Wake Me When It's Over by Faster Pussycat
Wake Me When It's Over is an album by Faster Pussycat, released in 1989. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “House of Pain”, on 2 lists with a best position of #180.
Wake Me When It's Over, Faster Pussycat's second album, came out on Elektra in 1989, and it's the Los Angeles glam gang trading some of the hairspray for a shot of the blues. Taime Downe snarls up front, with Greg Steele and Brent Muscat on guitars and Eric Stacy in the ranks, and the riffs lean dirtier and bluesier than the glam-metal sparkle of their debut.
"Poison Ivy" and "House of Pain" both got videos, and the latter was the big one: a young Michael Bay directed the clip, MTV kept it in rotation and the song climbed to number 28 on the Hot 100. The album went gold.
