Storm Force is the explosive new band that fans of classic hard melodic rock have all been waiting for.

Led by Canadian rock legends Brighton Rock founder and lead guitarist Greg Fraser and featuring one of today’s most powerful and versatile lead vocalists in Patrick Gagliardi (formerly of Surface Tension), their debut record produced by Darius Szczepaniak (Black Crowes, Sum 41, Big Sugar) combines colossal, crushing melodic rock with hook-laden ballads and massive choruses reminiscent of vintage Cinderella, balanced by classic rock sensibilities of acts like The Who and Van Halen.

The group hails from Niagara Falls, Canada and is rounded out by the blistering one-two punch rhythm section of ex-Panik and Step Echo drummer Brian Hamilton and sought-after session musician and touring bassist Mike Beradelli.

Storm Force’s groundbreaking new record is the result of a rich blend of rock influences spanning Triumph, UFO, Thin Lizzy, Foreigner, and so many more, and will be available on Escape Music worldwide

Damn it, that's my line!  LOL

[Geoff]

Yeah, bit of anyone's guess until we hear sounds, but looks like a possibility. Had no idea Escape Music were still going... 

[Stefan]

First song 'Because Of You:

 

 

[Glen]

songs ok, not massive on the vocals 

[Geoff]

Yeah, that's a pretty harsh vocalist, but decent song. 

[KarpetRydOFunk]

But guys, he's one of today's most powerful and versatile lead vocalists. 

[Tabe]

Mediocre song, mediocre vocals.  Guy sounds like a lesser version of about seven different singers.

[Stefan]

New video for 'Dirty Vegas'.

 

 

[KarpetRydOFunk]

The vocals are less grating here, but the song is less interesting. 

[Geoff]

Not bad. I kinda dig that one. 

[Mafisen]

Love me some riffage so I like this stuff. Album is a good one. 

[Darkstone]

I'm really enjoying this one. Here's a couple of great tracks.

I've given this a few spins now and I fucking love it.
Not sure why more people aren't raving about it, but give it a listen if you like 80's sleazy rock with nice hooks and melodies.

Well, you can add me to the fans list of this killer release.    I had to get the Jap copy with the bonus track.   This is melodic metal that is a breath of fresh air over the endless AOR bands with the same sound.
