TOKYO - ST [Yesterrock remaster + bonus] (2011)

TOKYO - ST [Yesterrock remaster + bonus] (2011)

*

TOKYO were founded in the early '80s in Frankfurt, Germany, by the studio musician and songwriter Robby Musenbichler (vocals, guitar), together with Ken Taylor (vocals, bass), Fritz Matzka (drums) and Lothar Krell (keyboards) who previously had been part of the Michael Wynn Band and Supermax.
The combo completed the line-up with vocalst Klaus Luley (who later founded Craaft).

TOKYO went on rehearsing for a half year before they started to play their first live gigs. The band took the crowd by storm with a strong stage presence – with three singers, twin guitars, tasty keyboards and a pumping drum sound.
Their first and self-titled release "Tokyo" was released in 1981 and immediately stormed the central Europe charts.
The title track "Tokyo" became a rock classic and received tremendous airplay in every rock club and radio station. Until today, this track still appears on many '80s compilations.

Tokio plays classic Melodic Rock / AOR with prominent keyboards plus strong melodious guitars, and their songs are constructed around catchy choruses. Curiously, being a German band, their style is pretty Americanized in the vein of Balance and alikes.
This debut has a surprinsingly modern, fresh and high quality production, even today, after so many years, doesn't sounds dated at all.
Apart from the hit "Tokyo", the rest of the album mantains a high standard with no fillers in sight.
"Cryin`" has that magical early eighties atmosphere including wonderful AOR stacatto keyboards, "Girl" rocks with melody, the catchy "We Are The Times" is made for the radio, and "Father Of Time" has an L.A. scent.
One of my definitive favorites is the awesome midtempo "Carry On" layered with great harmonic vocals and a consistent guitar line through it.


After three successful albums, all Tokio members decided to put the band on hold to form their own projects.
Klaus Luley founded the prime AOR masters Craaft, while Robby Musenbichler, Ken Taylor & Lothar Krell glued into another German AOR wonder; JoJo.
But in the middle, Tokyo continued to record some material sporadically.
Now, thanks to the Yesterrock label, we can listen those previously unreleased tunes, plus some fresh new material from Tokyo. Yesterrock has remastered all the three albums, releasing them at the end of last year for the first time on CD.
This one, the self titled "Tokyo" includes 7 great bonuses.
"Young Kids In Love", "The Time Is Right", "Behind The Faces" and "On My Mind" have been recorded during the '80s. Robby Musenbichler, who today owns a studio near Graz in Austria, has re-produced these takes between 1995 and 2004.
The tracks "Carry On", "Cryin`" and "Girl" are newly recorded versions of the originals – both technically and musically up to date.
I'd say that this CD is a more than recommendable fine slice of pure '80s AOR / Melodic Rock, essential in any collection of fans of the genre.

STEVE AUGERI - Photograph +3 (2012)

*

Ex Journey STEVE AUGERI, to promote his inclusion into the new super group live concept 'Legends: Voices Of Rock', is re-relasing two singles published last year recorded with the Steve Augeri Band.
'Legends: Voices Of Rock' is now touring Japan, featuring Augeri amongst the AOR cream vocalists such as Bobby Kimball, J L Turner, Mickey Thomas, Bill Champlin, Fergie Frederiksen and top musicians as Tommy Denander, Sayit Dolen and Pontus Engborg to name a few.

Together with the singles "Photograph" and "Riverside" (previously only available in the USA), we have two newly recorded songs from Steve Augeri's forthcoming solo album 'In The Moment', to be released (TBA) later this year.
Judging the quality of the new material (pretty Journey influenced), this will be a release to keep an eye on.

JOHN 5 - God Told Me To (2012)

JOHN 5 - God Told Me To (2012)

*

To be released on May 8, "God Told Me To" is the sixth solo studio album from the Rob Zombie and ex-Marilyn Manson guitar player, John William Lowery, aka JOHN 5.

The first and remarkable impression is the bizarre cover artwork (painted by Rob Zombie itself), where we can see John using the same kind of aesthetics as in his current band.
I think this artwork is a mistake, as gives at first glance an erroneous idea of the music inside: includes John's well-known and loved blend of electric shred guitar, but also his newly found acoustic guitar sensibility.
In fact, the album is split roughly half and half electric/acoustic, deliberately contrasting the aggressiveness and rockin' attack of certain tracks with the grace and gentleness of others.
"God Told Me To" really defies any genre, drives you to an amazing musical trip and showcases one of the most talented and underrated modern guitarists.

The CD opens with an instantly recognisable John 5 song, the volcano eruption-like "Welcome To Violence", a true definition of face-melting guitar shredding, and an exploding riff played at super-human speed. Perfect execution and awesome in every way.
Next is an extremely well performed cover of Michael Jackson's "Beat It", draped in darkly aggressive playing, with Steve Lukather’s riff strangled to gain even more feeling out of it. It’s clear John 5 loves the original, this isn’t played for kitsch value, underpinned most by the intact note-for-note playing of Eddie Van Halen solo.
It’s with "Ashland Bump" that the mask slips to show another shade of John 5’s psyche, and signifies one of the many sides the album offers up. An acoustic, swamp picking blues, named after a river spanning Fox creek. It's obvious John5 is having fun here, showing elements to his playing maybe not readily shown in other projects.

It’s a dicing up of one track to another, moving from acoustic back to more familiar territory that’s the slow injection of what John5 can do.
"Killafornia" is a dynamic killer tune, one of the most accomplished tracks of the record, in both playing and execution. It sounds like a crossover between Quake‘s soundtrack and a 7Up ad, all blended with superb artistry.
"The Castle" has acoustically picked passages and guitar knuckle parts, a beautifully melodic piece, continually building in momentum and feel.
On "The Hill of the Seven Jackals" John 5 shows a deft hand and a amazingly frenetic vibrato, as he makes every note count, even in longer runs there a real danger and wildness to his playing.

The albums tone takes another route again, with the flamenco feel of "Noche Acosador" reminiscent of Al Di Meola, standing out for very different reasons, a door opened into another part of John 5’s playing, and one worth pursuing. It's fluid and pulsating, with nuances to the fore and an air of subtle menace slipping through the gradations of its darker hues.
One of my favorites is "The Lust Killer" which seems composed for a John Carpenter '80s horror movie taken to the next level of awesomeness.
"The Lie You Live" is a terrific intimate acoustic piece in the Steve Stevens style, while it is impossible not to surrender to the magnetism and essence of closer "Creepy Crawler".


Read this carefully: this CD isn't another boring instrumental guitar album.
A complaint often charged against guitarists instrumental albums is that they lack feel and heart. Well, it's not the case with "God Told Me To".
The mix between acoustic and electric tracks is truly stimulating, with each song hitting the point. This album has perfect dynamics of tension-building and resolve, mixed with subtle tonalities and powerful blockbuster-type sections.
One of my favorite instrumental guitar albums of all time is Steve Steven's 'Flamenco a Go-Go'. Let me tell you that "God Told Me To" ranks on par with it.
"God Told Me To" is a very addictive record that surpases its status of instrumental album. It's aggressive yet melodic, thrilling yet enchanting, provocative and plenty of emotions. But fundamentally, full of unique songs.
Very Recommended.

MY DYNAMITE - My Dynamite (2012)

MY DYNAMITE - My Dynamite (2012)

*

If you take the best ingredients of Free, Bad Company, Aerosmith, Mick Taylor-era Stones, Humble Pie and Faces, throw in a little Zeppelin and give it a good shake what kind of album would you have? 'Southern Harmony and Musical Companion' by The Black Crowes perhaps?
"My Dynamite", the eponymous debut of these young Melbourne groove kings, may well also fit the description.

This debut from My Dynamite is probably the first release in some 20 years that for me has really captured the essence of the good, old fashioned Classic Rock.
If you dig any of the bands referred to, then I simply cannot fathom how you could not totally get immersed in this release.
Opening with a cool groove and pithy soloing, "Take It Or Leave It" leads off with a take no prisoners rock 'n roll attittude that conjures up images of dark, smoky nightclubs where serpentine, bare chested rockers in leather jeans once held court.

It’s all familiar territory but it’s territory we love to revisit when it sounds this good. The follow up tracks "Inside Out" and "If We're Livin`" maintain the feel and the interplay between guitarists Jorge Balas and Benny Wolf is pretty damn tasty.
Singer Pat Carmody is an amazing vocal stylist, recalling the smooth-as-gravel-dipped-in-honey vocals of giants of the genre like Steve Marriot, Chris Robertson and seventies Rod Stewart.
It's on tracks like "If We're Livin'", "Dirty Game", "Watch Yourself Grow" and the anthemic sing-along "Raise Your Glasses" however where his vocal is more reminiscent of a younger, Bourbon fueled, East-era Jim Barnes.

Just over half way through My Dynamite is the bluesy album set piece "Singing Stormy Weather", a slow burning ballad of classic proportions, full of impassioned vocals and ballsy guitar work.
It's followed by rootsy yet still highly melodic piece "Big Attraction", while "All that She Brings" will make you want to take your car for a long drive with the windows down and the volume cranked way up.
Getting their swamp on for the closer, My Dynamite deliver some cajun spiced, almost-zydeco in the shape of "Fork in Your Tongue". It's a number that shows the range they are capable of and whets the appetite for more.

In a perfect world, the self titled debut from My Dynamite would be lighting up the charts, with many of the songs in constant play on both radio and satellite music channels, easily becoming the feel good rock album of the summer of 2012.
Well, we all know that's probably not going to happen, but it's a damn shame because My Dynamite is one hell of a brilliant Classic Rock album.
Clocking in at 10 tracks and just over 40 minutes, where the band may have had a tendency to - and are clearly more than capable of - jamming out some songs, they’ve instead opted for an album of punchy, hip shaking killer rock.
R'nR is alive and well in Australia, do yourself a favor, don't miss "My Dynamite".
Highly Recommended.

CRAAFT - Second Honeymoon [remastered +3] (2012)

CRAAFT - Second Honeymoon [remastered +3] (2012) yesterrock

*

"Second Honeymoon" (or just 'Craaft' in the US) was the second album from German rockers CRAAFT, released originally in the endearing period of classic Melodic Rock / AOR back in the '80s.
2012 sees the band reanimated thanks to the Yesterrock label with "Second Honeymoon" re-released with a remastered sound and an additional trio of demo bonus tracks.

"Second Honeymoon" is a killer album from start to finish.
Kicks off in a rather typical melodic fashion, the type of thing that's expected from an album from the aforementioned golden years, with greatr vocal passages amidst the chugging guitars and keyboards on 'Run Away'.
This new expanded version of 'Second Honeymoon' is brought right up to date though with the benefit of the remastering, with tunes like "Twisted Up All Inside" and "Chance Of Your Life" all shining through in the modern day.

The big ballad "Jane" should have sold million copies, as it is the typical big chorus type of tune that has become so essential for commercial purposes.
The rockin' sounds return with the guitar driven "Gimme What You Got" which evolves into an anthemic song with it's catchy chorus and of course the obligatory keyboards, which in some ways is THE main element for any harmonic Euro-AOR offering.
This parp attack also introduces "Running On Love", a bouncy kinda foot stomper of a track, and the Craaft guys are even including some heavy-funk stuff that played such a large part in rock during the MTV glory days on "Hey Babe".

We have another chugging hooky tune in the form of "Illusions" and then it's time for the well crafted piano ballad "Don't You Know What Love Can Be" with a very nice  choral progression.
"Are You Ready To Rock" meanwhile is another big sounding singalong song, and just as "Right To Your Heart" seems to be slipping into that album filler slot, these guys pull yet another infectious hooky chorus out of the bag.
The catchy and cleverly mixed "Don't Stop To Rock" offers once again more great harmonies and arrangements, whilst the awesome midtempo AOR of "Something For Nothing" ends the original album in great form.
This re-issue comes with the 1987 demos "Long, Long Time", "Break Away" and "Take It Easy", all great additions to this album with their melodic euro-rock overtones and making this whole package something of a hidden gem of the oft overcrowded '80s Melodic Rock / AOR scene.


Along with Bonfire's 'Fireworks', in my humble opinion, CRAAFT's "Second Honeymoon" is the best Melodic Hard Rock / AOR album to come out of Germany during the '80s.
If you like your melodic rock to be solidly built with catchy choruses and damn good playing then you will love this CD. You have great hooks, big choruses, tons of synths, sharp guitars and those grandiose compressed drums.
Another cracker of a re-release from Yesterrock with a superb sound.
A Must Have album for any '80s Melodic Rock / AOR fan.

JEREMEY FREDERICK - Every Little Thing (2012)

JEREMEY FREDERICK - Every Little Thing (2012)

*

“I became a prince and a pauper within a matter of days. Welcome to the music business.” This quote comes from singer Jeremey Frederick Hunsicker, reflecting upon his near-miss with melodic rock giants Journey.
Known for being the lead vocalist with Frontiers, the only nationally touring, full-time Journey tribute band in the US, when Jeremey was contacted by Journey's Neil Schon in 2007 to move forward with the band as their new lead vocalist and front man, he had no idea the dramatic turn his life would soon take.
While the opportunity didn't pan out as expected, his time with Journey resulted in a co-writing credit on the band's Platinum selling 2008 release 'Revelation'.

Rather than build on that milestone as a sound-a-like, however, Jeremey began an exploration of his own voice and melodic influences.
The result is his 2012 solo debut "Every Little Thing". There is a common thread throughout the CD that draws inevitable comparisons to bands like Journey and the power-pop sensibilities of The Outfield (John Spinks, founding member and guitarist of The Outfield, appears on two of the ten tracks), but also we have here an eclectic collection of diverse wonderful sounds.
Also making their mark are Eric Ragno (Takara, Talon) on keyboards and Vic Rivera (Ted Poley, AdrianGale) on guitars & drums, featured on most of the songs, delivering their class and experience to the recording.

The album’s first three tracks and its closing statement – two uptempo melodious rockers and a brace of power ballads – certainly fit the melodic rock profile, but this CD takes an interesting path through the melodic rock landscape. With a couple of musical detours included for good measure.
"Can’t You See He’s Gone" announces itself in fine style with Frederick’s a cappella vocal chorus before punching into a vibrant, up-tempo tale of young love where the dream failed to live up to the reality.
The 2nd song is the title track "Every Little Thing", an infectious, feel-good light rock number that carries melodic rock DNA in its make-up but, like the opener, has little touches that separate it from the pack.
"Stay" is the first of two rock ballads on the CD, and has a husky vocal over piano opening, but its chunky guitar chords and beefed-up vocal chorus’ makes it different from the more predictable ballad form. It’s also a track where the Perry influences are very much present and accounted for, in this case the vocal phrasings where some vowels are accentuated in much the same way Perry did in his later Journey’s and latter solo period.

As said, this album has eclectic influences as well. Next track "Lotus" has a light, fun and groovy vibe and is more pop than rock, driven by vocal, keyboards and percussion with guitars in the background.
"I Think I Know" is one of the tracks that comes out of left field to give the album a musical twist. Built around a bluesy beat and groove, it has a cinematic quality running right through it. It works so well that has become a personal favorite.
If "What Can I Do" sounds like the best song The Outfield never wrote, then you’re half right... John Spinks, primary songwriter and guitarist of the British trio, co-wrote the song with Frederick and between them have created as fine a three minutes of midtempo melodic rock as you're likely to hear. The trademark Outfield sound is courtesy of Spinks guesting on guitars.

"Hoping For You" is another highlight, thanks to the arrangement which makes the voice – and voices – the featured instruments. There is an ethereal quality to the song and the choral backings shape the sound with their rise and fall while the lead vocal creates the mood. Another Steve Perry comparison to be made here, those familiar with Perry’s ‘Missing You’ will notice a similar vocal feel and resonance.
"Goodnight Song" is a cover of a Tears For Fears song, made in a relaxed melodic rock way, and fits the rest of the material perfectly.
Last track, the ballad "This Is Your Life", preceded by the instrumental intro "Prelude (Jeremiah 1-5)", is unashamedly a traditional vocal and piano ballad at its heart, but it builds in instrumentation and power to become a striking closing statement. Maybe Frederick’s most emotive vocal on the entire CD.


"Every Little Thing" is an accomplished and fresh slice of melodic rock complete with a few musical twists and influences.
Jeremey Frederick is definitely doing his own thing here, but the Perry comparisons are inevitable. Ironically, Perry also puts some diverse tracks on his solo records, much to the frustration of the record labels looking for a by-the-numbers Journey release.
This album displays Jeremy's versatility as a songwriter and a singer, with a melodious tenor voice plenty of refinements. The overall feel here recalls Steve Perry's solo albums and Journey's 'Trial By Fire'. It's got stuff that shows you what a great fit he could have been in Journey instead of Arnel Pineda.
"Every Little Thing" was self-recorded and managed by Jeremey, the production could be much better, but the quality of the songs and the musical performances of all the personnel involved is first class.
Really Good.

RYDELL & QUICK - R.O.A.D.T.R.I.P. (2012)

RYDELL & QUICK - R.O.A.D.T.R.I.P. (2012)

*

With nearly 250 gigs a year and about 4000 completed live concerts since their formation in the late nineties, RYDELL & QUICK is the most touring rock band in Sweden.
Their statistics are more than impressive for a band that so often - well, almost never - has appeared in the media.

Occurs that Rydell & Quick are a self-managed band in all aspects, and their main motto is playing live, and this fact is precisely why the band's popularity is immense in Scandinavia.
Something that many 'big rock acts' should learn: go and play everywhere, and your fan base will grown at grand scale.
This is a highly professional combo, both musically and on stage; they have their own crew, their custom designed light towers, PA system, trailers with Rydell & Quick-design. The whole package.
After several singles, the band's full length debut in 2006 remained 8 weeks in a row on the local Top 40.

Now, Rydell & Quick have released last week their brand new album "R.O.A.D.T.R.I.P.", which has landed directly in the 3rd place on the Scandinavian general music chart, and #1 in the Rock chart.
And what kind of rock plays Rydell & Quick? This is feel-good, catchy Euro Melodic Hard Rock.
Christer Rydell on vocals & guitar and the sensual Malin Quick adding cool rockin' sax fills and backing vocals, have created a solid rock sound that echo such bands like Y&T, Whitesnake and Gotthard, but much more simple and unpretentious; this is fun music, with short and effective songs.


"R.O.A.D.T.R.I.P." is a fun rockin' album, with sing-along songs to crank while you're driving your car or enjoy riding your motorcycle as Rydell & Quick do (they're officially sponsored by Harley-Davidson).
As said, the songs are simple but extremely catchy, with Rydell singing in the classic rock way and playing straight ahead melodic riffs, complemented by Quick's rocking sax play and harmonic vocals.
Production is first rate with a big, anthemic sound provided by the experienced Tobias Lindell (Europe, Atomic Kitten).
An enjoyable Melodic Rock album that puts a smile on your face and will definitely get your motor running.
Recommended.

ROADMASTER - Fortress [remastered] (2012)

ROADMASTER - Fortress [remastered] rock candy (2012)

*

Indiana's ROADMASTER were a highly skilled quintet who masterfully blended AOR and Pomp Rock with subtle ease.
After touring with bands like Molly Hatchet, Angel, Michael Stanley Band and others, Mercury Records stepped in and signed the band in 1978, releasing a couple of albums with a polished sound not unlike Styx or Morningstar.
By 1980, the band was fully entrenched in the AOR craze spawned by bands like Foreigner, Journey, Survivor, The Babys, etc.

That year, "Fortress" was released and is widely considered the band's creative peak, plenty of urgent hooks and catchy choruses.
Still retaining the Pomp AOR flavor, this album is more focused on sharp edged guitar playing with a full-on melodic hard rock attack.
With Steve McNally’s signature voice making the most of the melodies and Rick Benick’s guitar work providing solid gold easy action, the album cruises past the finish line as if they were men hell bent on ripping up the rule book.


Rock Candy is releasing the long awaited reissues of Roadmaster's 'Sweet Music', 'Hey World' and 'Fortress' albums on CD for the very first time, as usual, with a superb 24-bit remastering from original source tapes.
Roadmaster was simply another one of those bands whose name you should've heard alot more than you actually did.
Check out this slick slice of '80s arena rock, you won't be disappointed. A must have for any AOR purist.
Highly Recommended.
