BREAKING NEWS: Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the signing of a great new AOR/Melodic Rock band from Örnsköldsvik, Sweden: Perfect Plan.

The band formed in late 2014 and has been busy writing songs and honing their craft ever since. Perfect Plan music came to the attention of Frontiers Music Srl in the spring of 2017 and the label was immediately excited by the musical mixture of classic Scandinavian AOR (think Work of Art, Treat, early Europe) with nods to legends like Giant, Foreigner, and Journey. Their debut album will include influences from both the modern and classic AOR/Melodic Rock of the 80’s.

The band features the extraordinary new singer Kent Hilli together with Rolf Nordström on guitar, P-O Sedin on bass, Fredrik Forsberg on drums. and Leif Ehlin on keyboards.

Kent Hilli says, “I am so proud and happy to be a part of this journey together with my dear friends in Perfect Plan and i really hope to see you all soon at a stage somewhere. Remember, everything is possible if you want it bad enough!”

Rolf Nordström adds, “I'm really excited and pleased with our debut album and I'm looking forward to this journey together with my great mates in the band!”

[The Rocker 7]

When you State "think One Desire, W.E.T., Treat,  it better be halfway decent!

[Stefan 52]

First song released.

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.

The one band which was accurate was recent FM.

Safe as houses....and just as dull.

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.

+1000

I don't mind it,but as stated id like to hear the material with more edge before a complete judgement.

[Mr.AOR 12]

Love it...

[Invisible_man 3]

very good song!

[Crazysam 15]

Nice tune

[Dead Planet 11]

Yeah that is a nice song....

[Stefan 52]

New song.

 

 

[tts42572 12]

Not too bad....good song.

Agree with the "safe" comments though.  While it sounds just fine I'm not sure this is really exciting me.

[lettard 38]

Reminds me of Chris Ousey

[Crazysam 15]

I liked the first song, but this new one doesn't do much for me

[Geoff 75]

They sound like a good band... just a bit 50/50 as to whether the songs will really speak to me and lick my balls. 

[Invisible_man 3]

good stuff!

[Stefan 52]

New song.

Exactly how I feel.  

Really good AOR that many will like but not enough edge to it for me.

[Crazysam 15]

Nice tune, they may be a bit safe as some have mentioned, but enjoyable enough that I plan on checking out the full album when it gets released

[Invisible_man 3]

I like this a lot, very engaging songs with good vocals
