Most songs were written and arranged by Robby Valentine. Keyboard-driven melodic hard rock is the strong point of 1st Avenue. "Tears And Triumph" is a comprehensive set of beautiful tunes, ranging from uptempo hard rock, midpaced smooth songs, and passionate ballads. This is very similar to bands such as Skagarack, Treat, Atlantic and Zinatra, so if you're into that kind of music, this is purely heaven for you.
