Band: Karma Cowboys
PURE HEARTED KICK ASS ROCK’N’ROLL The birth of Copenhagen-based rock-outfit KARMA
COWBOYS was nothing less than miraculous. Because from a rational point of
view the band should never have existed this long after its initial gigs. But
fate – or rather karma – had different plans for the four band members. A video clip for the song "Shine On Tomorrow" can be
found here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6kdM0GcFF4 More audio clips on: /www.myspace.com/karmacowboys |

In 1990 David Reece (ex
ACCEPT) and drummer Rusty Miller were ready to form a heavy
but melodic Rock n Roll band named BANGALORECHOIR in Los Angeles,
USA. A place to look for great guitar players was the GIT in Hollywood,
and so John Kirk and Danny Greenberg were found. Sharing the same musical
vision the writing began. First songs were ‘All or Nothin’ and ‘Slippin
Away’, both on the ‘On Target’ release. While rehearsing, John mentioned the
guitarist Curt Mitchell who had worked with a previous group out of Reno, NV
called RAZORMAID. Rusty Miller and the group parted ways, new
drummer Darek Thomas Cava (ex BRUNETTE) replaced him. After a couple shows the
band had offers from almost every label in town and settled with Giant Records
and recorded ‘On Target’ released 1991/1992. 2010 sees the re-issues of
this record on AOR Heaven. Re-mastered by Martin Kronlund in Sweden, this album
now also includes a video clip of the song “Loaded Gun” as a bonus. BANGALORE
CHOIR are currently record a new album which will be released later this year
on the same label. Track list: 1. Angel in Black 3:28, 2. Loaded
Gun 3:47, 3. If the good die young (we'll live forever) 4:26,
4. Doin’ the Dance 4:09, 5. Hold on to You 4:09, 6. All or Nothin’
3:11, 7. Slippin’ Away 4:08, 8. She can’t Stop 3:40, 9. Freight
Train Rollin’ 3:34, 10. Just one Night 3:47 Soundfiles in advance: BANGALORE CHOIR - Angel

::: GERMUSICA PROMOTION NEWSLETTER 05.01.2010::: STAGE
DOLLS made it onto #1 into the official album charts of their home
country Norway via Sony Music - congratulations to the guys!
26th of February is the
date that everybody with an interest in rock music should make a note of, as
this is the day when Stage Dolls – one of Norway's best bands through more than
a quarter of a century – are releasing their seventh studio album. The title
"Always" underlines that this is a band you always can trust. And
simultaneously with the release, the band can mark the 25th anniversary of
their debut album, "Soldier's Gun". Life on the road has been
almost endless for Stage Dolls since - especially in Norway, but between
concerts the boys have found the time to visit Nidaros Studio – where they made
their earlier records – and the result is their new, in total 7th studio album,
"Always". Torstein Flakne co-produced it with Ronny Wikmark, who also
mixed it with Stage Dolls' former producer, Bjørn Nessjø. The American back-up
singers from their success album "Stage Dolls" are also featured, so
everything suggests a classic Stage Dolls album. STAGE DOLLS - Better Off Pretty

band core of Anders Rydholm, Peter Sundell and Per Svensson are intact and guests on their new album
are Gregg Bissonette, Tim Pierce, Danny Jacobs, Roger
Ljunggren and Kjell Klaesson. "In
2005 we needed a break and to work with other people to develop as musicians.
The core of GRAND ILLUSION started in 1986 (under the name Promotion). A lot of
things has happened during the four years since the break up but now we all
felt that it was time to get back together, have fun and make some great
music. We have never before worked so hard on any album. Just having legends
like Gregg on drums and Tim and Danny on guitar solos feels like magic. The
band formula with strong melodies and over the top vocals are the same",
says Rydholm. We are also
very proud to be back on the label where everything started. Georg Siegl and
AOR Heaven helped us release our first album (PROMOTION – “Not for sale”) back
in 1997 and now we look forward to join the Metal Heaven team. Georg and Monika

band:
State
Of Rock
album:
A
Point Of Destiny
label:
Metal
Heaven
out:
29.01.2010
Four years after the last FRONTLINE studio album „Circles“, time was ripe for STATE OF ROCK, the new band around FRONTLINE guitarist Robby Böbel. “Hutch” Bauer and Rami Ali, two old FRONTLINE comrades, jumped on board, so the only question left open was who could take the place behind the microphone. That was when label boss Georg Siegl pulled the strings and got in contact with Tony Mills (SHY/TNT)... .. After only three demo songs it was clear that the chemistry between the two songwriters, Robby Böbel and Tony Mills, was great. Their strengths complemented each other and pushed them to new horizons. It turned out instantly that this new band is about to become something special!.. .. Their debut album, „A Point Of Destiny”, follows the slogan “75 % FRONTLINE + 25 % SHY = 100 % STATE OF ROCK”, as it combines the qualities of these two classic Melodic Rock bands: melodic vocals by Tony Mills at the times of SHY classics like “Excess All Areas” plus the unique guitar-licks by Robby Böbel... .. In September Tony Mills came to Germany to put final touches on the album. The band used the opportunity and played some showcase-gigs in front of a handpicked audience to emphasize that STATE OF ROCK are a real band and not just another project. “A Point Of Destiny” will be released on January 29th, 2010 – a date that any Melodic Rock fan should mark in his calendar.
The band is: vocals:
Tony Mills, guitars: Robby Böbel, bass: Hutch
Bauer, .. .. drums: Rami Ali

Their forthcoming debut album “Kingdom of Evil” comprises 10 new original songs, featuring cuts like “Conspiracy Theory”, “Second Coming” and “Apocalypse 2012”. .. .. .. .. Rhino states: “I started compiling these songs many years ago but was patiently waiting for the optimum lineup to record and release an album like this. I was introduced to Fefolt, Ellefson and Brosh a couple years back, and they provided the inspiration to forge ahead and complete the album. I think we have something really special for our fans with this new record... .. .. .. Comments vocalist David Fefolt, “I think this album will surprise a lot of people due to its classic metal sound but with such majestic arrangements throughout. The melodic power on this album is definitely a force to be reckoned with!".. .. .. .. Kingdom of Evil will be released January 29th, 2010 on Metal Heaven Records for Europe, with releases in other territories around the world to follow.

::: DARE - "Arc Of The Dawn" - new album available on Legend Records on October 26th, 2009 ::: We are happy to announce that we'll be in charge for the PR for the new DARE album "Arc Of The Dawn" for Europe (outside of the UK). UK contacts please get in touch directly with Legend Records for any promo requests. DARE front man Darren Wharton will also be available for phone interviews - requests are welcome! DARE - Arc Of The Dawn out: 26.10.2009 label: Legend Records distributor: NL Distribution (outside of the UK) DARE’s last studio
album, “Beneath The Shining Water”, was released in 2004. After a creative
break of five years, that was only interrupted by the release of the live CD /
DVD “The Power Of Nature”, Darren Wharton is presenting his new album “Arc
Of The Dawn”.
The
former companion of Irish rock legend Phil Lynott was the keyboarder in their
common band THIN LIZZY; he can be heard on classic 1980’s albums such as
“Chinatown”, “Renegade” or “Thunder And Lightning”. After
leaving THIN LIZZY in 1986, Darren moved back to Manchester and founded the band
DARE. His most successful releases were “Out Of The Silence (1988), “Blood
From Stone (1991), “Calm Before The Storm” (1998) and “Belief” (2001). “Arc
Of The Dawn” offers all the elements which make for a classic DARE album.
It’s highly melodic sound can be best described as a mixture between PINK
FLOYD and THIN LIZZY, but the album also features more traditional Celtic and
Welsh tunes. It is this diversity in sound that makes DARE so unique, it is the
mixture that DARE fans love and enjoy. “Arc
Of The Dawn” contains twelve beautiful, delicately arranged songs, with
guitarist Richard Dews and keyboard player Darren Wharton perfectly
complementing each other. The album also offers two fantastic cover songs,
“Emerald” by THIN LIZZY and “The Flame” by CHEAP TRICK. Thanks to the
powerful interpretation, this version even surpasses the original song. Reason
enough to release it as a single. Tracklist:
1.
Dublin, 2. Shelter In The Storm, 3. Follow The River, 4. King Of Spades, 5. I
Will Return, 6. Emerald,7. When 8. The Flame, 9. Still Waiting, 10. Kiss The
Rain, 11. Remember, 12. Circles Line-Up:
::: YESTERROCK: re-issues of PAGANINI's classics "Weapon Of Love" and "It's A Long Way To The Top" out this week! ::: PAGANINI - Weapon Of Love; PAGANINI - It's A Long Way To The Top out: 29.09.2009 label: Yesterrock distributor: NL Distribution After
leaving the German hard rock group VIVA, Swiss rock singer Marco Paganini
founded his own band PAGANINI in the mid 80s. In 1985, the album “Weapon Of
Love” was released, followed by “It’s A Long Way To The Top” in 1987.
Both albums are much sought after by today’s collectors, selling at high
prices on e-bay…if they can be found at all.
“Weapon
Of Love” also contains the hit single “Berlin By Night”, which got heavy
airplay at the time and also achieved cult status in many rock clubs. Back in
the days PAGANINI were touring all over Europe, supporting - amongst many others
- bands such as MÖTLEY CRÜE. |
