Robby Valentine – The Beatles Album + The Queen EP 2, 2021

All Exclusive, Melodic Rock | AOR Leave a comment


ROBBY VALENTINE is a musical centipede who has already released many releases under his own name and with others. Also a man who was never guided by what others thought or thought was better for him. His albums have always had a bombastic slant with quite a bit of Queen and classical influences.

Queen was his first love as a kid, then Electric Light Orchestra followed, and at the age of twelve The Beatles treasure chest opened to him. The band that ultimately influenced Robby’s two first loves. A journey of discove

TNT – Intuition [Rock Candy remastered] (2022), MP3+FLAC

All Exclusive, Hard Rock, HQ, Melodic Rock | AOR Leave a comment


Specialists at Rock Candy Records have done their own remaster on one of the greatest AOR / melodic hard rock albums from the ’80s; the awesome “Intuition” from Norwegians TNT.

Coming off the extraordinary ‘Tell No Tales’ which mixed edgy hard rockers with melodious gems, “Intuition” is a pure Scandi AOR / pop metal Heaven. Pure 1989’s I’d say. Every track verses are trademark TNT awesomeness, everyone firing away nicely and with purpose, while every chorus is to die for.
Whilst ”Intuition” hit the spot creatively, the commercial impact of the album faltered and despite gallant headline touring plans in the US and Japan, momentum wasn’t sufficient to propel the band to a higher level of achievement. Nonetheless, TNT’s legacy was

The New Cars – It’s Alive! (2006)

Alt Rock, Melodic Rock | AOR Leave a comment

With bands like the Killers, Interpol, and Franz Ferdinand breaking through in 2005, former Cars guitarist Elliot Easton and keyboardist Greg Hawkes got to thinking. With all this ’80s-influenced music appearing on the pop charts, perhaps it was time to revive the Cars and reconnect with music fans. The two approached the other surviving members, David Robinson and Ric Ocasek — fifth member Benjamin Orr had lost his battle to pancreatic cancer in 2000 — but neither was interested. It seemed like the idea was finished until Easton brought his old friend Todd Rundgren’s name up, and while Haw
