There is more than one artist with this name :

1) Warrant is a hard rock band from Los Angeles, California which enjoyed its greatest success in 1990 with the single and album “Cherry Pie”.

It is the music created during the 1980s and early 1990s which remains the band’s signature. The band’s brand of heavy metal was loud, cheesy, sex-obsessed, and usually delivered with a mischievous sense of humour. The generally lighthearted band became known for raucous party anthems filled with thinly-veiled references to sex (“Down Boys”, “Cherry Pie”) but also for sentimental, melodic ballads (“Heaven”, “Sometimes She Cries”, “I Saw Red”).

In January 1988 Warrant signed a contract with Columbia Records, and released their debut album “Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich”.

The band’s second record, Cherry Pie, was released in March 1990, and spawned the hits “Cherry Pie”, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” and “I Saw Red”. It reached the Top Ten in the United States, and went on to sell 3 million copies.

In 1992, Warrant released “Dog Eat Dog”. The record, an attempt by the band to evolve in the face of changing musical trends, received critical acclaim but achieved only moderate commercial success.

After this, the band would begin a long string of member changes, including even singer Jani Lane leaving the band briefly.

He would then return to release “Ultraphobic” in 1995, and “Belly to Belly, Vol. 1” in 1998. These were released on a smaller label, as well as featured a new darker sound. Neither album would remotely come close to the success of the earlier albums. A live album, an album of re-recorded classic tracks, as well as an all-covers disc “Under the Influence” followed these.
