Very good melodic hard rock band from New Jersey. And the story goes, if in the early days, they had fired female bassist Irene Wohlman, they'd have got signed.
As history shows, they did not give her "the elbow" (good on them, I say), and decided to self finance their debut "Americas New Design", selling 20,000 copies of CD/cassette, with minimal distribution.
Understandably disgusted with the music industry, in 1991, Fiamingo left the group, and nothing was heard from them until 1995's "Simple".
In he same year, "Design" was reissued by Long Island Records, where it seems that, fuel was added to the fire, and once again a label would be responsible for confirming a bands attitude to the music industry.
Such a shame really; nobody should be treated in such a way, even more so with Xenon, who were a tight unit, and could of had the world at their feet, if they hadn't been the victims of circumstance.
A fantastic band folks, Xenon had a star in frontman Joey Fiamingo, who was similar to Velocitys, David Victor, and the guitarwork of Specht is excellent.
Both albums are worthwhile, with "Simple" a little more modern (for the time), and if you can find it, theres also and ep available, entitled "Defying Gravity".
