Stefan Posted June 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 From Frontiers: BREAKING NEWS: Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the release of new project featuring singer Steve Overland Official of FM official and Robert Säll of Work of Art & W.E.T. under the monikerGroundbreaker. The self-titled debut will be released on September 14th. Today, the first single and video, "Over My Shoulder" has been premiered, which you can check out below! The album is simply everything that a melodic rock fan could hope for: soaring hooklines, magnificent melodies, amazing musical performances, and in Overland, a stunning vocalist. Mixing the British and Swedish melodic rock/AOR styles, Groundbreaker is truly the best of both worlds and surely destined to be one of the highlights of the year in an already stellar year for melodic rock! GROUNDBREAKER came about when a conversation between Frontiers’ President Serafino Perugino and Overland revealed that the latter was eager to collaborate with new and exciting musicians from the European melodic rock scene. The idea was immediately brought up to involve Robert Sall of Work of Art and use Alessandro Del Vecchio’s production abilities. Overland loved the initial material that was submitted and consequently, they all started to work on songs. The process was very smooth and the final result was so good that everyone thought that the name “GROUNDBREAKER” was the right way to describe the power and the vibe of the music. "I’m the main composer for about half of the songs, but Ale and Steve wrote a lot as well,” tells Robert Sall. “I had to write songs with Steve´s voice in mind and that was new, but very inspiring to me. But for any fan of FM or Work of Art, I think they will be very familiar with the sound of this record!” “The idea for the album was to make a classic AOR album and I think between Robert, Alessandro, Pete Alpenborg and myself, we came up with a great collection of songs,” adds Overland. "I think this is some of the best material I've worked on in a while and all of the musicians on the record are fantastic, not only as players, but to work with. I knew of Robert's writing talents on the Work of Art records, but it really turned out to be a great collaboration and I'm so proud of the results! My personal favourite song on the record is "Will It Make You Love Me.” We’ve shot a video for it and I think it's truly a future classic!" If you like, no LOVE melodic rock, then this is simply a must hear album!

Crazysam Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Solid track, was hoping for a bit of a better chorus though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Groundbreaking they certainly aren't, although Overland sounds great as always..the song..It's good, not great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 I like that song plenty. A mile better than recent FM output Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 I like the most recent FM album - two tracks on there I like a lot. I like this track. It's solid. I hate the band name, LOL. "Groundbreaker"? OK, maybe if you're music is at all unique. Otherwise... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kourosofsteel3 Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 Great opus! And so WOA! This lp sound killer thus far! I guess I'm gonna spend the money I saved from Treat's vinyl/cd on this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazysam Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 New one is better than the first two promo tracks, but still not quite hitting the mark for me. I still intend check out the full album and hopefully I'll enjoy the songs more after a few spins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are at least 4 or 5 killer tracks on the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Gold Donors Mr.AOR Posted September 15, 2018 2023 Gold Donors Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Agree with Glen on this,it's like listening to Tough It Out in 2018 with a hint of WOA for good measure. AWESOME!!! Album and the 2nd best thing I've heard this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lettard Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Totally agree with the Tough It Out for 2018 comparison,its a solid cd,won't bother my top 10 for the year but still a good listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good balance between Sall's guitar and the keyboards. This will almost surely make my top 10, possibly even top 5.

simo Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 Like ''Tough It Out'' you said??? Please don't play with my emotions like that..... need to check it out, hope I won't be disappointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 Jeez this one's nice, innit. The two things it tells me most clearly is ; goodness, I miss WOA. What happened to them? Are they still even a band? Why don't they make music anymore? And the second thing is, where the heck was Sall on the new WET album? I don't hear him at all - just sounds 100% like a Martensson album... but the appeal was meant to be the two of them together. Anyway, on this one - without doubt the best thing Overland's been a part of since 1988. Really great album with stellar production and mostly great songs. The ballad's a bit flat, but the rest is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
