and recorded six albums between 1976 and 1982. Garnering occasional airplay on AOR

discovered and managed by Bill Ham's Lone Wolf Productions (Zz Top). The original six 
albums were recorded in Memphis with Engineer/Producer Terry Manning. Point Blank's 
sound is rooted in southern rock and boogie, In 1981 they released their fifth album, 
American Excess which included the hit single Nicole. With strong air-play on AOR radio

in late 2009, Point Blank released their seventh album titled Fight on, their first studio album
