Profile Clinton, Iowa based trio Hyper release this album back in 1985 privately in extremely limited copies with songs varies between hard rock and metal, featuring superlative guitar and drumming. Lots of talent, good production and arrangements, a good find for your collection in the vein of Kingsuite and Grey C. Allen. In 1995 the band released “The Happy Bottom Riding Club” having old and new recordings while the song “Ride the Pony” played in the movie “The Ice Harvest”.
