They certainly have that Def Lep vibe going in spades.

Sounds like 'I'm Just Ken' from The Barbie Movie. 😆

Maybe one of these?

Great tune - not sure I can get past the accent though.

Sounds nice.. but needs some polish on the production.

It's a shame that these fantastic vocalists are on board with such generic material.. and agree that we are all getting pretty bored with the majority of Frontiers' cookie-cutter releases of late.

Pretty solid debut. What ever happened to these guys?

I suspect this is the song you are after?

This made it into my top ten for 2018.. really good stuff!

Could it be this? Only song that came to mind..

Sweet! Maybe we will get a new Survivor album with Dave back on vox at some point??

Wow, what great news! It's been kind of a so-so year for music thus far, so this just might save it!

Some really nice AOR right there..

Not too shabby!

That is so great! Thanks for sharing!

Decent tune! I know a lot of folks on this site really like them.. For me, I feel they are not quite there. They seem to have all the potential in the world and have the right elements in their songs to be tops in the genre.. but haven't quite put it all together yet.

Does this guy ever stop making music? It seems every year he has something new coming out.

Looks good now. Thanks!

 

Some good lists for sure. Why are we not able to leave comments on the list page?

You can. Scroll down to the bottom of the page. You will have to sign in.

 

I don't think that is the case. The comment widget needs to be added to the page..

Was Enbound's 'The Blackened Heart' release not considered? I do not believe I saw that one on anyone's list. This one was squarely in my top ten for 2016. I also thought the debut of Grand Slam deserved more love.

Some good lists for sure. Why are we not able to leave comments on the list page?

The difference between my number one album and on down to number 10 album are at razor thin margins.. This being said, my number one album, thus far, is "All the Shades of Darkened Light' from Free Spirit. Maybe not the best vocals, production etc.. but the songs are totally infectious and are just too darn good. A very close second is 'Tearing Down The Walls' from H.E.A.T.

Speaking of H.E.A.T., I was really bummed not to be able to get to Chicago this year for MRF4 to see them & Work Of Art specifically. MRF3 was pretty damn awesome! Eclipse stole that show!

Anyway, tough call between In Faith and Sunstrike for newcomer of the year. Both albums were quite solid. Ammunition was really good too but just did not pull me in as much as the aforementioned releases.

Song of the year would probably have to go to Pretty Maids, "My Soul To Take"

That is a song called 'Keep The Fire Burning' from a band called Restless..
