Album Notes & Community Reviews

Honing their ferocious Texas boogie sound, Point Blank steers 'Airplay' toward a slightly more polished, radio-friendly AOR direction. The album retains the blistering dual-guitar attack of their earlier work while introducing punchier, highly melodic vocal hooks. It captures a relentless touring band successfully adapting to the commercial demands of the late-seventies arena rock market.
