:lol: What's with the 80 year old on the far right of the photo?

 

Wow mate, killer find. 'Too late' reminds me of Wildstreet (or of course Def Leppard) and that seems to be their style. Man, this is awesome - how good is 'Superhero??!!' Do they have a physical CD?

 

Another awful band name, but absolutely killer music. 'Shot in the dark' is great too... they probably all are.

Yeah, no cd yet, but looks imminent. The first single is available as a digital download via itunes.

Yeah, they sound fine, very much like a modern Def Leppard. Songs are reasonable, but is there anything new here? Is there an original tune? I'm not too sure. I thought 'Shot In The Dark' was nice, but the other songs just seemed like I'd heard it all before.

And who, in 2011, has recorded something new? ;)

 

Mate, it had all been said and done before back in 1986 but it doesn't mean there haven't been a million bands since that have still made it worthwhile. :lol:

Fair enough, I just thought the tunes here were really basic and generic, moreso than a lot of others. It's perfectly listenable, but would get boring very quickly imo.

Impossible to tell from short samples....but didnt sound boring to me. Just great pop/rock.

Doods, these guys are worth being excited about. Talk about a f*ck around to get an album out there, though. These guys have been around for about 5 years now and every song I've randomly heard so far has been fantastic. Hopefully it all comes together for them and this CD is as fantastic as it should be - a real great 80's hard rock sound with a healthy dose of Def Leppard influence. It should be a good 'un.

"What IS original? I'm not going to bang two badger carcasses together and recite poetry and say, 'Hey, here's the new thing....'" - Chris Robinson, on his band The Black Crowes being dismissed as Aerosmith and Faces clones, 1991

    • No official release yet so don't know when exactly the album is supposed to come out but I'm assuming it's this year. I'm sure you're all brimming with excitement.
    • I posed him that exact question on his discord page as to what his future plans are.... He said he plans to relax for a bit, do his You Tube thing, keep writing new music and then will decide how to release that music.  He said as of now he's thinking he'll either do a solo thing or form his own band.  He didn't say this but I'd sort of envision a Daughtry type "band" where he kind of puts a band behind his name. So essentially, I think you're right on with his plans.  Ultimately, I think like you say, the control is a big part of it.  I think he wants to be able to operate on his own schedule to maintain his health and family obligations. It'll be interesting to see what sound the new material takes on.  It would seem logical to think it would be rock/melodic rock of some sort since that's really the type of music he's built his following with but he certainly has shown he can dabble anywhere from AOR to metal.
    • Glad I got to see them with Erik in front. All the best to him, definitely looking forward to his future outings when he is fully recovered. Would be cool to see him form his own band, where he could take control, and play around in different genres, from full on metal, to soothing AOR, the guy is so versatile.
    • Remedy - Crying Heart. One I've just seen thanks to the Iridium channel.  From the upcoming album. It's a Killer.     
    • Let's not forget Benny Hill. What a Magnificent show that was.    
    • Yeah... I dunno about that. It would be too cringe. Who knows? If I'm high enough, I might submit a video. 
    • Yep great track and if you fancy being in the video for "The Feeling" nows your chance.  
    • I'm proud to say that I had this single when I was a mere 8 years old. KISS were big down here then. Norman Gunston is Iconic for Aussies of my vintage.  The face ln the bottom left says it all. Hilarious.     
    • All in all, this is a great story. Erik played a brilliant, well received, albeit short cameo with one of our favourite bands.  It was a win, win, win. A win for us, a win for Skid Row (the album certainly put them back on the map) and a win for Erik, adding this to his already impressive resume. The fact that it was so amicable with both parties is also great to see.
    • I really like this album - not every song on it but there are some surprisingly catchy melodies all over. Personally I think the singer adds great energy to the mix. It reminds me of the earlier Bai Bang ("closer to you")
