Glitzine Magazine Review of
Johnny Crash - Neighbourhood Threat

I believe it was around Christmas 1990 that I first heard Johnny Crash. Back then MTV actually played good 
music (yes, it's true!) and it was there I first met these LA sleaze rockers. It was love at first sight. 
"Neighbourhood Threat" is classy sleaze, coming across like a poppier AC/DC. Snarling vocalist Vicki James was 
formerly with Tokyo Blade but this is the release where he really shines.

First song "Hey Kid" is excellent sleaze pop, this should've been a hit! "No Bones About It", "Axe To The Wax" 
and my favourite " All The Way In", are all nice pieces of sleaze which will make old Bon Scott smile in his grave.

"Thrill Of The Kill" is more bluesy and a lot slower, necessary to get a a chance to breath. "Crack Of Dawn" is 
another b song in the vein of Cinderella. The rest of the album is not as good, "Freedom Road" reminds me of early 
Whitesnake and "Halfway To Heaven" could be ZZ top if they were raised in LA.

Like all the great glam/sleaze bands in the late eighties/early nineties Johnny Crash suffered from a change in 
the musical climate. This was their one and only chance to stardom, they world didn't let them take it. Too bad
