Relayer ‘is an American Melodic hard rock formation created in the 90s by childhood friends’ Tom Burke’, ‘Tim LaRoi’ and ‘John Sahagian’ and who at the time had recorded several studio albums (‘A Grander Vision’ in 1994 , ‘The Testing Fashion’ in 1996 and ‘Last Man On Earth’ in 1998).
Returned for the first time in 2007 with ‘Façade’, it was not until 2019 that the fifth album soberly called ‘V’ was released and it is with their last album ‘Broken Branches’ dating from the beginning of February 2021 that I find out. Their influences are diverse and they evolve between pop and rock tinged with progressive which takes us back to the 70s with melodic lines that tame quite quickly in formats between 4 and 7 minutes.
