The Past It all started back in the late 80's, vocalist Rocco Fury, Petey D., Danny Monchek, Steve Evetts and Eric "Cutter" Nila got together and created the sound we now know as American Angel. In 1989, they were approached by several record companies and ended up signing with Grudge Records. Their first 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 the record company and received no label support at all. The problem was that when they returned from the tour and the record company was gone, it just vanished from the industry and American Angel was left on their own. That didn't stop Rocco and crew, they continued on and put out a second album, "EP 92", in Febuary of 1992. At the time, the music scene was changing and alternitive rock was becoming popular and eventually the band went their seperate ways and American Angel was no longer. In 1998 lead vocalist Rocco Fury released one more album after that titled, "ARCHIVES", a collection of some of the songs from the first two albums and some previously unreleased
material.
The Present
In 2004, 15 years after their debut, Rocco Fury has recreated American Angel with four new stellar musicians. Now they are back to pick up where American Angel left off. Although, members of the band have changed, they still have the heart and drive of the orginal band and Rocco still sounds just like the way you remember him.
June 2007, American Angel releases their fourth CD titled "Vanity", on Chavis Records. If you love the old stuff, you will love these new tunes, just check out our blog section to see what the critics are saying. American Angel is planning a North American tour and they are going to be playing all the old favorites that you grew up on and some new ones as well. So come on out and show your support for the band, drink some beers and have a good time.
The Future
August 2012, already on their 3rd CD release since being recreated back in 2004, American Angel tours the world, headlining shows with their opening acts Bon Jovi and Skid Row. They want to help the world feel just a little bit better through their music and interpretive dance, ok maybe not the dancing part.
