Almost 20 years after their hit ‘In The Shadows’, THE RASMUS are enjoying some kind of re-emergence this 2022 after representing their native Finland at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest. They have still been around – they’ve never even taken a break since forming in 1994 – but never make it ‘big’.
One of the reasons may be THE RASMUS not only aim to pop-charts, they want to make music more varied flirting with Scandi melodic rock, retro synthwave, goth, and ’80s-style rock & pop. All that is what

Specialists at Rock Candy Records have ‘Remastered & Reloaded“ all-three first albums from American melodic rockers 707, one of the most distinctive sounds of any band emerging from the late ’70s. For their second LP, simply titled “The Second Album“, 707 considerably changed their musical delivery, to a more straight, mainstream AOR sound.
Enlisting the assistance of producer Jai Winding (Le Roux, Stephen Crane) and recorded in Los Angeles, the band’s sophomore album solidified 707’s potential, albeit with the loss of pianist Duke McFadden who left the band for pastures new.
His departure was quite a traumatic blow but they weren’t holed beneath the waterline because the other members rose to the challenge with a defiant show of force.

Many of you asked for Rock Candy Records reissues to complete collections, so here’s one more featured for the first time here: HOTEL self-titled debut “Hotel” from 1979, for the first time officially released on CD and digitally remastered.
As Rock Candy states; they often receive requests for obscure and now hard to find records, but the amount of demand for the Hotel albums has been decidedly overwhelming, surprising when considering that the act barely made a blip on the radar back in the early 1980s when they were first issued.
It appears that there is something of an insatiable appetite for music from that
