Filthy Rich - Too Hot for Love

I wound up picking this one up as well, and I must say, this has been a most pleasant surprise. Very good melodic rock/AOR throughout, and gets better with each listen. Not sure why they haven't released "Midnight Lady" as a single/video, as it is far and away the best track on the album... IMO of course.

It’s not a “you” problem; I could barely make out a word while listening to “Unbreakable” last night. A lyric video is definitely necessary when listening to MS these days. Still, even not having a clue what he was singing for the most part, this is better than pretty much everything off the first Shitbomb album.

🎸 Get ready to rock out with SUMBOMB's (Sunbomb) first advance single, "Unbreakable"! 🤘 Featuring Michael Sweet (STRYPER), Tracii Guns (L.A. GUNS) and Alessandro DelVecchio (EDGE OF FOREVER), this track is pure fire! 🔥 Listen here: Don't miss their new album, "Light Up The Sky", dropping on Frontiers Music on June 28, 2024! 🌟 "Light Up The Sky" tracklist: 01. Unbreakable 02. Steel Hearts 03. In Grace We'll Find Our Name 04. Light Up The Sky 05. Rewind 06. Scream Out Loud 07. Winds Of Fate 08. Beyond The Odds 09. Reclaim The Night 10. Where We Belong 11.

You Know What To Do 02. Soldiers Under Command 03. No More Hell To Pay 04. Make You Mine 05. Loud & Clear 06. Lady 07. Honestly 08. Calling On You 09. Amazing Grace 10. Always There For You 11. All For One The following message was posted on Stryper‘s Facebook page back on April 12, 2024: “We’re here to share a major update: the Stryper acoustic project is being re-released in new and exciting ways! Initially, when we decided to offer Acousticyzed two-disc sets directly to consumers, we were extremely cautious with production. Since this project was entirely self-funded and independently released, it was crucial for us to assess interest before taking an even bigger leap. Well…as you may be aware, the sets sold out very quickly, and we can’t thank you enough for making that happen. That said, we’ve heard your feedback loud and clear! You want MORE. We’re thrilled to announce a partnership that will take this project to the next level. We’re teaming up with a company to elevate the experience and bring you some incredible new products. This collaboration will allow us to expand our formats to include vinyl, CDs, DVDs/Blu-rays, and even cassettes. Stay tuned for more details and release dates. We’ll also have these items available for purchase during our upcoming “To Hell With The Amps” tour (https://stryper.com/tour). We are incredibly grateful to each and every one of you for your unwavering support of this project, and we can’t wait to share this next chapter with you!”

Hall Aflame, the rock band which features Metal Church founding guitarist Kurdt Vanderhoof, will release their long-awaited sophomore album “Amplifire” on May 3, 2024 via Rat Pak Records. Originally formed in 1989, the band garnered commercial success with their debut album “Guaranteed Forever”, which was well received by fans and industry peers alike and quickly found themselves opening for ZZ Top on their 1991 “Recycler" tour for a number of dates. As with many bands from that era, facing a decline in interest for AOR rock due to the onslaught of the “grunge” scene, the band went on a lengthy hiatus and reunited again in late 2023 to begin working on a handful of songs. Amplifier offers 12 new studio tracks and reunites Kurdt with original bassist Brian Smith, along with drummer Bill Raymond and front-man Scott Nutter. Regarding the album, Kurdt Vanderhoof comments, “This album came about as a project to document all the songs that we had written for the second album that never came to be. We revisited the songs and realized they had to be recorded properly. Then it blossomed into something much better than we had even hoped! So that led us into reforming the band instead of just having it be a project." Bassist Brian Smith adds, “I think anyone that is a fan of “Guaranteed Forever” will see this record as a new and improved "Part II" of Hall Aflame. Great songs, great production and we had a ton of fun putting this together!” Scott Nutter adds, “A good hard rock album should lift you, make you want to sing along and rock out! That's what this album does for me!” From the driving album opener “Helltown” to the powerhouse outro track “Keeping Them All Away”, Hall Aflame shines with their signature brand of rock-n-roll. Tracks like “Ripcord”, “In The Same Gutter”, “It Ain’t Enough” and “Gunnin’” are filled with memorable hooks and melodies, while songs like “Pullin Me Apart” and “1974” showcase their unique, classic rock songwriting abilities. With influences that range from Bad Company to Thin Lizzy, “Amplifire” is best described as the perfect blend of classic rock with a modern-day edge! Track listing: 01 Helltown 02 Ripcord 03 1974 04 This Ain't Love 05 The Same Gutter 06 It Ain't Enough 07 Gunnin' 08 Pullin' Me Apart 09 Long Way Down 10 Keeping Them All Away 11 Cowboy (bonus track) [CD & Digital] 12 Paradise on Ice (bonus track) [CD & Digital]
