Warrant

Warrant is an American rock band that rose to prominence in the late 1980s and early 1990s with their brand of glam metal and hard rock. Formed in 1984 in Hollywood, California, the band's classic lineup consisted of Jani Lane on vocals, Joey Allen and Erik Turner on guitars, Jerry Dixon on bass, and Steven Sweet on drums. They achieved significant commercial success with their 1989 debut album "Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich," which spawned hits like "Heaven" and "Down Boys."

The band's follow-up album, "Cherry Pie," released in 1990, catapulted them to even greater fame, largely thanks to the title track's catchy riff and memorable music video. Warrant's style epitomized the hair metal sound and aesthetic, marked by anthemic choruses, big guitar solos, and slick production. Over the years, despite lineup changes and the shifting musical landscape, Warrant continued to record and tour. Albums like "Dog Eat Dog" (1992) and "Born Again" (2006) showed the band's versatility and ability to adapt to changing rock trends, while their 2017 release "Louder Harder Faster" confirmed their dedication to their signature hard-hitting style. The passing of the original singer Jani Lane in 2011 marked a sad chapter in the band's history, but Warrant endures, celebrating their legacy and continuing to rock audiences around the world.
