The Mirrors – I Am Not Afraid – 1990

Yes this is The Mirrors from Malcolm And The Mirrors, kind of. Mike Minardi and Richard Cimino from the original Mirrors are joined by Scott Stewart, Terry McNabb, Bill Walden (Undercover), and Rob Watson (DA). This a pretty good line up for a CCM band and it doesn’t disappoint. This actually appears to be a relatively unknown release but it was on Asaph Records which was a very know label. The album itself has a strong mid 80’s New Wave feel and quite frankly I wish i had heard it earlier because it is a fantastic album. I suspect they were a little late with the sound so that may be part of the reason it is a lesser known release.

  1. Can this cd be bought or even digital download? I did have this cd but some where along the way it was lost .

  2. I learned of this band because they had several songs in a surf movie called Wave of Life.
    Great surf movie with a very young Kelly Slater and many other surf stars of the time. Greg Laurie is the narrator.
    Mike
