Another very nice album. Favourites are 'Brooklyn.Friday.Love', 'Heartbeat', 'Heart Worth Breaking' and this beautiful song...

Isn't this exactly the same as before? Only Frontiers got to stamp their logo at the end? 

Anyway, the song's still awesome, and that guitar solo is still fire! Pretty much exactly what a solo should be: not pointless wankery, but actually musical and elevating.

Also, I can't recall if I asked before, but what happened to the dude's arm? Was it in a cast/arm brace, or did he lose it recently?

Saw them live recently, can confirm its very much intact lol. But I was told he has 2 to 3 fingers missing on one of the hands.

Do I understand the release is only the songs from the album released last year? Would have loved to hear a couple of new songs on it too, personally. 

Yes I think so, the only new material is an acoustic version of their song "Our Fairyland" for Japan.

Debut is an awesome album. Can't wait for new material, but I have to say, I would absolutely love a scenario that involved that second album getting mixed and released to hungry ears. Can't imagine that would be anything but delightfully received by fans of the debut. 

Yes I was gonna write the same thing. Those unreleased materials meant for their follow up album seeing the light of day would be such a great thing.

Yes, I'm the new bassplayer :).

I have asked Ward Dufraimont to answer your question, as he is better suited to reply:

In a nutshell : Expectations were high in 2010 with a debut album out on MelodicRock Records and big dreams, unfortunately the wheels started coming off from the word ‘go’. After losing our permanent drummer and rehearsal space and wasting precious time trying to sort that all out, frustration started to kick in. In an effort to keep moving forward, we recorded a second full length album in 2012, which sits unmixed on a hard-drive somewhere. Sometimes life gets in the way, and we decided to shelve the whole thing before friendships were lost. In 2022, with enough water under the bridge, we are back in full force, with a deluxe reissue of the debut album (out of print for years) to kickstart the whole thing. Playing out as much as we can, opening for the likes of FM, Jelusick, Gun, and others this year, spreading the word. We hope to have a new single out later this year, and more new music next year. A new decade, a new lineup, a fresh start. Nothing’s gonna stop us now !

That's good to hear. The album Vanity Kills was pretty awesome. Some of the songs had bit of modern rock vibe to them which I thought was cool. Yep, hope we get to hear more music from you guys. 

Love these guys. In my opinion, they are more of hard/melodic rock than synthwave. Plenty of guitar riffs and solos. Another killer track, my fave song so far this year. 

My Friday begins with this killer tune

not quite is accordance with the thread, but I saw Vain support Skid Row back in the day and really didn't like them, then years later actually discovered that I liked the debut - it was after Enough Rope was released and I worked backwards.

Also I returned the John Kilzer Memory in the Making cd, but came to love the album but still don't own the cd

Vain, yes it's one band i never really got into it. Just last week I spent about 30 mins listening to their most popular songs, I dont know what it is but the songs dont do much for me. But i do like one of their songs a lot 'No tears for you', and Whisper is pretty good too. And a few I do like to some degree, that's about it.

Tyler's voice has become too whiny. And they've moved away from the sexy, nostalgia-fueled Synthwave to more of a cheap Pop sound. 

Yep it is true that their debut Endless Summer had more nostalgic vibes to it but their other songs arent bad either. Some can argue that their recent stuff, soundwise are more pop than retro-synthwave, but they are pretty melodic and catchy so it works for me.

Man, I think I'm done with this band. 

Lol may I ask you why? Clearly, songs like Sunset and Lost boy failed to captivate you. 

Man, I love that.

Well I must commend whoever was in charge of making that video (Danny Rexon?) because the focus on that butt was appreciated.

Well said. Her butt's blink-and-you-miss-it cameo was the highlight for me 😊. Loved it more than the tune. 

Has a bit of Unruly Child vibe which is good imo. 

Four excellent songs in Perfect Storm, Reason to Die, Too Late, and 100 thousand years. 

Killer

Another band that's as good as Nightly. Chances are it might appeal to you guys.

Yeah, brilliant again. Really need to get up to scratch on these guys. So good. 

Had to laugh, just looking up at the first post where they're described as a duo of two cousins. So who's the poor bastard in the band photo and every single film clip (except 'On your sleeve') that doesn't rate a mention, lol?  

Lol the drummer. 

Another new one

Been listening to it for a week now.. Yep extremely catchy song.

You still haven't said why you believe it was Tommy Lee.

Fates made that statement 

Ok, the singer looks exactly like Dave Mustaine lol and honestly don't like the name of the band as well BUT fortunately the songs are excellent.
