Tyketto

The band saw their name painted on a wall in Brooklyn and thought it sounded cool. In 1989, the band signed to Geffen Records and released their first album Don't Come Easy, which includes the hit single "Forever Young". Musically, the album sits somewhere between Whitesnake and Bon Jovi, and Tyketto opened for the former on many projects. However, the rise of the grunge sound in 1991 saw Tyketto's hopes of a big breakthrough begin to slip away. Kennedy left the band and was replaced by Jaimie Scott. Their second album was rejected by Geffen and finally came out in 1994 under the title Strength in Numbers on CMC International in the United States and Music for Nations elsewhere in the world.
