They released a self-titled album in 1996 as well as a single for the track "One Like a Son" that included two remixes by Eric Caudieux and Stan Katayama.
All bass parts were played by Pitrelli, who also recorded keyboards.
Stephen Pearcy currently has rejoined Ratt and Robbie Crane with Black Star Riders.
Hiro Kuretani went on to become an electronic music (progressive breaks) producer.
