Messendger has been played on NTS in shows including A Fist in the Face of God presents: Midnite Madness, featured first on 26 February 2025. Songs played include Strangers.

Sole privately pressed album from Atlanta power trio Messendger. Veterans of the Southern bar band scene, they recorded their only album in 1982 and released it on their own Jab records label (JAB III). Some initial copies also came with an exclusive 7" included, the tracks on this are unknown, such is the items scarcity. This is one of the hardest indie Southern Hard Rock LPs to find anywhere. After it began to generate rave reviews in the European Metal press, French label Bernett Records released the album in Europe in 1983 (SBR18001). There is also a French 45 of "Strangers", with "No One Will Stand In The Way", on the flip. Whilst the USA got a 7" release of "Be Bop A Lula" coupled with "Strangers". They played pretty hard stuff for the time, sounding at times like early Triumph while the guitarwork is comparable to Gary Moore's on the G-Force album but much harder. Increasingly expensive and hard to find nowadays, but if you see a reasonably priced copy don't hesitate to buy it. If you love heavy hard rock with melody, you'll be in heaven with this fantastic little record from this amazing trio.
