Listen Later

Eye Eye is a fantastic Canadian hi-tech AOR, new wave group that should not be an oversight for any AOR fan. The Duo Of Andy Ryan and Bill Wood played an important part in the band's musical direction and song writing. Catchy lyrics you want to dance to, great production, instruments and vocals are shining examples of this amazing release. This band had tremendous initial success with two finals appearances on CBC's Rock Wars and Much Music's Talent Search. Tracks such as "Out On A Limb" and "X-Ray eyes" were successful mid 50's charting tracks placing in the top RPM 100 charts in Canada and garning enough airplay touring with Glass Tiger and Platinum Blonde as an opening act help propel their initial release to number 87 on the RPM charts in 1986. A subsequent album was released in 1988 which the song "Endless Night" charted on the Canadian RPM charts in the mid 50's for several weeks. Eye Eye also has a film credit with the song "Essence Of You" being featured in the film Friday The 13th VII "The New Blood". A fantastic Canadian AOR Group in the likeness of Glass Tiger and Platinum Blonde. Check these guys out! Fantastic release.
