Signs of Life

Billy Squier

A high-gloss collision of massive arena drums and sleek 1984 synthesizers. Squier trades raw blues-rock for a cinematic, neon-drenched pop-rock spectacle.

It's the ultimate 1984 rock record where the guitars are sharp but the synths are louder.

A high-stakes mixture of stadium-sized confidence and late-night urban anxiety.
