Used to own this album on tape. Watched The Accused and heared that voice and remembered the song. Had to research the band name. But when found remembered the words to all the songs. Have to purchase the album right now. Fantastic flashbacks!!! Loving every song!!

to review this excellent but underrated disc. Middle of Nowhere & Just to Dream shoulda been big hits, hell all the songs are good. Gina Schock (of the Go-Go's) & Vance Degeneres (yes Ellen's Brother) have crafted a great pop record, too bad the record company messed with it up by adding oh-so-80's syths. Still worth checking out.

Gina Schock's first and only solo CD. Best known for her work as the drummer in the Go-Go's, in 1988 Gina formed her own band with Vance DeGeneres (Ellen's Brother). Together they wrote the entire album. Songs like Middle of Nowhere and Never Be Enough should have been hits. When I listen to 'This Time' Gina seems to speak of the Go-Go's break-up- ie 'This Time no one else decides for me, This Time'.

Any one of these songs could have been recorded by the Go-Go's. It is all rock-pop. In an interview to support the record, Gina noted she was 'No Whitney Houston', but she carries the record superbly. A must have for any Go-Go's fan.

The first time I heard House Of Schock I thought they were a great band featuring my favorite go-go Gina Schock she has an excellent voice my favorite song from the album where of course Middle Of Nowhere and the video was awesome too bad they never released any other albums I would have totally bought them.
