Stefan Posted June 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) New video for 'Hit The Ground'. From Frontiers: Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to welcome Streetlight to the label family for the release of their new album, "Ignition". An AOR/Melodic Rock band from Jonkoping, Sweden, Streetlight stays true to the genre, delivering distinctive melodies, punchy choruses and strong hooks. Influenced heavily by bands like Journey, Toto, Kansas and Def Leppard, Streetlight creates music that is fun to listen to, melodic and guitar driven, with a sound that reminds you of the times when AOR was at its peak. But Streetlight does not see melodic rock as just a relic from the past. It’s more than nostalgia and music for the here and now. The band's story began in 2021, when Erik Tilling, a guitar player and good friend of singer Johannes Häger, saw that his childhood heroes Journey were recording a new album. He got this crazy idea to send a demo to the band and subsequently wrote the song 'Overjoyed'. He asked Johannes to sing on the demo, and also to mix the track. Erik was able to get in touch with Journey’s vocalist Arnel Pineda, who had only good things to say about the song, though it was not used by the band at the end of the day. Erik and Johannes decided to release the track themselves, and also co-write and release a second song, 'Stay' under the band name Streetlight. They started sending the songs to different labels. Several companies expressed interest, but they decided on working with Frontiers Music Srl, not only because Journey is on the same label, but also because, stylistically, Frontiers is a perfect fit for Streetlight’s music. Soon after they signed with the label, Erik decided to leave the band, due to lack of availability to dedicate himself fully to the band Streetlight now consists of vocalist and guitarist Johannes, guitarist Filip Stenlund, keyboardist John Svensson, drummer Erik Nilsson, and bassist Johan Tjernström. All the members have musical backgrounds as members and/or session musicians in different bands, including Bullock Hearts, Harmony, Ole Börud, and Narnia, among others. Johannes Häger is the primary songwriter and also recorded and produced Streetlight's debut album ”Ignition”. A full-time music producer in Sweden, Johannes has been a fan of melodic and hard rock through the years, and spent his teenage years playing in different rock bands in Jakobstad, Finland, where he originally is from. But since that time, he hasn’t had the chance to release any music of his own in the genre he loves until now with Streetlight. Tracklisting: 1. Hit The Ground 2. Chutes And Ladders 3. Stay 4. Love Riot 5. Closer 6. Caught Up In A Dream 7. Awake 8. Fire Burnin' 9. Overjoyed 10. Words For Mending Hearts 11.

Thomas/Coastline Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 What's the difference between Snakes and Ladders and Chutes and Ladders? They're basically the same game. Snakes and Ladders originated in ancient India. The British brought it to Europe in the 1890's. Milton Bradley began selling it in the United States in the 1940's as Chutes and Ladders.

Jez Posted August 15, 2023 Report Share Posted August 15, 2023 Absolutely top AOR album. chock full of excellent songs, including the stunning ballad 'Words For The Mending Hearts'...one of the best i've heard in a long time and the pompy 'Malibu Pier'. It's nice and varied too, from the more pure AOR style, to the more rockier moments of 'Fire Burnin' and 'Love Riot''. .along with the fantastic Creye album, the best AOR album of the year so far 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
