Fletchanator's comment: From the Gateway to the West - St Louis, Missouri - come glam metal four-piece Frontrunner. This is their second album (their debut streeted in 1989) and as far as I know their last.
Music-wise this album reminds me alot of Warrant, with the slight funkiness of Extreme thrown into the mix. Vocalist Stephen T Allen reminds me of a young Jon Bon Jovi, although his voice isn't quite as strong. Notable is the funk-ified cover for The Devil Went Down to Georgia (I still prefer Primus' version).
Solid mid-90s hard rock with plenty of glam and funk, definitely worth checking out.
