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.
HANK ERIX, the frontman of the Swedish AOR band HOUSTON, has announced the release of his first solo album ‘Nothing But Trouble‘ on October 5th, 2018 via Livewire/Cargo Records UK and released .

Journey frontman’s epic voice is still intact, but his first album in nearly a quarter century doesn’t quite have the spark of his finest hits. The album is very much a classic Steve Perry record, full of dramatic schmaltz, nostalgia and the occasional rocker.

MelodicRock Records is pleased to announce another blast from the past, partnering with the one and only JOHNNY LIMA to reissue his long out of print self-titled debut (1996) album and the similarly out of print Made In California (2003). Those of us influenced by out 80’s musical influence, most of us have pulled a 180 degree turn away from it… but not Johnny. He embraces his influences and in many areas brings them even to a higher level. If you are waiting for Bon Jovi or Bryan Adams to release another 80’s sounding album there is only one place to find the spirits of that era. “Made In California” captures the 80’s melodic rock influences and produces them to today’s standards. If you are looking for a hint of the best of the past merged with the demands of today’s stan
Absolutely amazing album from start to finish. Can’t stop listening to it. If you like fast melodic hardcore, skatepunk, etc. this will blow your mind. Favorite track: North Star.

DECADE II.„20 years since Newman first released the debut album, and I still get the same excitement and joy from recording and performing music. In the last 10 years the live band has gone from strength to strength and I am now surrounded by a bunch of really good friends who bring these songs to life whenever we play. My drive to write and perform is a selfish quest, however, my inspiration is you, everyone that supports my music, and the wonderful compliments I receive on a daily basis, thank you for your belief,

Swedish melodic rockers Angeline are back with a new AOR album with some twists.I have been following Swedish melodic rock musicians Angelina for more than three decades. I’ve seen a lot of the first concerts of the group in 1987-88 and subsequent years. I immediately liked it. Since their first demo tape, “the Legend”, in 1988, they have lived in a melodic rock world. Sometimes they are very AOR, sometimes a little heavier, but always melodic. Angeline’s current lineup consists of Jake Nils
“Night Of The Crime” was voted 3rd Best AOR album of all time by legendary Kerrang! magazine readers, and without a doubt, well deserved.Icon’s “Night Of The Crime” is much more than ‘a must have’, this is simply ESSENTIAL into any AOR / Melodic Hard collection.
