenes of lead singer John Waite standing with various moving cityscapes in the background and scenes of the band performing on stage.

The first single released by White Lion from the 1989 album “Big Game”.

Little Fighter is a song about a Greenpeace boat The Rainbow Warrior that was destroyed by operatives of the French intelligence service in an New Zealand harbor in 1985

Are you cryin’ tonight, are you
Feelin’ alright
I’ll tell the world that you are,
Down on your luck, you were
One of the kind
One who’d never give in
Even when they put a price on your head

Has anyone heard the tales you tell
Or seen the scars you wear
Did anyone speak up when you fell
Does anybody care

Rise again little fighter
And let the world know the reason why
Shine again little fighter
And don’t let ’em end the things you do

And you were one with a cause,
And a reason to be
You were a fighter for peace
On this earth
And you were never afraid
You put your life on the line
And you were always alone
Out on the sea

Without a weapon in your hand
You came to fight a war
They took your life, but didn’t know
That you would never die

Rise again little fighter
And let the world know the reason why
Shine again little fighter
And don’t let ’em end the things you do

Are you feelin’ alright
‘Cause I care

Rise again little fighter
And let the world know the reason why
Shine again little fighter
And don’t let ’em end the things you do

Rise again little fighter
And let the world know the reason why
Shine again little fighter
And don’t let ’em end the things you do

The music video for “Bang” received heavy rotation on the American MTV, where it stayed two months in MTV’s Top 15, peaking at number 3. The song reached number 41 on the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks, but didn’t enter the Hot 100. In Europe, the single was probably most successful in Norway, where it spent 6 weeks in the VG-lista Topp 10, four of them at number 5.
