We talk to Stevie Rachelle - Singer and Frontman of Sunset Strip legends TUFF, founder of the Metal Sludge Website and Glam Rock Entrepreneur. Thirty years on from the release of the TUFF album 'What Comes Around Goes Around', Stevie takes us back to his early encounters on the Sunset Strip and making a name for himself and his band. We talk about the importance of building a brand and being as professional as any major label act even if you're still working your way through the ranks of the music underground. We talk about the challenges faced once a band signs their illusive record deal and TUFF's very first visit to the UK as a signed band living out their dreams.
