De Mont is from Sydney, Australia and is made up of Craig Morrison on vocals, Peter James on keyboards, Terry Mandryk on guitar, Grant Byrne on bass and Rodney Willnet on drums.
Signed to Alberts, who were AC/DC’s Australian label in the early days and George Young was one of the producers and songwriters at the label.
Man, they had some serious promotion behind them.
When Skid Row came to town, De Mont was opening. When Motley Crue hit Australia on the “Dr Feelgood” tour, De Mont was again the lucky band tasked with opening the show.
“Body Language” is the debut studio album released in 1989 on Giant Records.
The album’s style is simply AOR Rock.
Move On You
A fast keyboard synth riff starts the song which reminds me.
Musically, once the guitars kick in, it feels like a Bryan Adams rock cut.
Terry Mandryk is virtually unknown, but he lets loose some excellent guitar work on this, especially in the solo. I read on one of the YouTube videos that he used to be in a metal band based on the Central Coast called “Stark Raven.
I Want Your Body
It was released as a single.
The drum beat to kick it off, reminds of Robert Palmer and his “Addicted To Love” song.
Wild Boy
There is a cool synth lick to start the song off, before all hell breaks loose.
And the lead break from Mandryk is guitar hero worthy.
So Easy
It’s a ballad.
And wait for the lead break by Mandryk. And with each emotive bend, it will have you pulling all the orgasmic faces lead guitar players do.
In My Dreams
Big guitars and synths kick off this song.
And what a Chorus. Excellent.
My favorite song on the album.
Close To The Edge
One of the singles. For some reason I have it on 7 inch single and cassette.
Synth chords kick it off, before the band comes crashing in.
The verses are different, unique and when the Chorus kicks in, it rocks but it felt lacking.
Strange World
A guitar riff dominates the song.
Shake It Up
A skip.
Too Late
A ballad. More pop rock than soft rock.
Sex Attention
The horns make it sound sleazy. It reminds me of a few tracks from the “A Little Aint Enough” album by David Lee Roth.
They released one more album “R.I.P.PED” in 1991 (I just found that out) and then like so many other bands, they disappeared.
According to the bio of Craig Morrison who is an artist in Nashville, a management label dispute led to De Mont disbanding.
But they did leave us with “In My Dreams”.
Crank it.
destroyerofharmony 
they were on every shelf werent they!! .. so much publicity. but metal or glam/aor never really took off in oz. i used to always get them mixed up with D’Molls
I struggled with the name but at least they kept a similar theme between the covers of the LP and singles.
And you’re 100 percent correct that AOR/Glam never rally took off in Oz. It was too far removed from the working class roots of the country and we didn’t really have a scene that fostered it either.
Wow! Another band that I have never heard about. Too bad as this sounds like something I would’ve been listening to back in the day. Cool you have the singles still.
Cool writeup Pete. Never heard of them at all will scour Apple to see if they have this.
It should be on Apple if Spotify has it.
