Mr. M

Going to check this album out. Never heard these guys before.

I've got the vinyl on preorder. When I first heard these guys, I legitimately thought it was HCSS.

That purple vinyl looks sweet. Fits the cover colors as well. Purple vinyl bought

Edit: The production is on point. Seriously, it sounds fantastic. Only if TMF's production was this great.......

Edit2: Talia and How Could I Let You Go sound right out of the 80's. One word: Awesome

Kick ass tune. This album has "summer" written all over it. The singles so far have been very warm/uplifting which I like.

Going to be an awesome album to listen to while driving with the windows down this summer

The single being released tomorrow....just horrible

Scorp with the inside scoop! Not surprised and why would Frontiers sign them?

Or are they signing everything close to the sun? <--- see what I did there?

First single tomorrow. I don't have any expectations

Never heard of this band till a few weeks ago and I absolutely love this new album. Her voice is full of kick ass and it's melodic as hell while still being heavy.

Any metal bands that have a similar sound to them?

Apologize reminds me of Hinder's material which is a great thing. That southern rock feel

Have the album pre-ordered on vinyl!

Actually not a bad sounding song... but it's not Bonfire in any way whatsoever. I think that if the very same song were being offered by a heretofore unknown band, people would me much more accepting.

I agree. The dude can sing and it's a decent song.

The vinyl revival will only last until all those young urban hipsters who are snorking up LPs right now have to change apartments, and they find out how heavy it is to carry an LP collection from place to place.

Hahahaha! That's a good one. Can't disagree with you there since the urban hipsters despise the gym and only lift craft brews and food

I still think the CD will become extinct in the coming years. Just like vinyl and cassettes...... GONE!

Nah man, vinyl isn't going anywhere. It's actually increasing in popularity.

See here:

and vinyl on track to be a 1 billion dollar industry in 2017 with an estimated 40 million records to be sold:

Companies are even coming out with new record players. It won't ever reach the hysteria of the 80's but its far from gone

If you're a fan of 80's synthwave, look no further than Sunglasses Kid's new album Graduation:

Strong female and male vocals with some guitars thrown in. Straight 80's pop in 2017

Pretty awesome!

Anybody think the cover has a 'Mad Max' feel to it ?

 

well maybe gonna lost in the shuffle, but this album perhaps still worth a spin or two, might ended up around 75% or lower though

Absolutely reminds me of Mad Max. Cool cover.

I'm excited to hear the first samples. Quiet Riot was one of my first experiences in hard rock due to "Cum On Feel the Noize" being on V-Rock on Vice City, over 14 years ago.

I've never listened to their discog but have QR III on now and it sounds good

I dig that cover. Looks retro.

Hoping for a vinyl release

Listened to the s/t in the gym today and the album kicks ass. Upbeat with some great hooks. Looking forward to the new album

Please no whistling.....

It's the new "in" thing to do in 2017

Best album of 2017 right here folks

Wow. They are two fantastic music tracks. I am not overly into the lyrics of the first song, but 'These Dreams' is very nice. Killer music. Yeah, 'These dreams' is really nice.

Agree with Geoff here. These Dreams is a killer track.

I didn't realize this band has put out 2 albums and a single back in 2015. These 2 new singles feature their new guy on vocals. He's an improvement over the last guy

Keeping my eye on this album

New Revolution Saints coming in 2017 according to Frontiers FB!

Loved the debut

New Nickelback announced today with a massive tour.

I'm not sure what the general attitude towards Nickelback is on here but this new single takes it back to their harder stuff

We will see how this turns out

 

Bormann can belt but I need a lyric video for this one

 

That's not Bormann dude!

 

Alexx Stahl of Purple Rising and Roxxcalibur took over when Bormann couldn't immediately join the band. Stahl was supposed to be a temporary fill-in but they liked him so much, he is now the permanent singer.

Oh shit, good call. I read the thread title and figured that was him signing on this single. I've never listened to any of Alexx Stahl's previous work

I have pre ordered

 

Tokyo Motor Fist

House Of Lords

Eclipse

One Desire.

Great list. I'm going to pre-order Eclipse, Night Ranger and One Desire on vinyl. Seems TMF is only going to be on CD.

New single kicks ass. Upbeat and catchy as hell

Bormann can belt but I need a lyric video for this one

H.E.A.T going into the studio to record their new record in early March

Hopefully out later this year and with a vinyl release

Love that cover art. Enjoyed the first single and looking forward to the second single tomorrow

Listened to first three songs today. Sounds surprisingly good. Good guitar work and good hooks

Other thoughts:

Jim's voice can be a little shaky at times. Other times, he belts it out

Great guitar work by Michael and Philip and great keyboards by Flores

Production is fantastic. Flores is a master at this

A very nice laid back piece of melodic rock

Overall: 85%
