Autograph

Autograph was an American Hard Rock Band led by lead singer Steve Plunkett.

The group was first formed in Los Angeles in 1983.

They are best known for their One-Hit Wonder, the 1984 song “Turn up the Radio” which peaked at #29 on the Billboard Top-40 Charts.

That single, and one other single, “Blondes in Black Cars” charted in the top-40 of the Billboard Rock Charts, and that was all the chart success that the band would enjoy.

The band was active from 1983-1989, and from 2002-2005, but is now inactive.

They ended up recording 6 Studio Albums over the course of their career.

Vh-1 named “Turn up the Radio” as the 93rd Best Hard Rock Song of All-Time.

The song was featured in an episode of “Miami Vice“, and is also featured on the “Grand Theft Auto: Vice City” video game.
