Sherbs - Defying Gravity [Clear Pink & Deep Purple Splatter]

Step into the colorful soundscape of The Sherbs' Defying Gravity, the band's ambitious 1981 second album freshly pressed on clear pink vinyl with mesmerizing deep purple splatter.

While this gem might not have carved out chart-topping hits in the US or Australia, it pulsates with an energy that demands attention, notably through the AOR mid-tempo delight of "We Ride Tonight," which glided to No. 26 on Billboard's Rock Tracks Chart. 

Defying Gravity captures the essence of a band at a transitional phase, navigating through shifting musical landscapes while still delivering rich harmonies and melodic sophistication. Despite the lukewarm reception, the album showcases The Sherbs' prowess in crafting vibrant rock anthems, even as they faced the dilemma of being perceived as remnants of the 1970s. It’s an intriguing snapshot, especially given that band members believed their songwriting had matured remarkably during this period.

This special vinyl edition not only serves as a treasure trove for collectors but also includes bonus cuts from Shaping Up, their critically received mini-album that contains two budding hits in Australia. Celebrate the legacy of The Sherbs and enjoy the sonic experience they poured their hearts into; Defying Gravity is a testament to their unyielding creative spirit. Adding this limited-colored vinyl to your collection feels like striking the right chord for both nostalgia and modern rock appreciation.
