MelodicRock Classics jumps back to 1989 and teams up with classic melodic pomp rock outfit GOTHAM to release their very obscure, but very special, cassette only released one-off album 'Home Sweet Home'. This album has deserved the remaster treatment for years and the audio for this release is straight off the original master tapes. The release has been re-titled 'Pictures' and adds 3 tracks from the band's days as Manito Park. Formed in the heart of Spokane, Washington, Gotham began as a trio of passionate musicians eager to leave their mark on the Pacific Northwest music scene. Lead vocalist and keyboardist Dave DuPree, vocalist and bass player Cary Beare, and vocalist and guitarist Bob Burdett first made their presence known in the small bars and resorts of Eastern Washington and North Idaho, creating a sound that resonated with both the rugged outdoors and the vibrant, gritty energy of the local scene. In 1989, with the addition of drummer Rusty Knorr, the band transformed into the powerhouse unit that would go on to record their debut cassette release, Home Sweet Home. This bold new era for Gotham was defined by a fresh direction in sound, blending rock, pop, soulful melodies and flawless vocal harmonies into an unforgettable mix that captured the spirit of a generation. From Spokane's underground venues to the very heart of the Pacific Northwest music culture, Gotham's raw energy, unforgettable hooks, and honest lyrics continue to echo through the ages. Their journey was one of persistence, a passion for live gigging, and a love for creating music. Better days, indeed.
