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!

About the order I'd put them in....might flip flop KTF and Slippery but otherwise probably my order. And totally agree about the rest of the albums. Frankly, I might even leave Bounce and HAND off the list as the downward spiral started with those. They'basically two different bands for me....The band we all loved in the 80's early 90's and then the adult contemporary, elevator music band they turned into.

I've never been able to get into these guys and have even been revisiting some stuff lately since they'll be playing at MRF5 in Chicago. This new song almost sounds borderline country to me....I almost get like a Rascal Flats type vibe.....not that I've listed to much Rascal Flats lol. It's just not happening for me.

LOL. It does bother me a bit that this is basically a CDR that was produced very cheaply. I even bought my copy directly from NEH records and it was using an AORheaven stock number, so I thought maybe it would be like all AOR heaven releases. It's clearly not though. It's still okay and there's some good songs here. But it's clear the band basically did this CD as cheap as they could and just tried to get something out there. Really like the album though and hopefully this gets them with a label like maybe AOR Heaven for a future release for some better packaging and such.

Searched a bit and didn't see a thread on this album anywhere. Recently picked this album up and liking it. It's one I never paid any attention to when it was released and haven't seen many reviews at all on it. Basically melodic rock with a very Tesla-like vibe. Might be worth checking out for anybody that likes that sort of Tesla-ish, gritty, slightly bluesy melodic rock.

Guess I'm a little behind but just bought these two myself.

Finally came around on Pink Cream 69's Headstrong and after getting the CD it's all really grown on me and digging it. Solid melodic hard rock. I'd probably go back on revise my 2017 list and put this one in the #10 spot now.

I've never followed these guys but decided to check this out with things being a little slow on the new release front lately... Have to say I've liked most of what I've listened to. There are probably 2-3 sings that are a bit bland but there's some good stuff here. I kinda like We Bow To None, Walls Come Down, Man of Sorrow and Bloodsucker.

I'm with you...just never got into these guys and this doesn't do much for me. Mostly I think I just don't care for vocals.

Maybe a few too many categories but bands you've listed seem reasonable to me. It just goes to show how diverse "rock" is.
