Sounds interesting.

Sticking the knife and and turning it! Can't wait for this one. I'm guessing we'll be seeing a new single pretty soon along with preorders opening if they're sticking to their early April release. Hoping More Than The Moon and Easier Said Than Done made the cut....both of those songs sounded pretty good live.

Have tried but have struggled to get into these guys. I thought I'd live them being a big Leppard fan but they just haven't clicked for me. Mostly I think I just struggle with the accented vocals. I recently got Thrill of the Night cheap off eBay though and have been giving them another try in preparation for seeing them at MRF5. I also have Idolizer which I think is a bit better than Thrill. Although, that Rawk n roll heart attack song is pretty catchy.

Play it after Tokyo Motor Fist and it sounds great though

Thanks for posting these samples! https://heavyharmonies.com/cgi-bin/glamcd.cgi?BandNum=6839&CDName=Cold Star Dancer Sounding absolutely fantastic to me. Personally really digging the sound of Goodbye and Seize The Day as more melodic tunes but all sounding good to me.

Pretty much feel the same way. Decent tune but doesn't blow me away. I like a couple of the other songs I've heard from the podcast I posted above better than this. Hoping there is some variety and more melodic stuff on the album.

I'm pretty sure I heard Rob say in an interview he had like 30-40 songs written for the debut album which might be one reason why they can turn another around quick. Will be interesting to see what they come up with but I'm expecting more of the sane which will be just fine with me.

From Pete Nudeck on Facebook: So I started pre production on the first 3 songs for the Midnite City album #2. We're winning already. Already loving the shape of these. All.killer no polyfiller. Rob Wylde also mentioned in the same thread that the new album is targeted to be out in October of this year. Definitely looking forward to that one

Absolutely loving this album. I'd basically put The Crown, Harder to Breathe, People Like Us and Shangri-La as my "10" songs. Then I'd put Tidal Wave, War Of Mine just a notch below as probably "9.5" songs but really like both a lot. Then the others are all 8.5-9.0 songs that I still like plenty. Carnival Days is quirky but an opener that puts the listener on notice. Gotta Be Real and Hope are both solid ballads. Shot of Life is a catchy tune and Reincarnation is interesting...almost a GNR "Coma" roller coaster type song. With how much I've liked this album I've went back to the first album to really give it a better listen as I really never paid much attention to it outside of just sampling a song here or there on YT. While clearly not on the same level as this new one, I'm finding a handful of songs that are growing on me. Maybe I'm warming up to the singers voice although he's definitely a bit screamy/high pitched in a few songs on the debut. This new one really hits a sweet spot though. It's melodic as heck but still rocks with good variety. And to me the production sounds fantastic while the singer is showing more range and control. Agree with Peter above....Really strong album. Even with all the great releases in 2017, if this had been released in 2017 I probably would've ranked it in my top 3. I know there are great releases coming this year but it's set the bar high for me.

Decided to take a chance and pre order....not sure if it's the tune or the video that sold me on it lol. Don't really have big expectations but like the 80's flashback sound of this.

Not sure about Australia. But I know they sell the CD on their web site and have info on their Facebook page. I'd just message them on Facebook if you need to ask about shipping to Australia. https://stationnyc.bandcamp.com/ Really down to earth and humble guys from the interactions I've had with them....easy to support. Also they have a new album coming out in early April.

I may need to check this out.

Pretty good I like Shangri-la too. The variety on this album is something that surprised me and makes the album an interesting listen. Only song that really didn't grab me at first listen was Reincarnation...but it's growing on me. Its almost reminding me some of Coma from Guns N Roses in a way.

Got the album and only been through it once so can't say much so far. It's my #1 album of 2018 so far.....even though it's the only one I've bought Seriously though, I'm loving it after one listen and sounds great to me. I really find it hard to believe it's the same band as the debut as I didn't like that album at all. Really liking this one though even after one listen....big production and much more melodic which makes it more interesting and catchy. And the singer really sounds much more controlled. I think they're ticking more boxes in the rock spectrum with this now instead of just being a pure sleaze band like the debut. There's some AOR elements, melodic hard rock, melodic rock, maybe even a couple poppy moments. I think I'll be spinning this one a lot. Another tune from the album...

Is there an album actually coming or is this just a stand alone single? For some reason I was under the impression it was just a stand alone single but would be great if an album is coming. Either way, I like this song a lot. I really like the heavier, more modern direction they started going in on the last album and have continued with this song. I'm guessing that some people who loved the more AOR vibe of the debut might not be as thrilled with this direction though. Good stuff.

Nice! Was hoping the new album would be out in time for MRF5...Looking forward to seeing the new songs live!

I remember asking this same question at some point along the way Being a huge Leppard and H.e.a.t fan i'll toss out a few bands to check out: Station is one new US band that's playing that style: Midnite City is a new UK band you absolutely should check out: Tokyo Motor Fist also fits:

Looking forward to it! Any idea when the first single might hit? I was surprised to hear Chris say in a recent interview that All You Need Is A Heartbeat and Never Enough wouldn't be on the new album and those songs would just be stand alone singles. Both are good songs that I was hoping would be on the album. Must mean they've got plenty other good songs to leave those off though Either way, looking forward to the album and one of my most anticipated albums this year along.

3 new Maverick songs are buried in this podcast for anyone interested that isn't good at waiting lol. http://original.livestream.com/aiiradionet/video?clipId=pla_aabe0bb3-d77f-47e2-94a9-e5d40a11652b Very first song in the podcast is Cold Star Dancer...it's about a minute into the podcast after all the intro stuff. Then go to the 3:08 mark for Myrmidon followed by Devils Night. Sounding pretty good to me

I sort of agree....FM is a good comparison. I'd need to hear more edge and I'm doubting it'll really get much more edgy. No way this turns into W.e.t or something.

Not too bad....pretty much pure AOR. Not sure if it's quite my taste as I generally like a little more edge. But the song does seem well put together and still sounds pretty good. I'm not sure I'd be comparing it to bands like Eclipse, W.e.t or One Desire though....doesn't seem to have the edge those bands have. More like Work Of Art, Palace, maybe Brother Firetribe, etc. I'd like to hear a little more from these guys before making my mind up though. I've seen on FB the band commented there are edgier songs on the album.

New song is fantastic to my ears. Almost a Guns N Roses type intro and then it shifts gears a bit.....good stuff. Really liking all these new tunes which is a complete surprise to me as I didn't like the first release much at all outside of maybe a song or two. I like the variety in these new songs and they're just sounding much more interesting. Have pre-ordered this one and looking forward to it.

I agree. I've never followed these guys or bought a release from them up until a month or so ago. Like Headstrong quite a bit...Only a couple songs that don't do much for me...mainly Path Of Destiny and Whistleblower. I like the rest though. Have since went back and picked up Ceremonial also. It's a bit different....More production, more melodic and maybe more modern sounding. I'd say I like Headstrong a bit better but like Ceremonial also for a little change of pace. The first song is pretty terrible but I mostly like it after that. Special and The Tide are the standouts for my ears. Good band though and may continue investigating their back catalog a bit.

Not sure how long this will be around but sounding good!
