Face to Face – Confrontation

Everything I just said about Face to Face’s eponymous debut album? Ditto for 1985’s “Confrontation.” Ditto for fun, ditto for power rock with great female vocals, ditto for “I played this in the ’80s and never put it on my turntable again.”

Yet, as I sit here listening to this disc for the first time perhaps in decades, I still kinda know every word. This is exactly what it should be for a mid-’80s synthrocker with horns, and sometimes that’s exactly what you want to hear.

1985. When you wear that much makeup and hair product, you gotta look tough.

Confrontation Epic label – interesting that this release didn’t claim the trademark after the band’s name.
