Yeah! More of the same...

 

...but with a different vocalist. 

Exactly where I'm at on this....

The music is outstanding and it sounds like something I should really like but I've totally soured on Strandell's vocals.  I don't know what it is exactly...tone, accent....tough to say exactly what bothers me but his vocals almost make me cringe.

It's odd because I dug Art Nation when I first heard it but somewhere along the line Strandell's voice started to annoy me.

I'll probably still check the album out just for the heck of it but not expecting it to do much for me.

I've said this before, but I think Strandell has a lot of potential to be a really good singer, but he has some tendencies and inconsistencies that hold him back from doing so.

His vocals are very hit-and-miss for me, personally. There are tracks that I love and there are some that are just automatic skips (because of his vocal tracks -- though lyrics are usually a component, too), and there is rarely anything in between.

Interesting commentary on all this. I'm not sure what all the fuss about the vocals is about and I don't really care to be honest. I just thought the songs were all pretty average. I was hoping for one keeper as I feel like it deserves to have at least one contribution to my 2023 playlist... but it's a pass for me. 'Juliette' was my favourite track, but still not a keeper, imo.

his vocals are so accented , that's a massive pass for me. Only listened to 1 song lol

    • FireHouse officially name Nate Peck as their new full-time frontman and lead vocalist Metal Sludge — News from the FireHouse camp as they announce their new lead vocalist. Fans of FireHouse and our readers here at Metal Sludge are all aware of the unfortunate news of CJ Snare‘s sad passing back in April and now the band have named his replacement. The band had been performing with fill-in vocalist Nate Peck since 2023 when Snare had to take a leave to deal with medical issues and surgery. Now the band are embracing the move forward and have officially named Nate Peck as their new frontman and vocalist. Read the band’s full statement below as was shared on their social media.     Nate Peck and FireHouse paying tribute to CJ Snare   **AMERICAN ROCK BAND FIREHOUSE ANNOUNCES NEW VOCALIST, NATE PECK** With the untimely passing of CJ Snare, American rock band, FireHouse, has officially announced their new lead vocalist, Nate Peck. Peck, 2023 American Idol golden ticket recipient, performed an outstanding audition for Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie. Richie praised Nate’s performance saying, “That was brilliant…The best rock singer EVER that we’ve had. You’ve got it!” Katy Perry looked to the sky and said, “Actually, he’s SO good!” High praises from all 3 judges got him unanimous consent to move onto the next level of the competition. Peck ultimately decided to leave the show to pursue his career in music his own way: playing live music in Nashville’s booming rock scene and guest singing with national artists like Jack Russell’s Great White. Peck was first introduced to Bill Leverty by Jack Russell’s Great White guitarist, Robbie Lochner. Leverty explained, “When I first heard Nate’s vocal range, tone and control, I immediately knew that he’d be the perfect fit, filling in for CJ who was recovering from surgery. I advocated hard to get Nate out to play at New England Rockfest in October of 2023. He learned our songs very quickly and absolutely crushed it at the show. I then sent some video to CJ and he agreed saying, THAT’S the guy!” CJ and Nate immediately became very good friends. According to Peck, “CJ and I would talk regularly, a few times a week. He would give me vocal coaching, advice on touring and life in general. He was definitely a great mentor for me.” Peck has been singing with FireHouse since October of 2023, wowing audiences around the country. “I am honored to be working with these guys and singing these great songs.” FireHouse music will stand the test of time. Catch them on tour performing their hits “Love of a Lifetime”, “When I Look Into Your Eyes”, “Don’t Treat Me Bad”, “All She Wrote”, “Reach for the Sky”, “Shake and Tumble” and many more, bringing the fans the melodic hard rock they’ve loved for decades. https://metalsludge.tv/firehouse-officially-name-nate-peck-as-their-new-full-time-frontman-and-lead-vocalist/

    • Down To Earth-Rainbow 
    • Have guys heard this yet? It's pretty incredible. 
    • Taylor's back. Really nice tunes.       
    • New singles out. Love them.  Nostalgia   Someone Who's Trying  
    • Another band with just two full length albums and one EP in their entire discography, but man, the songs sound like a million bucks. So many gems. Am not sure if they have already been mentioned here at some point but for those interested and never heard of them before, this won't disappoint you.  This first track got a strong 'Get A Grip' album vibe to it.
