Frontiers Records have announced the details of the new STRANGEWAYS album. Featuring the line-up of Terry Brock – vocals, Ian J. Stewart – guitars, Warren Jolly - bass, Jim Drummond - drums and David "Munch" Moore - keyboards, the album will mark a return to the band's late eighties AOR sound.
“There was no real plan for Terry and I to work together again, it just kinda happened” says Ian Stewart. “With the Firefest gig offer and Frontiers showing interest in another Strangeways album it all just seemed to fall together naturally. The relationship with Terry is probably better than it's ever been, which I think is down to the fact that we're both older and dare I say wiser”.
“Perfect World” takes from where “Walk In the Fire” left off, with the band finding an even more mature musical identity, an amazing sense of spacious melodies and of course the magic voice of Terry Brock which connects the music with the classic Melodic Rock sound of “Native Sons” and “Walk in the Fire”.
“I honestly couldn't really describe the "new" sound as such, it's just honest melodic heart and soul rock music, good tunes played with attitude and feeling” concludes Ian Stewart. Their performance at Firefest 2010 is hoped not to be one-off gig. “Perfect World”: Perfect World; Borderlines; Movin' On; Time; Cracking Up Baby; Liberty; One More Day; Bushfire; Too Far Gone; Can't Let You Go; Say What You Want.
The songs “Perfect World” and “Borderlines” can exclusively be listened to in full by streaming on the Frontiers Web Radio from September 1st. Tune in at: www.frontiers.it/webradio. This new album will be the third Terry Brock-sung release from Frontiers this year! A busy man.
