Man I must admit, those snippets are really growing on me. Can't wait to hear the full thing

Glad this is finally coming out. Can't say much for the songs as some of them are pretty chopped up in the preview and don't give much away except for a very small taste of what's to come. But definitely sounds promising and will get this when it's out

Listening to Eclipse's 'Armageddonize' as I'm typing this. I've always wondered, how many copies get sold of new melodic rock albums everybody raves about and includes in their top ten lists for each year? Anyone have any info on how many albums the ''big'' names like Eclipse, Hardline, Revolution Saints etc. sell? What's a realistic number, like 5 or 10 thousand?

I remember back when Crashdiet's last album came out they had a thousand pre-orders and were overwhelmed by that number so I don't know, what do you guys think is a number that Frontiers and the artists can consider a ''success''?

Daddy's Home with Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg, really liked that one

Something nobody seems to think about I believe is: Riot Avenue with the same ''sound'' as New Religion (everything else being the same, same songs and arrangments) would NOT EVEN sound good I think

I like both albums for what they are and couldn't imagine either having the sound of the other and vice versa

My sis gives me shit because of I like this band. I love the 3rd cd. Amni a poser?

Yes

 

One comment below the facebook post in particular resonated with me:

 

Maybe it's time to rethink release dates, instead of complaining how the decades-old promotional model is broken. I don't understand why advance copies are necessary. If, say, Toto has a new record coming out, don't tell me how great it is but then tell me I can't listen to it for another 2 months. Just go "the new album is done! Here it is." Reviews can still be written after an album is released, unless the only thing that matters is first-week sales, which is an idea that really needs to die. A good album is just as good a month, a year, a decade after it's released as it was on the release date. There's no MTV, or good rock radio anymore, so the idea of serving videos and singles to build up albums seems very out of date and unnecessary. I don't need to know about albums I can't actually go listen to yet.

 

While not directly aimed at the issue frontiers raised, I've been asking myself the same question like what the fuck!!??!?!?!?!?!? this needs to stop just release the music we love and want to hear don't be teasing us with that type of shit. take the inglorious release for example, people who have been wanting to hear it know about the album coming out since........ at least october. the album's been done since LOOOOOOOOONG before that. when is it coming out though?? fucking end of february i mean come on!!!!!!!!!

 

This from Paul Logue -

 

To be able to fulfil the modern needs, the label needs to have all production parts at least 4 months prior the scheduled release date. Vinyl production takes nowadays 8-14 weeks, digital albums should be online in stores 2 months prior the release that direct links can be spread and fans can hit the "buy" button after seeing news online. US releases need 3 months of pre-roll time to add the release to the distributor databases, sub-licensing to Japan and South America needs months of pre-roll time for listening and negotiations. Creative digital promo and marketing campaigns need to be arranged months in advance and last but not least boxsets with manufacturing in China need easily 4 months of production time.

 

Nice explanation from Paul, but why not do all that behind the scenes, and THEN say new album is coming out in a couple weeks?

True, what I think is gonna happen sooner than worldwide Wi-Fi is providers offering data plans cheaper and cheaper so that a few years from now that will be the standard - most people will have unlimited internet data with their plans so that's how they will use the streaming services.

Yeah not a fan of Trunk or the show either. Boring, predictable and never really dug deep during interviews always stayed kind of superficial and therefore no big loss

Oh yes, once the campagin is up make sure you let us know in ''AOR and Hard Rock'' as well I think that way you'll reach a lot of people on here who liked your album, myself included. Good luck with everything!

I don't have that problem but friends with kids tell me diapers are costing them a small fortune. Also I think if you work in the city and have to eat lunch somewhere it's almost impossible to find a place with reasonable prices. Sure it's not a ''household'' item but it's everyday

New pic of Axl:

 

 

Damn Axl..... you look like a lesbian "butch".

He's got that Don Dokken thing going on

 

Agreed! Really good!

Thanks very much!

 

Please spread the word guys!

 

Big love

Any new material in the works?

Oh yeah, as soon as I read ''Eisley'' I was on board!

I'm fairly new to the genre of AOR and would like for people to recommend me albums that they may think that I would like

 

My favorite artists are:

 

Early Queen

 

Robby Valentine

 

Valensia

 

Mark Lee

 

and City Boy

 

I also like more classic AOR like Strangeways and Toto

 

 

Don't know half the bands YOU mentioned but try british band FM, especially their first two albums ''Indiscreet'' and ''Though It Out''

Don't know, it's quite good. If the rest of the songs stay in the same style and don't go into blues too much this could be good

I guess around February / March 2016, but heaven't heard anything official so far

With the recent events in Paris media and governments have asked for stricter security measures at concerts. What's your experience how have security and security checks been at concerts you've been to?

Also have you ever felt unsafe at a show for some reason?

Definitely! Granted, I was wasted beyond belief but it was so worth it

 

Last night in Dusseldorf was AMAZING, so glad I went!! Even saw Mick and Nikki at the airport today (separately that is, of course)

Who was opening?

Alice Cooper

Last night in Dusseldorf was AMAZING, so glad I went!! Even saw Mick and Nikki at the airport today (separately that is, of course)

kinda cool, but also kinda gay and WTF are they sayin in between songs???

 

no but seriously it's not bad they might be on to something is there a full length coming out?

HAHAHAHA, that's Swiss German for you my friend. A lot of people unfamiliar with the language think it sounds like Arabic

From what I've heard no album planned yet. Apparently these guys all go to uni and already had trouble finding the time (and money) to record this EP. Hope they release an album though and maybe step it up a little next time. But I think for a debut it's not bad

I already disliked their Signal cover, really butchered that one and their own song is nothing special either. This is too ''heavy'' or dark sounding and is missing the class and feeling I usually associate with and love about AOR

I was at this band's record release party recently. This is their debut EP with 6 songs offering a nice blend of sleaze / glam / hard rock:

1. Never Die

2. Nice Boys Play Hard

3. She's On Fire

4. Cock Your Guns

5. Time Has Come

6. Shit On The Wall

Here's a preview of all the songs:

Did a lot of skipping during the second half when i had a quick listen yesterday. From what i understand a lot of people on here don't like ''man enough'' but i thought it was good on first listen. Groovy bass line and cool chorus with the guitars coming in... Maybe it wears off quickly though
