    The Dragons (band)

    The Dragons were a rock band based in San Diego, California, that released seven albums between 1991 and 2005. The band was notably fronted by singer/guitarist Mario Escovedo, whose musical family also includes Alejandro Escovedo, Pete Escovedo, Javier Escovedo (The Zeros), Coke Escovedo, Paris Escovedo (the son of Coke Escovedo) and Sheila E. Other members of The Dragons included Ken Horne (lead guitar), Steve Rodriguez (bass guitar) and Jarrod Lucas (drums).

    The band played a combination of glam, garage and punk rock, similar to New York Dolls and Hanoi Rocks.

    Before starting The Dragons, both Escovedo and Rodriguez had played together in a local San Diego band called M-80. The Dragons formed in 1991 and later that year performed at the first of their 11 appearances at South by Southwest. The band released an eponymous vinyl album in 1992 for the Spanish label Imposible Records.

    A year later they followed with a single for Poptone Records that brought them a lot of local radio exposure. In 1996, The Dragons recorded "Painkiller" for Scam-O-Rama records. Two years later in The Dragons signed a deal with Junk Records and released "Cheers to Me", "R.L.F." and "Kamikaze" in three consecutive years. The band followed that with a Japanese-only release "The Dragons." In 2003, The Dragons signed with Gearhead Records and released "Sin Salvation." Over the years, the band toured nationally both on the club circuit and as opening act for major bands. The band also filmed a music video for the song "Red Fox Room" directed by Mark Habegger.

    Rambo: First Blood Part II

    by: Jerry Goldsmith

    We gave our hearts
    We gave it all
    Flame in the fire
    Burns forevermore
    The sorrow in believing
    Honor and truth
    Gray spires climbing
    Wrapped around our youth
    CHORUS:
    Peace in our life
    Remember the call
    Oh, a cheer for my brothers
    Think of them all
    Home of the brave
    We'll never fall
    The strength of our nation
    Belongs to us all.
    Time is the healing
    of souls laid to rest
    Peace is the virtue
    Never forget
    Tomorrow's an angel
    Watching us all
    Telling the people
    she wraps around our hearts
    CHORUS (x3)
