30 years ago, Slaughter held a listening party for their forthcoming new album The Wild Life released April 21 1992. These listening parties look like a lot of fun though it could be tiresome for the band to repeat the same ol’ schtick. Mark Slaughter, Dana Strum, Tim Kelly (rest in peace) and Blas Elias all get some camera time. The focus is on growth and change, and indeed The Wild Life was a progression from the debut that never quite got the credit it was due. A few Canada jokes, and the suits can be seen bopping their heads to the new album.

Too cool. Such a great album. I want to get the reissue, but haven’t bit the bullet on it yet.

Same. Too many reissues to buy. Good album though, definitely one I want to upgrade.

My favorite album from them.
By this time Slaughter and Strum had enough experience and time in the music business to craft a killer rock record with the potential to grow.

Agreed!! There are two or three more progressive tunes on the album. But still catchy. It’s a great album. Unfortunately doomed!

I know doomed is a perfect word to sum it up.
Their follow up didn’t even get an Australian release. Then again when a label isn’t interested, shit like that happens.

It didn’t get a release here either. We had it on US import, about 30 bucks if you could find one.

Man I have not heard this in years. Saw em open for Ozzy along with UKJ back in 92. They always came across as cool guys. Fans of music that were in a band which is how I seen it….
