  8. New album 'Lightning In A Bottle' out March 11. From Frontiers: Frontiers Music Srl is thrilled to announce a fourth album, "Lightning In A Bottle" from the popular melodic rock group FIND ME. Vocalist Robbie LaBlanc and drummer/producer Daniel Flores will release their new album on March 11, 2022. A delightful and massive melodic rock album, "Lightning In A Bottle" is chock full of mighty anthemic AOR songs featuring Robbie’s soaring vocals backed by amazing performances from Flores and his band. Sonically, this album touches on both the classic Melodic Rock/AOR style, while also showing influences from the new guard of the genre. Find Me is an ongoing collaboration between Swedish musician, songwriter, and producer Daniel Flores (The Murder Of My Sweet) and singer Robbie LaBlanc (Blanc Faces, ex-Fury) that was put together by Frontiers President, Serafino Perugino with a vision to unleash another AOR behemoth. Their partnership has yielded three absolute melodic rock gems in a row and "Lightning In A Bottle" will certainly be no exception. "I really want to thank the band on this album, Jonny Trobro, Michael Palace (guitar), Rolf Staffan Pilotti, and the amazing voice, my friend, Robbie LaBlanc and, of course, our silent, but very vocal and important member, Serafino Perugino, for all the hard work on this release! But there is one person I really want to thank and that is Alessandro Del Vecchio, who is responsible for writing 10 amazing songs on this record. He will be featured heavily on my next work too. Yes, he likes to play!!! And is pretty lucky too! There is still one more BIG, BBBBBBBIG surprise on the album, featuring one of the best songwriters and keyboard players on earth at the moment, but I'll let the press team have that one..." says Daniel Flores. The aforementioned special guest is Vince DiCola who plays keyboards on a cover of 'Far From Over', a song by Frank Stallone from the "Staying Alive" soundtrack. Vince is actually a co-writer of the original along with Stallone. Find Me's "Lightning In A Bottle" will no doubt be another unmissable album from Frontiers for the Melodic Rock/AOR crowd! Tracks: "Lightning In A Bottle" Tracklisting: 1. Survive 2. Far From Over (Feat. Vince Di Cola) 3. Sail Away 4. Back To You 5. Diana 6. Distant Echoes 7. Remember (It's Me) 8. You And I 9. Under A Bad Sign 10. Give My Heart 11. On The Run
  9. From Escape Music: KEYS is a collaboration between keyboardist Mark Mangold (Touch, Drive, She Said, Michael Bolton, Cher, Paul Rogers and others) and singer Jake E (Cyhra, Amarenthe, and others). Featuring live performances with three keyboardists and a huge battery of keyboards, this ambitious band brings keyboard and instrumental prowess to new heights while playing songs that run the gamut from scathing progressive melodic forays to catchy and melodic rock anthems featuring keyboards…and Jake’s award winning voice (Burrn Vocalist of the year 2020). Jake and Mark met when Jake’s band Cyhra needed a place to stay and record in 2019, which turned out to be in Mark’s studio in New York. They collaborated on a song for the Cyhra album and decided to record the KEYS album when Mark presented some songs to Jake. The band recorded the album, made up of songs penned by the duo, during the pandemic and finished it up during early 2021. The KEYS album also features guest keyboard additions by Charlie Calv of Angel, with "moral" support by some notable, but unmentionable, keyboard players. Showing the versatility of keyboards in this day and age, these artfully crafted songs are ripe with scathing synth and organ pyrotechnics, dazzling time signatures and drumming, bombastic choruses and even guitar riffs, played on keyboards with the now available plug in’s that perfectly emulate guitars. As Mark and Jake are first and foremost award winning songwriters, they never lose sight of the composition and melodies, though couched in the very signature and distinct sound of the band and Jake's 4 octave vocal range. This will be the first of hopefully many KEYS album!! KEYS IS: JAKE E.

  13. From Frontiers: Frontiers Records is proud to present “20 Years”, a collection assembling the works of Mecca, the classic AOR band started by vocalist Joe Vana. The band's three studio releases, "Mecca", "Undeniable", and "III" are all included on "20 Years", which will be released on February 18, 2022. When he was only 13 years old, Joe Vana’s life was forever changed through a chance meeting with Survivor’s Jim Peterik. Jim taught him everything he knew about music and the music business. But, it wasn’t until he was 28 years old that he discovered his voice, which is when he became Peterik’s in-house demo singer for many years. Joe and Jim eventually created a band called Project Voyager, which ultimately morphed into Mecca. In 2002, Mecca released their debut self-titled album, which featured David Hungate (ex-Toto) on bass, Shannon Forrest on drums, Fergie Frederiksen (ex-Toto) and Joe on vocals, Mike Aquino on guitars and Jimmy Nichols on keyboards. “Mecca” created a sonic treasure that was more than well-received by the Melodic Rock/AOR community. Fans had a nine year wait for the follow-up album, but it was worth it. Titled “Undeniable” (2011), it saw Vana working with Swedish guitarist Christian Wolff and producer/songwriter/guitarist Tommy Denander. The results were again breathtaking, an album which perfectly melded the outstanding high-tech AOR approach of Mr. Mister’s “Welcome to the Real World” to the sheer commercial brilliance of Toto’s “The Seventh One”. In 2016, the “III” album finally saw the light of day, a record that would have topped AOR charts back in the glory days of the genre. The list of players involved is impressive: Shannon Forrest (Toto), Tim Akers (Richard Marx, Amy Grant), David Hungate (ex-Toto), and Joe's son Joey on guitar. In Toto's Steve Lukather words: "Killer new music! Great songs! Great playing from everyone ... and Joe's vocals are better than ever! Smooth, real and soulful. I love the 'surprise modulations' that are now his style which make this a great listen for fans of his and the entire genre of melodic rock music. Creative arrangements throughout and I love the synth/keyboard work. David Hungate is amazing as is Shannon Forrest on drums and production. Great sounds and killer guitars all over it! Can't say which track is my fave yet, cause I love all of them. Summing it up in 3 words: Well f***ing done!” Whether for the uninitiated or for those who are due to revisit Mecca, “20 Years” is for you! CD1: 1. Velocitized 2. Without You 3. Can’t Stop Love 4. Silence Of The Heart 5. You Still Shock Me 6. Mecca 7. Wishing Well 8. Close That Gap 9. Blinded By Emotion 10. Falling Down 11. Miss-Chevious (Bonus Track) CD2: 1. Perfect World 2. Closing Time 3.
