“ TORONTO BASED FOUR piece
Coney Hatch were one of Canada’s brightest hopes during the mid eighties. They
impressed fans and critics alike with their rambunctious brand of melodic hard
rock, a sound imbued with a certain, some might say typically Canadian,
quirkiness. Catchy, for sure, but also containing twists and turns that
suggested the band had been students of a number of hard rockin’ maple leaf acts
from April Wine to the riff hungry swagger of Triumph and all points in between.
‘Friction’ was the band’s third and, as it turned out, their final album. It was
a record designed to infiltrate the mass market, with catchy hooks and a
selection of punishing riffs. Issued in 1985 and crafted by renowned British
producer Max Norman (Ozzy Osbourne, Y&T, Lynch Mob) the record was received with
great critical enthusiasm, but hit a brick wall at their record company. With
Def Leppard and Bon Jovi receiving major promotional pushes, Coney Hatch were
sidelined and left, without the financial budget, to fight their own corner.
It was a crushing disappointment, leaving the band in a state of confusion and,
ultimately, unable to carry on. Their legacy, however, continues to grow, with
many citing ‘Friction’ as their finest and, possibly, one of the best albums
released that year. Revisit the likes of ‘This Ain’t Love’, ‘Fantasy’ and
‘Burning Love’ for proof positive that this record delivered on all fronts.” ~
