Album-oriented rock (abbreviated AOR) is an American FM radio format focusing on album tracks by rock artists. AOR evolved from progressive rock radio in the mid-1970s, using research and formal programming to create an album rock format with greater commercial appeal.

SHOUT (Ken Tamplin) – Shout Back +3 bonus [20th Anniversary Limited Edition remastered]

Hard Rock, Melodic Rock | AOR Leave a comment


After many years out of print and celebrating its 20th Anniversary, last year was released this Limited Edition (500 copies) remastered version of SHOUT‘s 3rd album ”Shout Back”, including 3 bonus tracks.

Shout was the 80s hard rock / metal band founded by Ken Tamplin and Chuck King, and after two very good albums they took some time for their solo projects.
In 1999, Tamplin and King got together again for this third effort properly titled ”Shout Back”.
From the rockers like ‘No Way, No How’ or ‘A.D./B.C.’ to the high energy rendition of Rare Earth’s Seventies rocker ‘I Just Want To Celebrate’, Shout delivers 15 songs of classic hard rock music proficiency and excellence, plus 3 bonus tracks originally released on the 1998

KEN TAMPLIN – Tamplin [Limited Edition Remastered] (2019)

Hard Rock, Melodic Rock | AOR Leave a comment


Originally released in 1993, ”Tamplin” is KEN TAMPLIN‘s 3rd solo project. It’s hard to believe that this hard rocking album is now 27 years old, as it sounds ibrant and current like if recorded yesterday. Even more with this new remastering, a fat punch in the mouth.

This is Ken Tamplin (Shout) at his absolute best: hard hitting, fist pumping, driving American hard rock.
Although the album went almost undiscovered due to the recording label lack of proper promotion – and grunge dominating the US Rock scene at the time- this is is without a doubt among Ken Tamplin’s finest works.

Lori Chacko founded by producer Joey Balin known for his co-operation with Warlock, when he saw her performing with a local London band called Amazon. Joey Balin help her with her self-titled debut album came out in 1986 where we met among others keyboardist Alan St. Jon from Billy Squier, bassist Leigh Foxx of Franke & The Knockouts, Scandal fame and drummer Thommy Price of Scandal, Price/Sulton fame.

The opening song “Once Bitten, Twice Shy” nothing to do with the theme of Great White gain TV attention on MTV played regularly for a long period while it was released as a single also with several sales. “Pushing and Pulling” is personally the best moment of the record with great riff melody, super catchy chorus that in parts reminds Simple Minds. The rest of the songs varied between pop, rock and
