Biography

There are 3 artists that are called Hurricane.

1) a hair metal band formed in the mid-80’s featuring Robert Sarzo (guitar), Tony Cavazo (bass), Kelly Hansen (vocals), and Jay Schellen (drums).

Quiet Riot’s Kevin Dubrow introduced Robert Sarzo and Tony Cavazo (brothers of Quiet Riot members Rudy Sarzo and Carlos Cavazo) in the early 80s. After deciding to form a band, Sarzo and Cavazo recruited singer Kelly Hansen and drummer Jay Schellen. With little label interest, the band decided to release a mini-album themselves, Take What You Want. The album and constant touring led to them getting a major label deal.

Hurricane had four albums. Take What You Want (1985), Over The Edge (1988), Slave To The Thrill (1990), and Liquifury (2001). Over The Edge was their most successful album featuring their only top 40 hit, “I’m On To You.” In 1989 Sarzo left the group and was replaced by ex Lion guitarist, Doug Aldrich. This lineup recorded one album before Aldrich moved on to House Of Lords and the rest of the group quickly disintegrated with the onslaught of grunge. Schellen recorded with both Unruly Child and Sircle Of Silence while Hansen did a considerable amount of session work. Schellen suggested that Hansen help with the recording of Unruly Child’s second release, and shortly after they agreed to resurrect Hurricane. Sean Manning (guitar), Carlos Villalobos (guitar) and Larry Antonino (bass) rounded out the new version of the band, and they released Liquifury.

Hansen now sings in the band Foreigner .

    Now it's clear to me, why they are so similar to Foreigner

    I listened to "Baby Snakes" hoping that it was some sort of 80's metal homage to Zappa. Instead, it was fake answering machine messages with cheesy metal in the background. I've lost all respect for this band now.

    For those who don't know, Kelly Hanson (lead singer) is now the front man for Foreigner. Their new stuff with Kelly singing is awesome!

    Liquifury, The 2001 comeback album for L.A. based hair metal band that released three albums for Enigma between 1986 & 1990. With the song River Gold which references previous Hurricane recordings. Is perhaps my favorite from them.
