About this album
Where they were
Released in early 1993, 'Pull' was Winger's third studio album, arriving after a brief hiatus following their second album, 'In the Heart of the Young'. At this point, Winger was navigating a shift in musical trends as grunge began to dominate the rock landscape. The band sought to evolve their sound while retaining their signature melodic style.
Why it matters
'Pull' marked a significant departure from Winger's earlier glam metal roots, showcasing a more mature sound that received mixed reviews yet solidified their artistic credibility. The album's lead single, 'Blind Revolution Mad', reached number 27 on the Billboard Hot 100, demonstrating that the band could still achieve commercial success despite changing musical tastes.
