After leaving King Kobra, and prior to forming Unruly Child, vocalist Mark Free was involved in the California AOR/melodic rock band Signal, whose sound was the perfect blend of classic AOR artists like Journey and Survivor and newer acts Bad English and Damn Yankees. Signal's 1989 debut Loud & Clear is an album that, given the musical climate in the late 80's, really should have sold about a billion copies. Think of the really huge AOR acts at that time - Bon Jovi, Bad English, Damn Yankees, and Bad Company - and the albums they were releasing.
