With Christenson on lead vocals and Nevens on guitars and occasional keyboards, they spent the first few years touring the Pennsylvania area and recording original compositions on a 4-track recorder. Then, in 1985, they were signed to Columbia Records and in 1986, released Tyranny, their first and only album.
The guitar and synth-laced album followed in the style of other 1980s bands such as a-ha, Duran Duran, Tears for Fears and Mr. Mister. The first single from Tyranny was "One Simple Thing," which peaked at number 21 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and number 93 on the Billboard Hot 100, helped by the band's performance of the song on American Bandstand. Two music videos were released to promote the album: "One Simple Thing", which was directed by David Fincher who would go onto greater success directing the feature films Alien³, Se7en and Fight Club and "Tyranny," helmed by renowned music video director David Hogan.
The "Tyranny" single failed to chart, and for the next five years, the band disappeared from view. Then, in 1991, an unreleased track from the Tyranny sessions, "Maybe This Time," surfaced on the soundtrack to the film If Looks Could Kill, but that was the last anyone would hear from the band.
Years active: 1981–1991.

One of the very best how to install, no frills, no extra commentary, fantastic demonstration, and you did not film yourself doing each and every wing nut. GREAT! I really appreciated it.

Just to point out, I've heard that there are different types of stabilizers for different ladders (e.g. fiberglass ladders take a different type of stabilizer than an aluminum one). Just make sure you get the right type for your ladder.

Thank you. That was a great demo. And appreciated!! :)

It does work with the MT-22 ladder. Werner sells the stabilizer as model # AC96 for $22 at Home Depot.

You are suppose to have the top of the ladder extended above the roof edge so you have something to grab when getting on and off the ladder.
