Review

Legacy is a hardrock band that circulate around the rockscene in the late 80s and toured with bands such as REZ, Shout, Sacred Warrior, Mylon Lefevre & Broken Heart and Allies. Yes, Legacy is a Christian hardrock band and now Eonian Records has released their only album were the songs has been written between 1988-1990. This is a typical 80s hardrock band that sounds like Stryper, Dokken and Firehouse. Singer Doug Meacham has a voice that reminds a bit of Don Dokken mixed with Michael Sweet (Stryper). This is album filled with loud riffs, tight rhythms, huge melodic hooks and big choruses with great arrangements. The album has 14 tracks and it could have been cut down to maybe 10 songs to lift up the album even more. But this is really nice80s hair-metal/hardrock with a good production. A song like Forever In Your Arms will set the Stryper hearts on fire because this is fantastic song with typical Stryper harmonies and hooks. It’s Real is a cracker filled with brilliant hooklines and the chorus is fantastic in the best Dokken style. Cross The Line is a straight in your-face rocker with strong riffs. Red, White And Blue brings Dokken on the map again with riff strong guitars and a great chorus. One Way Or The Other is a powerful rocker with strong melodies, pounding drums and a Stryper sounding chorus. Eonian Records has remastered this digitally and put in great line notes about Legacy and their story. Doug Meacham, Matt Rice, Fred Blanchard, John D. Rice and John Jenkins could have been named together with the other Christian bands like Stryper, Shout, Petra, Whiteheart and more if this would have been released 20 years ago. But now you get a chance to hear their never released album in a nice package. So if your into those mentioned band then check out Legacy.

Did you know that?

The name "Minus the Bear" comes from an in-joke among the band members, referring to the 70´s television program, B. J. and the Bear. "A friend of the band had gone on a date,” explains singer-guitarist Jake Snider, "and one of us asked him afterwards how the date went. Our friend said, ´You know that TV show from the ´70s B.J. and The Bear? It was like that... minus The Bear.´ That’s the straight truth."
