"Rocket To Your Heart" by Danger Danger

Danger Danger was a second-tier hairband that almost broke into the top 40 with their song, "Bang Bang". The catchy tune went to #49 in 1990 and helped get the band's self-titled debut album to #88. It is kind of surprising this album wasn't mined for additional hits to increase Danger Danger's profile up to their better-known counterparts like Firehouse or Slaughter. "Don't Walk Away" and "Feels Like Love" are just a couple examples of missed opportunities.

In the 90s, the band underwent numerous line-up changes, including departure of their lead singer Ted Poley. Fast forward to 2009 and Ted Poley reunites with Danger Danger to record their seventh (!) studio album, "Revolve". The band makes a laudable effort to update their sound, and "Rocket To Your Heart" is just one of several stand out tracks on this record. It failed to chart in the US, but did hit the charts in Japan.
