Playing homage to AC/DC, Johnny Crash joined the ranks of bands such as Rhino Bucket and Dirty Looks in bringing three chord rock to fans worldwide. The band wasn't flashy, but played uncompromising hard rock that would have made Bon Scott proud. In late 1985 vocalist Vicki James Wright, who had been the front man on two Tokyo Blade albums, left England for the bright lights of Los Angeles. It was there that Wright crossed paths with guitarist Christopher Stewart.
