Point Blank - Second Season 8-track tape
Point Blank is an American rock and roll band hailing from Texas. The band formed in 1974 and recorded six albums between 1976 and 1982. Garnering occasional airplay on AOR radio stations, the band is best known for their 1981 hit single "Nicole".
The band was discovered and managed by Bill Ham's Lone Wolf Productions (ZZ Top, Eric Johnson). Point Blank's sound is rooted in southern rock and boogie, but drifted towards hard rock and mainstream AOR by the early 1980s. In 1981 they released their fourth album, American Exce$$, which included the song "Nicole". With strong air-play on AOR radio stations the track reached #20 on Billboard Magazine's Rock Tracks chart. Subsequently, "Nicole" was also released as a 45 RPM single and peaked inside the Top 40, at #39 on Billboard's Hot 100. In their heyday, they were known for their relentless touring, sometimes playing more than 200 shows per year. In 1982 the band broke up.
The band's core members reunited for a benefit concert in 2005. After that, they continued touring and in late 2009, Point Blank released their first studio album in 27 years: Fight On!. Bassist Phillip Petty died from cancer on June 7, 2010. Guitarist Kim Davis died October 18, 2010 (born October 6, 1952).
