Official video for their song “She-Mystery Girl” from their 2017 studio album “Nekyia”, released via Perris Records on February 8, 2017.
Created in 2008, Cyanide 4 quickly built a strong fanbase in Greece and abroad, which longs for the 80s glam era of Los Angeles and looks admirably to the new rock ‘n’ roll wave of the Scandinavian peninsula. Adding their own personal element, Sinn, Slut, Nasty and Alex know their stuff and are making their way step by step towards the music pantheon where endless nights, drinks, rage and love are no obstacles.
Having already completed their first video for their new song “Live The Life”, participating in the compilation “Reborn In Sleaze: A Tribute To Dave Lepard” by Street Symphonies Records, showcasing their talent on the Radio Arvyla TV show and performing as the opening act of Lizzy Borden, Scorpions (in Xanthi and Thessaloniki), Crashdiet and W.A.S.P., they are labelled as one of the most promising sleaze bands of Greece.
Jillson originated from Nevada and are better known for multi-instrumentalist Don Jillson (aka Tommy Paris) later replacing “Dizzy” Dean Davidson on vocals with BRITNY FOX, & recording 2 albums to date with them (“Bite Down hard” & “Springhead Motorshark”). He remained as BRITNY FOX’s vocalist until he was replaced by Jamie Fletcher in 2008 with that act splitting up shortly thereafter.
JILLSON originally released a 4-track EP in 1986 featuring the tracks: “Take it All The Way”, “InTouch”, “Use Me”, & “The End” (with only a re-recorded version of “The End” appearing as a bonus track on the Retrospect reissue of JILLSON’s lone LP from 1990 titled, “Deadly Girl”). The lineup on that EP only featured 2 members: Don Jillson (v/b/g/d/k) & Scott Evans (g). It’s unclear if there were any other lineups before or after that EP, but Don would put together a lineup featuring: Terry Ripley (g), Jamie Warren Borden (d) (ex-STRANGER, ex-DIVINE JUDGEMENT, ex-J.J.T. + others), & Dale Borden (b/k).
They would record the “Deadly Girl” LP in 1990 with the Retrospect reissue including 3 bonus tracks that were recorded shortly after the album (likely in 1990 as well). Don Jillson would join BRITNY FOX afterwards as well as DIVINE JUDGEMENT with Jamie Warren Borden, & would more recently tour with the Classic Rock act COUNT’S 77 that features Danny “Count” Koker on vocals from the television series “Counting Cars” (it’s unclear if Don Jillson is currently with that group or not).
Don would also record material once again with Jamie Warren Borden & guitarist Jimmy Crespo (ex-AEROSMITH, ex-ADAM BOMB, ex-ROUGH CUTT, ex-FLAME, Solo) with material more recently being unearthed by Retrospect Records as well. The JILLSON sound was criminally underrated Melodic Rock with AOR/HM/Glam tendencies best comparable to “Bite Down Hard”-era BRITNY FOX as well as some of the bands mentioned above & also acts such as REO SPEEDWAGON & CHICAGO during their lighter moments 90s indicated by Retrospect Records). Don Jillson also recorded a Solo LP under the “Tommy Paris” moniker in 2002 that was more along the lines of modernized garbage.
Greek Hair Metal band Raw Silk only released one album in 1990 titled “Silk Under The Skin” The LP pressing is quite rare fetching prices well over $100! A CD version also exists and can be purchased for a normal price. Here is the only video ever made by Raw Silk, a quite popular local hit of the time.
