This is really great stuff! Believe me. "Melodic Hard Rockers VADUZ took their name from the capital city of the principality of Liechtenstein, Europe. A strange choice for a band whose members were all born and raised in Iowa, US, but apparently they liked the name after seeing it in a travel brochure. Vaduz born in the late eighties, they recorded and distributed independently their music then disbanded in 1993, but returned three years ago with some line-up changes and the fruit is "Better Days", the band's fresh CD. After the first track "Workin' Band" you realise that Vaduz know how to write good catchy songs and all their members are accomplished musicians. This is a fantastic melodic rocker akin mid '80s Night Ranger with hot riffs, superb rhythm and a killer chorus. Brian Wade's vocal timbre reminds you Jon Bon Jovi here at his young age. Next, "I Saw The Light Again" is another winner. Complete with cowbwell, these guys takes you back to the Hair Metal glory days. Autograph comes to mind, and this isn't an excessive comparison, believe me. Terrific tune. Title track "Better Days" is more midtempo paced but then explodes with an effective chorus, while follower "Thy Kingdom Come" is a superb piano-ballad with Nelson hints, very well crafted for sure. Uptempo returns with the foot-tappin' bluesy rocker ala Great White "Hey Yeah", "Enemy" is more modern (Extreme here and there), whilst "Faces In The Storm" is another ballad, this time acoustically based. "Lowdown Blues" as title says, is a strong whiskey-soaked blues rocker (Tesla-ish) feauring an impressive sustained guitar, vintage keyboards and moody vocals. For the end we have one of these 'monster power ballads' akin Warrant, very electric in the highly harmonized chorus and crystal during the verses. "Better Days" by Vaduz is one of the surprises of the year without a doubt. If you like pure, elaborated late US '80s Melodic (Hard) Rock in the style of the aforementioned bands, you can't miss this little gem. My only complaint here is the short tracklist. Seriously, all these tracks are glorious. Not only the songwriting is truly faithful to that age/genre, the musicianship and the crystal clear production (excellent for an indie) have the "80s magic touch" so difficult to obtain these days." Tracks: 01. Workin’ Band 02. I Saw the Light Again 03. Better Days 04. Thy Kingdom Come 05. Hey Yeah 06. Enemy 07. Faces in the Storm 08. Lowdown Blues 09.

Man, I love Gorky Park! As far as MJ, the man did no wrong, but I prefer the funkiness of "Off the Wall." That's a good one too.

That is true. It seems that Frontiers Records is all about quantity rather than quality these days. It would be awesome if Shotgun Alley's latest work could get a physical release on Frontiers or AOR Heaven for example. On the subject of Loudguns, they're gonna approach at least Frontiers Records and AFM Records as soon as they have a couple of songs to showcase. I've heard demo mixes of new songs like 'Silent Cries', 'We Don't Need A Hero' and 'Line Of Fire'. If they don't land a record deal with the second effort, the world as we know it is officially crazy!

Me too. Sounds pretty kickass. Some you tube samples good - thanks for the heads up, will check out Info and videos right here mate: http://heavyharmonies.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=30170&&do=findComment&comment=659498
