Foreigner: The Best Of Foreigner 4 & More

With ten multi-platinum albums and sixteen Top 30 US hits, Foreigner is universally hailed as one of the most popular rock acts in the world with a formidable musical arsenal that continues to propel sold-out tours and album sales, now exceeding 75 million.

Responsible for some of rock and roll’s most enduring anthems including “Juke Box Hero,” “Feels Like The First Time,” “Urgent,” “Head Games,” “Hot Blooded,” “Cold As Ice,” “Dirty White Boy,” “Waiting For A Girl Like You,” and the worldwide #1 hit, “I Want To Know What Love Is,” Foreigner continues to rock the charts more than thirty years into the game.

At Foreigner’s core is founder and lead guitarist Mick Jones, the visionary maestro whose stylistic songwriting, indelible guitar hooks and multi-layered talents continue to escalate Foreigner’s influence, along with lead vocalist Kelly Hansen, bass guitarist Jeff Pilson and multi-instrumentalist Tom Gimbel.

Founded in 1976, Foreigner’s debut album produced the hits “Feels Like The First Time,” “Cold As Ice” and “Long, Long Way From Home.” The album Double Vision followed, as did a string of hits like “Urgent,” “Juke Box Hero” and “Waiting For A Girl Like You.” Those songs helped give Foreigner’s next album, 4, its impressive run at #1 on the Billboard chart. At the zenith of 80’s sound, Foreigner’s fifth album, Agent Provocateur, gave the world the incredible #1 global hit,” I Want To Know What Love Is.” This musical milestone followed the record-breaking song “Waiting For A Girl Like You,” which appeared on the previous record “4”.

An unprecedented new level of energy commenced in 2002 when Mick Jones decided to take Foreigner to the next level. He was joined by the astonishing Kelly Hansen on vocals, and continues as they lead the group in a re-emergence of astounding music that speaks to long time Foreigner fans and younger generations. With renewed energy and direction, Foreigner hit the Billboard charts again with the 2005 release of their live greatest hits album, Extended Versions. Can’t Slow Down followed in 2009, and entered the Billboard chart in the Top 30, driven by two Top 20 radio singles, “In Pieces” and “When It Comes To Love.” To follow was the release of the band’s 3-disc set, Feels Like The First Time, which included an acoustic CD with an intimate and unique re-interpretation of many Foreigner classics, studio re-records by the new lineup and a live performance DVD showcasing the group’s exceptional live energy.

Foreigner experienced another surge in popularity when several of their hits were featured on the Rock Of Ages soundtrack, including “I Want To Know What Love Is,” “Juke Box Hero” and “Waiting For A Girl Like You” – more songs than any other one band on the soundtrack. Hollywood quickly took note, and several more tracks were featured in hit films “Anchorman 2,” “Magic Mike” and “Pitch Perfect,” sending Foreigner downloads up 400%. The video game industry was soon to follow. The blockbuster release, “Grand Theft Auto V,” features Foreigner’s “Dirty White Boy,” and “Hot Blooded” is included in the November 2013 release of “BandFuse”. The high visibility of Foreigner’s songs continues to introduce the band’s music to a whole future generation of fans.
On October 3rd & 4th 2014, Foreigner performed and record a unique event at the prestigious Borgata Hotel in Atlantic City, NJ.  For the first time ever, the band presented 'The Best of Foreigner 4 & More' show.  This is a theme that will continue through select live shows, with a repertoire consisting of some of the best and most loved songs of Foreigner “4” plus a selection of other Foreigner timeless hits. Foreigner ”4” remains the best selling and fans’ favorite album in the entire Foreigner catalogue.  This is a release that will resonate very deeply with the Foreigner audience and go on to become a major release in Foreigner’s catalogue.

Deen Castronovo, Jack Blades and Doug Aldrich. Put these three titans together in a band and you have REVOLUTION SAINTS.

Superbly handling drums and lead vocals is Deen Castronovo. Already renowned for his drum talents and backing vocals in Journey, Bad English and more, Deen's excellent vocal talents are in the spotlight on this release. On bass, and co-lead vocals on a few tracks, Jack Blades is well known for his melodic, yet hard rocking approach to songwriting and playing via multiple classic albums by his main band Night Ranger, as well as with the Damn Yankees and the Shaw/Blades releases. On guitar, Doug Aldrich was excited to lend his fiery blues guitar attack to such a unique and melodic band. Doug, who just left Whitesnake after a fruitful 12 year run (including co-writing 2010s critically acclaimed "Forevermore" release) and also of Burning Rain and formerly of DIO, has a deep pedigree and is one of today’s most respected guitarists.

You can tell by the name - and the names involved - that REVOLUTION SAINTS is not going to be your average rock 'n roll band. The record brings back the classic melodic rock style to where it should be: inspiring, uplifting vocals, soaring melodies and musicianship to die for. Simply put, it is completely badass.

The project is the vision of Frontiers' President Serafino Perugino, who for years had hoped to work on a project where Deen would be the lead vocalist. Having previously worked with all three artists on different projects on Frontiers, having Deen, Jack and Doug on board together was a dream come true for Perugino. With production overseen by in-house Frontiers man, Alessandro Del Vecchio (who also contributed to the songwriting and played keyboards on the album), the recording process took place in Portland, OR during the summer of 2014.

REVOLUTION SAINTS' music is played with a heart and soul and that highlights the passion and the enthusiasm of three of the best rock and all-around musicians in the game today.
Truly, this will be a release that you cannot miss!

REMASTERED EXPANDED VERSION 

OF JUDAS PRIEST'S CLASSIC 

DEFENDERS OF THE FAITH ALBUM ANNOUNCED!‏

New York, NY – December 10, 2014 - Coming off an era which saw several Judas Priest albums that have gone down as some of the greatest in the entire history of heavy metal (namely, 1980's 'British Steel' and 1982's 'Screaming for Vengeance'), the band from Birmingham knew that their next release had to 'deliver the goods,' to cement their standing as the leaders of metal. And deliver they did, with their platinum-certified 1984 release, 'Defenders of the Faith,' which spawned such headbanging classics as 'Freewheel Burning,' 'Jawbreaker,' 'The Sentinel,' 'Some Heads Are Gonna Roll,' and 'Love Bites.'


And on March 10, 2015, a newly expanded three-CD version of the album will be unleashed via Columbia/Legacy, which includes the original ten-track album remastered by producer Tom Allom, and a complete live recording from the 'Defenders' tour, recorded at the Long Beach Arena in California, on May 5, 1984.


The 21-track concert (split up over two discs) perfectly balances the then-new material from the group's ninth studio offering overall, including such classics as 'Metal Gods,' 'Breaking the Law,' 'Sinner,' 'Electric Eye,' 'The Green Manalishi (With the Two-Pronged Crown),' 'Victim of Changes,' and 'You’ve Got Another Thing Coming,' among many others.


As the band states in the liner notes to the reissue, "It's 30 years since we released 'Defenders of the Faith' - we're very proud to say it has become a classic that's beloved by Priest fans throughout the world"


Judas Priest continues to 'defend the faith' to this day, as the group recently issued their seventeenth studio album, 'Redeemer of Souls,' which sees the band's popularity amongst metalheads remain as strong as ever, as it debuted higher than any other previous Priest release (at #6 on the Billboard 200). And on the group's current tour, quite a few classics from 'Defenders' are being performed for the first time in years.


And soon, fans will get a chance to re-experience vintage Judas Priest, with the 'Defenders of the Faith' reissue.

Marillion, still some December dates left to catch

Marillion ; purveyors of soulful, powerful,  and often deeply-moving music,  with a long-standing reputation for blistering live  shows which have earned them an impressive  and faithful global fanbase. MARILLION have: Sold 15 million albums Released 17 studio albums Had 8 UK Top 10 albums Played gigs to over 3 million people Released 23 UK singles During the period the band were fronted by Fish  (1981 -88) they scored  eleven Top 40 hits on the UK Singles Chart, including 1985's "Kayleigh",  which reached No. 2 and became their biggest hit single.  The first album released with Hogarth, 1989's Seasons End, was  another Top Ten hit, and albums continued to chart well until  their departure from EMI following the release of their  1996 live album Made Again  Steve "h" Hogarth fronts the band (since 1988) and brought  a new heart and energy to the band when since becoming lead-vocal/lyricist. Predictions of doom were swiftly dispelled, as across a further 13  albums, Hogarth – along with existing members Steve Rothery (guitar),  Mark Kelly (keyboards), Pete Trewavas (bass), and  Ian Mosley (drums) – reinvigorated and constantly redefined Marillion’s sound.  They forged into new musical territories with a succession of  inventive, emotional albums, displaying little regard to the  vagaries of the musical "Fashion Police", or radio playlists.  The line-up remains  unchanged to this day.

After the release of 1999’s ‘marillion.com’ the band banished the  spectre of record company pressure once and for all by launching their  own record label (the aptly-named Intact imprint) and freeing themselves  up to produce some of the finest music of their career. Thanks to their much lauded (and much copied) pioneering Internet-based  rock n'roll business model, Marillion have developed a unique and  intimate relationship with their fans. From sponsoring entire tours of  the USA to funding the recording of recent albums, Marillion’s global  fan-base is unique in its affection and dedication.   In fact Marillion are credited with inventing Crowdfunding. The history of the band's use of the Internet is described by Michael Lewis  in the book Next: The Future Just Happened as an example of how the  Internet is shifting power away from established elites, such as  multinational record labels and record producers.  As a result, such passionate, wholesale support has allowed  Marillion to step outside of the conventional music industry and  find their own path.

In 2001 ‘Anoraknophobia’ saw Marillion take the groundbreaking step of  asking fans to pre-order an album 12 months before release. An  amazing 12,000 people signed up, helping to finance the recording.  The band once again took pre-orders for the 2004 masterpiece ‘Marbles,’  but this time the money was channelled into a campaign fund to  promote its launch. When singles ‘Don’t Hurt Yourself’ and ‘You’re Gone‘ breached the  UK top 20 – the latter making it all the way to number 7 –  jaws dropped right across the music world. Not bad going for a band without major label backing. But it was merely the latest twist in the history of a group who have  held  on to the conviction that what they’re doing MEANS something  more than entertainment or selling records.

The band has evolved into a vibrant musical force – to those who  already love Marillion, they’re something special; to everyone else  they’re a love affair waiting to happen.

In 2012, the band released  their 17th studio album   SOUNDS THAT CAN’T BE MADE and performed  a string of gigs in North and South America and all over Europe.  In 2014 Marillion toured Latin America and returned to the studio  to begin writing their 18th studio album.   Still some Marillion December 2014 UK Dates you can catch! Monday 8 December 2014 GLASGOW - O2 ABC Tickets: www.o2abcglasgow.co.uk SUPPORT: Luke Jackson Wednesday 10 December 2014 MANCHESTER - HMV Ritz Tickets: www.ticketline.co.uk SUPPORT: Luke Jackson Thursday 11 December 2014 LONDON - The Forum Tickets: www.ticketmaster.co.uk SUPPORT: Luke Jackson At the London show, Marillion will be joining forces with  Live Here Now to produce a CD of the concert that will  be on sale straight after the show. With the shows being so close to Christmas, expect snow,  Father Christmas and a great night of Marillion classics and more.

ETHAN BROSH KICKS OFF TOUR DATES THIS WEEK WITH RED DRAGON CARTEL/JAKE E. LEE 

Guitarist Ethan Brosh is widely considered one of the most promising instrumentalists on the scene, as evidenced by his latest album, 'Live the Dream.' And now, he is set to open for guitar legend Jake E. Lee's band, Red Dragon Cartel, on a nearly month-long tour of North America, kicking off on December 2nd in New York City and wrapping up on December 20th in Baltimore.

"I feel both honored and privileged to once again take my band on tour with one of my all time favorite guitar players, Jake E. Lee!," says Brosh about the upcoming trek. "Jake's playing, writing and overall style have been an influence and an inspiration since the very beginning stages of my guitar playing. We've all been waiting many years to see Jake back on the scene so I feel lucky to be a small part of it on this upcoming tour. I can't wait to be back out there seeing my fans again and doing what I love to do most!"

Mixed by Max Norman (Ozzy Osbourne, Megadeth) and featuring the talents of world-class bassist Dave Ellefson, as well as the mastering expertise of Bob Ludwig (Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Iron Maiden), 'Live the Dream' is Brosh's most exciting and ambitious project to date. And the album cover painting by Joe Petagno (Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd) is also sure to turn heads.

Issued by Carmine Appice's label Rocker Records LLC, "Live the Dream" is available for purchase via these links:

iTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/live-the-dream/id816347755

Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Live-Dream-Ethan-Brosh/dp/B00HZMRX0Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393806359&sr=8-1&keywords=ethan+brosh

The buzz continues to build for guitar hero Ethan Brosh, and it will undoubtedly only grow stronger now that a brand new video has been filmed for one of the many standout tracks from his latest album, 'Live the Dream,' titled "Space Invaders.” The clip puts Brosh's impressive six-string skills front and center, which can be viewed in the link below. As Brosh himself explains, "A music video is something that has to go hand in hand with the music that it's associated with. It is part of the art as a whole. It is the image that will stay in the minds of the listeners for as long as they listen to that particular musical piece. When I have a music video done, I take the process almost as seriously as I take my music. A lot of time, energy and attention to detail gets into play when we shoot or edit a video." And Brosh has nothing but praise for the video's director, Seth C. Brown. "This video was made by Seth C. Brown who can turn any rushed, impossible to shoot scene with bad lighting into a beautiful work of art! I'm very proud of the new video for 'Space Invaders,' and can't wait to make more videos for this record!”
