Whoever submitted this must be from the Cleveland, OH area because I don't think this band ever broke nationally. I've never seen it on CD even though I'd like to hear it again. All I remember is the songs "American Noise" and "Anyone With A Heart" which were pretty good but apparently the rest of the album was forgettable.

Runnin' Through the Night and I Got a Fix on You were good too. Tommy later wrote a song called Statutory Sue that was pretty good. Craig used to embarass the hell out of Tommy by announcing that the song was really Statutory Stu. (Used to embarass me too. I'd just kind of hide behind my mixing console. :-)

Poppy yet melodic. This is a pleasant reminder of what AOR was about back then. Very classy and very well done. I admit they really didn't break nationally as they should have, yet it doesn't make it a bad album. In fact, it's quite good and worth tracking down.

anyone else notice that American Noise's "anyone with a heart" song sounds ALOT like the Kevin Raleigh song of the same name?? this American Noise album is excellent, i transferred my LP to CD and have a nice clean copy of it if anyone is interested.

From: Axe-Machine	Date: February 7, 2005 at 10:29
Yeah I'm interested in a copy. Not heard this one but looks like it could be worth hearing. Post your email address next time you are here so we can get in contact! Thanks.

This is one of those rare albums, where every song on it was good.I don't know if it was ever released as a CD. I have been searching for the album or CD if they still exist. I recorded a friends record way back when & it is about wore out.

From: r dillon	Date: April 20, 2005 at 7:27

From: rick_l	Date: June 6, 2005 at 8:57
I agree most songs on this album were good... Hoping Recordjnky will leave his email address so all we can obtain the CD he created.

From: cakask	Date: November 9, 2005 at 18:07

VAYA, QUE TENEMOS AQUI!! LOS AMERICAN NOISE!! compre este disco atraido por algunas criticas que decian que era un basico del aor de los primeros 80īs ,pero a medida que iba pasando los cortes era mayor mi desengaņo,solo se salvava 1!!!. el resto era como una mezcla de pop,power rock...en fin, tu mismo

Being from Cleveland, I grew up with my cousins playing this album and have loved it ever since. Even burned it to my hard drive and listen to it when I surf. Kevin Raleigh recorded Anyone with a Heart on his solo album and credited Craig Balzer and Kim Fowley. Drummer Tommy Rich played on alot of Donnie Iris songs and is really a phenominal drummer. George Sipl played before American Noise with Eric Carmen. This is an album that, like anything from the Artful Dodger (original), everyone should

I am looking for a CD of this album. I believe Recordjnky said he created a CD from an LP. Does anyone have a copy of this on CD or know where I can get one? I have searched Ebay and Amazon and am unable to find anything. Sodapopcop47...I live in Old Brooklyn...would you be adverse to e-mailing me what you burned at cwd_waterboy@sbcglobal.net? Or if you can't do that, maybe you could burn a CD for me & snail mail it to me??

This is one of those great albums that very few people know about! It is a great example of the unique, under-rated music scene that was going on in Northeast Ohio in the late '70s and early '80s. This group was tight and had a great sound. There was a core group of 10 of us in high school who passed this album around and we all loved it! We were always surprised that they never made it. I would love to find this on tape or CD someday and revisit the memories!

From: jrmiller25	Date: November 26, 2006 at 23:27
Can anyone please tell me where I can find this album on CD. My bestfried loves this band and I would love to get one for a memorable Christmas gift. Email jrmiller16@aol.com if you know where I can get a copy of this album on CD or hard copy and maybe I can convert. Thanks to ALL!!!!

From: wcgurley	Date: July 11, 2007 at 16:00
Can anyone tell me where to locate a copy of this LP. I found a 3-track promotional disc in Germany and I would really like to locate the entire LP.

From: jackswax	Date: January 5, 2008 at 21:05
Love this album, and yes I'm from Cleveland. I have been searching for single from never released sophomore effort. Statutory Sue. Can anyone help? Stu?

From: izzizman	Date: January 19, 2008 at 14:13
Another Clevelander from that era and just reliving those days and this album was VERY good...(Artful Dodger days, Breathless, Beau Coup...all great bands that never got the recognition). Anyway, Can't seem to find mp3's anything on it...any help on a CD, etc appreciated..izzizman@gmail.com.

From: kosar19	Date: January 19, 2010 at 19:59

Hey guys. I bought this computer from a friend and when I started using it I found a HUGE amount of bands/songs to try. He said "they are yours now". One of the bands/albums was THIS one. I have it on MP3's in 192kbps form. If anyone is interested let me know and I can send you the mp3 files for you to hear. Just thought I'd throw that out there. KEEP ROCKIN'!
