Information/Write-up
Adrenalin was a Toronto, Ontario melodic hard rock / AOR band active in the 1990s, built around former Rapid Tears guitarists Michael J. Miller and Clayton Bonin. Their lone known release, Dedicated (1995), appeared on Germany’s Long Island Records, making it a notable foreign pressing from a Canadian band whose polished sound leaned into melodic hard rock, radio-ready hooks, and a more streamlined direction than the heavier attack of Rapid Tears. Fronted by Mark Konnors and completed by Greg Linton, Rick Vatour, and Matt Horner, the group stands as a later chapter in the careers of Miller and Bonin, and an overlooked Toronto hard rock release that never received a proper Canadian issue.
