Oho - Rocktronics (1984)

Oho - Rocktronics 


 Oho were a 70's eclectic rock band from Baltimore that reformed back in early 80's and released this great prog-pop album called "Rocktronics".      

  Musically fans of Canada's "FM" and "Saga" will love this album with their catchy pop melodies and their art rock touches.  

   Line up on this album includes originating members Jay Gabroski (guitars, keyboards, vocals) and  David Reeve (drums, keyboards, vocals)  with the new introduction of Gyro (Lead Vocals), Mark O'Connor (keys) and Mike Kearney (bass) .    

 Musically this album blends 80's production with power pop and art rock tendencies......The Knack meets Blondie (minus Debbie Harry) meets The Cars meets Fleetwood Mac meets Saga!.....all in one album.

I first heard OHO back in 1998 when Progression Magazine included a free OHO CD called "Ecce OHO" containing rare and unreleased music from their early years.
