Background

[edit]

Nighstreet was issued on 18 August 1991 by Australian hard rock band, Roxus.[1] They had formed in Melbourne in 1987 and by April 1991 had the line-up of Darren Danielson on drums, John "Stones" Nixon on bass guitar, Juno Roxas on lead vocals, Andy Shanahan on keyboards and Dragan Stanić on guitar.[1] The album was produced by Mark Opitz for Melodian.[1] According to Australian musicologist, Ian McFarlane, "[it] mixed Warrant/Bryan Adams-like soft metal raunch ('Bad Boys', 'Rock'n'Roll Nights') with lush power ballads ('Where are You Now?', 'This Time')."[1] Nightstreet provided three singles, "Where Are You Now?" (April 1991), "Bad Boys" (July) and Jimi G (September 1991).[1]
