Profile Private CCM AOR from Xara, a St. Louis, Missouri based outfit that worth your attention. Their self-titled debut album released in 1990 in Sugar Records only in Cassette in very limited copies, featuring session bassist Joey Canaday. Superb stuff with nice songwriting and stellar musicianship in the vein of Petra, Fighter, Night Ranger, Van Halen and anything released by John and Dino Elefante. Very rare nowdays.
