Andres del Castillo of Eight Seconds

Reliving My Youth

Noel catches up with Andres del Castillo, who was the lead singer of the Canadian band, Eight Seconds. The synthpop/progressive rock group is best known for their 1986 hit, "Kiss You (When It's Dangerous)." It reached #14 overall in the Canadian charts, #1 in Quebec, and #72 in the United States. The band toured with Wang Chung in support of their amazing debut album, Almacantar. The album was produced by Rupert Hine, who produced The Fixx, Howard Jones and Tina Turner. Record company issues delayed the release of their second album, Big Houses, by two years. When it was released in 1990, the landscape had changed and the album came and went. The band broke up soon afterwards.
