NEW GRAND DESIGN SINGLE AND VIDEO:
For all of you 80s fanatics! Swedish melodic rockers Grand Design has today released the new digital single/video Baby It's You, a re-vamped and Grand Designerized cover of Candian band Promises
1978 hit. The video is the first release featuring the new line-up and
the song also features a special guest. Since Grand Design is all about
the 80s, Swedish singer Susie Päivärinta of the popular Swedish 80s
pop-duo Lili & Susie does an stellar guest appearance, hitting some
pretty high notes in this old classic.
The single can be purchased from iTunes, www.cdbaby.com, Rhapsody, Amazon etc. and the video is up on YouTube, to be see here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oc_jhCLbHHw.
Grand Design was formed in 2006 by
vocalist/producer Pelle Saether, and the band's first 1st album “Time
Elevation” was release by AOR Heaven in October 2009. The album
featured guest spots from guitarists Janne Stark and Tommy Denander. The
release gained massive success and was awarded 'best album' and 'best
song' by BeRockRadio and received numerous top 10 positions for “best
album 2009”. Several concerts, including the prestigious FireFest in
Nottingham, UK proved that Grand Design also deliver live. Pelle Saether
comments: ”Since we all love Def Leppard, it will always be an
influence we use to spice things up.”
Two years later, it was time for Grand Design's second album –
“Idolizer”. Pelle says: “We knew we had found a formula to make an 80's
rock record work in the 21st century – so why change it?” With new
anthems like “Get On With Action”, “OughtoGraph” and “Your Love's A
Runaway”, “Idolizer” followed up the fans expectations. Grand Design
again proved that the songs and sound of 80's rock belong in your
players and on the big stages.
In 2012 the line-up saw singer Pelle Saether and guitarist Dennis Vestman, now flanked by guitarist Janne Stark (Constancia, Overdrive etc), bassist Mats Vassfjord (Chris Laney Band, Scaar) and drummer Peter Hermansson (Talisman, John Norum, 220 Volt).
Early 2013 the band has finished two new songs, featuring guest singer Susie Päivärinta (of Lili & Susie) and a video of the song “Baby It's You” will be unearthed. The band also welcomes new drummer Magnus Ulfstedt
(Eclipse, Jimi Jamison, Talisman, Lion's Share etc) as Peter is
devoting his time to the re-united 220 Volt. Magnus makes his debut on
the band's new video.
