Surgical Steel's 2nd studio release "Crank It Up!" features the 2 songs ("Gimme Back My Heart" and "Surrender") that were featured in the movie "Thunder Alley" (which the band also made a theatrical appearance in). The album also features Rob Halford (JUDAS PRIEST, FIGHT) on backing vocals on 2 songs ("Hotwire" and "You Were There"). The album features arguably the 2 most melodic songs on it, starting off with the title track "Crank It Up!" and "Tonight". The songs "Power To Rock" and "Rock And Women" and reminiscent to many tracks off the JUDAS PRIEST album "Turbo". JUDAS PRIEST would actually record a song on the "Turbo" album about their times hanging out with the guys in SURGICAL STEEL at the club 'Rockers" with their song "Wild Nights, Hot Crazy Days". The band would go on and record several more demos with Jeff Martin on vocals (coming out later through Metallic Blue Records), before Jeff would depart to join Pual Gilbert (MR. BIG) to form RACER X. SURGICAL STEEL would recruit vocalist Derek Kendal who was previously in the band HOOKER with Scott Travis (HAWK, RACER X, JUDAS PRIEST). They also recruited Rik Fox (W.A.S.P., STEELER, SIN) on bass. The band would have a few lineup changes with Derek on vocals, where they would record several more songs (also coming soon from Metallic Blue Records), including recordings with the last lineup featuring MEGATTACK guitarist Parrish Hultquist.
