A-440

Basically a vehicle for the songwriting talents of Nick Brown (guitar), A=440 produced an album of well-defined and focused US radio rock. Tom LaVerdi's smooth vocal style was backed by a smooth AOR sound, provided by Tom Walsh (drums), Rich Ruttenberg (keyboards) and Matt Bissonette (bass). Following their disintegration, LaVerdi linked with ex-Thin Lizzy guitarist Scott Gorham in 21 Guns to record 1992's Salute, while Bissonette went on to play with David Lee Roth's band.
