Point Blank were a hard rocking combo from the Dallas / Fort Worth locale of Texas, and were managed and produced by Bill Ham, who performed like roles for the Lone Star State’s finest, ZZ Top.

After a couple of promising albums for Arista Records, debuting in the mid-seventies, PB moved on to the MCA Records label, recording four albums for the label. The four albums- namely ‘Airplay’ (1979), ‘The Hard Way’ (1980), ‘American Exce$$’ (1981) and ‘On A Roll’ (1982) are released as a top value double CD collection, released on North London indie label Floating World on Friday, September 18th 2026.

Point Blank specialised in concise, melodic hard rock, with some fine musicianship and excellent production values. The nearest that the band came to a hit single was with the track ‘Nicole’, from 1981’s ‘American Exce$$’, which made number thirty-nine on the US Billboard Singles Chart, and fared better – making number twenty – in the US Billboard ‘Rock’ charts of the time.

It perhaps wasn’t the best example of the bands’ many fine points – but helped by their appetite for touring, the band won a solid following.
