The band's first single, power ballad "I've Got a Lot to Learn About Love", peaked at #6 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and #26 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The previous year, the label — founded by Iovine (a producer, who began his career as a sound engineer for John Lennon and Bruce Springsteen) and Hill (noted for his success producing the hard rock bands Ratt and Winger) as a rock label — had struck a deal to distribute releases by Death Row Records.
Hits by Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg convinced the label to shift its focus from mainstream rock to gangsta rap.
Eye of the Storm was eventually issued by the UK independent label Music for Nations in Europe, Avex Trax (Bareknuckle) in Japan and Miramar Records in the US.
Wikso went on to play with David Lee Roth, Foreigner, Richie Sambora, Gregg Rolie, Eddie Money, Creedence Clearwater Revisited and the Steve Miller Band, among others.
