DEACON STREET was the tag given by TOMMY DENANDER and Chris Demming of AOR and SPIN GALLERY to issue a collection of tracks written for other artists but surplus to requirements. Denander has a wealth of credits on the Scandinavian Rock scene including A.T.C., EARTHQUAKE, MORPHEUS, UNANIMATED, RAINMAKER, RADIOACTIVE, SPEEDY GONZALES and PRISONER.
