American Angel

American Angel is a hard rock/glam metal band from Ocean City, New Jersey, USA, that was formed in 1987. It all started back in the late 80's, when vocalist Rocco Fury put together and created the sound we now know as American Angel. In 1989, their first full length release, self-titled "American Angel", put the band on the map. The band made a video for their first single titled, "How Can I Miss You", which was featured on MTV's Headbangers Ball. Then in 1990, after touring North America, they ran into a problem with their record company, Grudge Records, and received no label support at all. When they returned from the tour, the record company had vanished from the industry and American Angel was left on their own. That didn't stop Rocco and the crew, they continued on and put out a second album, "EP 92", in February of 1992. At the time, the music scene was changing and alternative rock was on the rise. Eventually, the band went their separate ways and American Angel was no longer. In 1998 lead vocalist Rocco Fury released one more album titled, "Archives", a collection of previously unreleased material, demos, and remastered tracks. American Angel rose again in 2007 with a new lineup. They released Vanity as well as a Christmas EP which stayed true to the signature, unique, American Angel sound. They currently play live with a revolving lineup.
