Formed in 1988, Pistol Dawn had been touring the earth since they were conceived.  They had a natural appeal to with the young ladies due to their dirty power pop songs with a heavy sleaze factor stage presence.  They always took care of their fans, and consistently delivered a high energy rock show.

Definitely not for the faint hearted, these boys were loud, proud, and got around. The entire band spent their lives writing, recording, and touring the globe, with such acts as Cheap Trick, Dangerous Toys, Enuff Z'Nuff and Lillian Axe, to name a few. All members hailed from the Midwest, and pulled their own weight, with blazing solos from Scotti Ryan, combined with their harmony hooked vocals, the band was often featured on Chicago's best rock radio.

Pistol Dawn recorded two EP's "Shot in the Act" Produced by Chip Z'Nuff, recorded at Star Trax Studios in Chicago, and "Hard Way" recorded at Miami Street Studios.  The songs, "Message in a Bottle" and "Dreams Come True" sat on top of the WIRX top requested songs since their arrival. "Do yourself a favor and check this band out, you won't be disappointed." (Nick Monoyios - Illinois Entertainer, Editor)
