Shoeshine Johnny - by Guardian

Early 90's rock/metal band.  Enjoy.  :)
Guardian had its beginnings as far back as 1982 in Santa Ana, CA.  Originally named Fusion, they grew & was noticed by Enigma Records.  They were signed in '85 & added guitarist Tony Palacios in '86.  They recorded their first 'official' LP "First Watch", & it was released in '89 (they did lots of touring for the years before…)(& as other trivia, that was produced by Oz Fox, who also did Stryper…).  A lineup (featuring only the bassist, David Bach, from the original lineup), a new label (Pakaderm), then a new album ("Fire & Love", '91).  After releasing 4 more albums + 3 Spanish albums, they broke up in 2001.  They regrouped occasionally, but in 2009, they announced that they were officially getting together now (also seemingly with a new moniker, House of Guardian); they also released an EP in 2009.  This song is from their 1993 album "Miracle Mile".
