Roadhouse were a British rock band that were signed to Mercury Records, and included former Def Leppard members Pete Willis[1] and Frank Noon.[2] According to the band's website, the band recorded a four song demo with Noon as their drummer. However, Noon was no longer in Roadhouse by the time of the recording of their debut album. Roadhouse released their self-titled album in August 1991.[1] The album is often referred to as On a Desert Road, a reference to a line in the song "Time". Several singles and videos were released from the album, with the album charting at No. 26[where?] and two of the singles in the top ten,[which?] there are also B-sides that are not on the album. The band toured in support of Ian Gillan/No Sweat/Saxon/Two Tribes and recorded four videos for MTV. The single "Hell Can Wait" reached number 9 in the UK Rock Chart, and the single "Tower of Love" was used in the film Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man.[citation needed]
