Here's a pretty cool interview recently with Geoff Tate:

The new 2022 lineup of Santa Cruz – which sees Finnish frontman/guitarist and founding member Archie Cruz now joined by the talented Los Angeles-based trio of guitarist Jerry Jade (Bad Gvy), bassist Tommy Bradley (Revelry Gang), and drummer Randy McDemian (Abrahadabra Clothing) – will be filming a music video for the song on-location in Joshua Tree, California, and will make their live debut on Wednesday, April 6th at the Whisky A Go-Go in Los Angeles.

“I am stoked to keep working with the Vegas based label M-Theory Audio as I feel like they did a good job with two of our previous releases,” states Archie Cruz. “I am looking forward to completing this next album cycle and Santa Cruz chapter with them.”

Santa Cruz unveil three new members and to release new album 'The Return of The Kings' in fall 2022 - Sleaze Roxx

Found it kinda boring tbh.

An early nominee for AOTY?

Definitely

Once the losses pile up a week or two into the season, the Orioles will already be out of it and my interest will be zero. 

First spin through, I like this a lot. Better than the last album but not quite up to the level of CDG or GOG.

Great solid Treat album.

What an amazing album. Even ADV couldn't fuck this up.

All killer, no filler. Might even be better than Robin's Standing On The Edge album.

I hope they keep making albums of this quality.

Way better than expected.

With Guy Bailey, I penned the benchmark QUIREBOYS songs - such as Hey You, I Don't Love You Any More and 7 O'Clock - which have defined the band musically for decades and, to this day, remain the hallmark songs of any QUIREBOYS show.

May be this new album needs to be heard and not seen, the singer is odd.

Yeah... I agree. Weird dude. 

Agree with Darkstone.

very solid first single but the involvement of ADV concerns me 

Why does that motherfucker got to be on EVERY Frontiers release????

It's borderline insanity at this point.

I don't know the background either but I'm not a fan of sites giving away artist music for free without any benefit to the artist themselves.

That's the problem. Its a great review/resource site for new stuff but I don't like the fact that they have illegal downloads.

They should combine members with Great White.

Call the band the Douchebags

They look ancient next to Erik!! LOL

These guys are dicks:

Touching upon the circumstances that led to SKID ROW's split with Theart, Sabo said: "It got to a point where the situation with Zee kind of put itself forth where we had to make a decision, because something still wasn't working correctly. And that's when the idea with Erik came up. And ironically enough, years ago, a good friend of mine, Rob Hoffman, had said, 'If something ever happens, there's this guy in Sweden.' And he said the same thing to our manager as well years ago. And all of a sudden, as life happens, it kind of came full circle and it became a reality.

"I've been on a high for probably the last month, just hearing the way the songs are coming out, seeing the enthusiasm in everybody, seeing the positive reactions we're getting from playing it for people," Snake added. "And it feels so amazing. I feel like I'm 25 years old again… But it's been an incredible experience, and the way this whole thing has sort of come to fruition, it makes you just go, 'Man, there's something going on that's beyond our control.' The stars aligned, if you will."

Been listening to this album today. Another great 2022 release IMO.

Can't wait!

they've already said no one in the film industry wants to associate themselves with him. Bad Boys franchise is dead in water. I doubt he'll make a movie for at least 5 years. we'll see.

What an idiot 🙄 

Was he all that good of an actor anyway?

not staged. Tosser just resigned from the academy. His film career is toast 

No it isn't. He can still make movies. He just can't vote for the awards anymore.

yep that's exactly what it says on the Web page. Probably takes them about a few hours of tinkering ... adding the odd name etc.

not bad work for $7500 

Actually it says yoiu can pick any song in their catalog:

Pick any song from Steel Panthers catalog and they will record a NEW version with lyrics inspired by you, just for you.  The band will deliver a full rock song finished to a quality comparable to songs on their albums.  This will include both a digital download of the song and a custom 7" vinyl.  The band will do up to two lyric revisions prior to recording the song.  Once lyrics have been approved, this product is non-refundable.

It's not at the level of Dreamin in a casket or Cmon take on me 

But I think it's a still a very decent album , miles better than the two before it.

I'm enjoying it .

That's where I am with it. 

All politicians are scum. Doesn't matter if you are R or D. All liars and self serving.
