Overview
In the first half of 1989, still riding high on the multi platinum success of Pride, White Lion re-entered the studio following the completion of their Pride tour to record the next album, a decision the group later came to regret due to the effects of fatigue from the heavy touring. A musically eclectic follow-up to Pride, the album featured the single "Little Fighter", in Memory of The Rainbow Warrior, a Greenpeace boat which was intentionally sabotaged and sunk by the French Secret Service while docked in an Auckland harbour, New Zealand in 1985 and served as the inspiration for the Steven Seagal film On Deadly Ground. In 1989, a fundraising double album was released entitled "Greenpeace Rainbow Warriors".[4] [5] [6]
A cover of Golden Earring's "Radar Love" was released as the second single, followed by "Cry for Freedom" a political song about apartheid in South Africa and was one of many songs from the band that addressed social or political issues such as uprising to oppression.[7] "Goin' Home Tonight" was also released as a single.
All of the singles featured music videos and the album quickly went gold,[8] peaking at #19 on the US album charts and charting very well around the world. Following the album's release the band continued touring.
