The Sherbs - Defying Gravity [2LP] Deep Purple

Defying Gravity, released in 1981, was the second album from The Sherbs, marking a sharp and polished turn from their earlier Sherbet sound. Built on tight musicianship and melodic hooks, it found its footing on U.S. rock radio with “We Ride Tonight,” which spent 16 weeks on Billboard’s Rock Tracks chart and peaked at #26 in June of 1982. The album flows between sleek AOR, power pop, and atmospheric rock moments showing a band confidently adapting to a new decade without losing their sense of craft.
