New York–based melodic/AOR band known for a single highly praised self-titled debut. Lineup cited in reviews includes vocalist Steve Augeri, guitarist Jack Morer, bassist Kevin Totoian and drummer Tommy DeFaria. The record was discovered by Bud Prager, produced by Frank Filipetti, and the band toured as a support act (including Mr. Big) before a brief career curtailed by the rise of grunge.

The band released an eponymous debut praised as an AOR/melodic rock highlight. Vocalist Steve Augeri later joined Tyketto and subsequently became lead singer of Journey; these facts are publicly documented.

The review calls Tall Stories' self-titled debut an indispensable AOR record, praising songwriting, arrangements and Steve Augeri's charismatic vocals. The album is compared to Journey, Foreigner and other arena-rock masters. The band had brief activity and did not continue as grunge rose; Augeri later moved on to other projects including Tyketto and Journey.

For:Fans of AOR, melodic rock and classic arena rock (Journey, Foreigner, Boston)

 Indispensable, the eponymous debut album by the New Yorkers Tall Stories is the classic example of an album that, regardless of genre and musical tastes, should absolutely not be missing from the collection of any rocker worthy of this name, whatever the cost might be, because what more could one ask for from a platter that simultaneously exudes elegance, sophistication, melodic taste, attention to arrangements, and songwriting filled with nods to the masters of the genre?
