You have asked and we have delivered!!
Twenty-five years and FINALLY - the MERRI HOAXX CD is now available!!
Joel Ellis and Demon Doll Records are proud to present one of the greatest underground Hair Metal bands with their first CD release ever!!
The nine-song effort 'Never Jokes' was well worth the wait as the band slays the genre with big hooks that will leave you speechless. Pulled straight from the Atlantic Records sessions from 1986, this is as genuine and rare as it gets!! This band should have been huge, and when you hear the first single, "The Last Days Of Autumn," we think you will agree. Undoubtedly, if this had somehow found its way to MTV, it would have been spinning right alongside Dokken, Ratt, and the Crue!
Jam-packed with scorching guitars from Denny Holan and the ferocious signature of Joel Ellis' vocals, screams, and obstinate gyrations, the songs on the disc aim to please. One spin and you'll be hooked! From the opener "Talkin' To Myself" through the hits "Let It Go", "Radio", and "Just For Ol' Times Sake" to the excellent album closer "I'm Ready" - Merri Hoaxx deliver a masterpiece (which also includes the lyrics and a band biography written by Joel Ellis himself).
For those who have never heard Merri Hoaxx, we STRONGLY RECOMMEND you check this out and get your hands on a copy immediately! There was a little magic in the air in 1987, and somewhere between Bon Jovi and Whitesnake, Merri Hoaxx will finally find their deserving spot in history, and we could not be more proud to present it to you.
This CD is silver pressed, officially licensed from Joel Ellis, and is exclusively available at Demon Doll Records.
This album is dedicated to the late great guitar hero - Denny Holan - may you rest in peace, and thank you for creating such amazing music for all of us to enjoy finally!
