During the recording of this album at Chapel Lane Studios in Hereford, a mysterious guest appeared and wanted to join in. His name - Larry Norman. He features on one of the tracks but we couldn't credit him with his real name because of contractual obligations. So we called him Larold Namron!
Music
Icy Hearts includes one of Steve's favourite songs to perform: "Fire!" He performed this many times on stage as a solo artist using a Korg O1W Keyboard, Roland Electronic Drums and a Fender Strat - but not all at the same time! Lighting effects and smoke included!

Fighting Back was released in conjunction with Steve's last tour in India. He brought together friends and family and formed his backing band Warrior, who also feature on this album. It's all about "making waves", "stirring hearts", "fighting back!". Steve's passion for the needs of people in some of the poorest areas of the world comes through in his song writing.

This album sees Steve's collaboration with After The Fire guitarist, John Russell, whose superb guitar playing lights up this album. John toured in India as lead guitarist in Steve's band playing to large audiences in college campuses and concert venues across the country.
Review:
“This 1986 album sees singer/songwriter Steve Flashman beginning to embrace ’80s keyboard technology and updating his sound. As you’d expect, this is a collection of spiritual, thought provoking material recorded at the height of Steve’s time as a music minister. The album also saw him team up with After The Fire’s John Russell who produced this set. The songs “Private Life”/”Video Boom” were liberated from this set and released as a seven inch single. Both songs coming from the edgier end of the album and “Private Life” has a neat insistent groove whilst “Video Boom” employs a more futuristic sound. Other highlights of the album include the opening pop of “Hit And Run” and the punch of the title cut. Another piece of catchy pop is captured towards the end of the set on “You Stood Me On My Feet” with its worshipful feel. Listening to this 25 years on, it’s definitely of its time and these days Steve is a church minister but there’s plenty to enjoy if you enjoy some retro ’80s sounds or admire strong songwriting” Mike Rimmer
