Slack and Berlin (Germany) based guitarist Chris Lyne.

Named
after “The Mother Road”, another name for the US’ legendary, historic
Route 66 highway, this international Hard Blues Rock band is
impressively transferring the vintage sounds and the trademarks of this
genre into the new decade. Founded in 2011 and based on mutual musical
influences, Slack & Lyne promptly felt the chemistry between them
was right and the song-writing process soon accelerated. In the
meantime, the line-up was completed with drummer Carsten Klick and
bassist Frank Binke.

Currently, the song-writing process is almost finished and the first batch of songs are about to be shopped to the labels.

Guitarist
Chris Lyne is well known for his astonishing work with his previous
group Soul Doctor. His main influences include some of the greatest
British guitar players such as Gary Moore, Jimmy Page, Paul Kossoff and
John Sykes. American singer Keith Slack acted as frontman of the bands
Steelhouse Lane and Michael Schenker Group (MSG), and also his own
blues-influenced Hard Rock band Mudpie. Slack’s influences include a
whole variety of styles and music from bands including Paul Rodgers, Led
Zeppelin, The Black Crowes, King’s X and The Cult.

Title: Khaøs - Khaøs Rising EP

Label: MarkRossi Records

Out: 29.10.2012

Format: digital release




Khaøs rising

Khaøs
was born around the idea of making music without any kind of
compromises in June 2012. The band name itself reveals the main musical
target: to let creativity, musicality and energy flow, destroying
barriers and breaking through obstacles. Music itself is the centerpiece
of this work.

Four people, four cities, five stories

Khaøs
is a project on a global scale, involving two continents, America and
Europe and going possibly beyond. Their members have never actually
played together in the same room. This came together thanks to the
internet. It was an idea they wanted to put to the test.

Produced by
Rolf Munkes at his Empire Studios in Germany, five songs with an
unmistakable rocking vibe have arisen from the creative collaboration
between
Chandler Mogel (vocals, Outloud), Mark Rossi (guitars, Tribal), N I c
Angileri (bass, Jorn) and Trevor Franklin (drums, Elis). The debut EP
“Khaøs Rising” will be digitally released on October 29th 2012 and is
conceived as warm-up for a full lenght.

This
EP is taster of a bigger common work, a visiting card to awaken the
interest of rock aficionados, a unique opportunity for labels to release
a genuine product with international format and for the band to spread
their music and extend their fan base world wide. 2013 will be the year
of …Khaøs!

Line-up: Vocals: Chandler Mogel; Guitars: Mark Rossi; Bass: N I c Angileri; Drums: Trevor Franklin

Track list:
1. Distress Signal, 2. Hated, 3. Reason To Die, 4. Mind Violence, 5.

Release: Lionville – II

Label: Avenue Of Allies

Release date: Nov 30^th, 2012




LIONVILLE
is back !! The band‘s winning combination of tight song writing,
stellar musical performances recorded by a gifted cast of experienced
studio cats and upcoming talents, crowned by impressive lead vocals and
an album mix paying attention to all the significant little details,
made “Lionville” one of 2011’s most favorite AOR records.

Fans and reviewers alike enjoyed the catchy pure AOR sound and among others the album reached # 3 on melodicrock.com’s “Best Debut Album Of 2011”
rundown, it also landed at # 20 on the site’s “Best Album Of The Year”
charts and the ballad “The World Without Your Love”, written by Richard
Marx, Bruce Gaitsch and Amy Sky, reached # 11 on the “Best Ballad”
listing.

Soon after the release of last years self-titled debut album (Avenue 11100030) main songwriter, guitarist and vocalist Stefano Lionetti,
started working on new material for the follow-up to the band’s very
well received first effort. Together with label owner and executive
producer Gregor Klee, Stefano discussed the key
ingredients for their next co-operation and both agreed that the record
should be a musical continuation of the debut with an occasional
interesting twist here and there.



LIONVILLE’s sophomore album “II”
is another slice of high class AOR with a touch of Westcoast and
Melodic Rock, with most of the top flight musicians performing on the
debut returning to the recording studio to lay down their tracks. During
the spring and summer of 2012 the recordings took place in various
studios in Italy, Sweden and the USA, before the mixing and the
mastering were completed by Alessandro Del Vecchio in his newly built Ivory Tears Studios close to Milan, Italy.

Lars Säfsund
(Work Of Art) shows again that he is one of the most versatile and
talented lead and backing vocalists of our time, also Stefano delivers a
very solid performance on lead vocals in addition to his melodic guitar
playing and an occasional contribution on the keyboards. The song “Higher”,
one of the album’s many highlights presents one of the years best vocal
arrangements and performances on a Rock song sees the two young
European singers unite with one of the AOR and Westcoast genre’s
American legends, the two-time Grammy award winning Bill Champlin (formerly of Chicago) with his signature vocals. The trio trades off the lead vocals and Bill’s wife Tamara Champlin joins them on backing vocals.

The
excellent band playing on all tracks was also the Lionville live band
for the celebrated Firefest performance in October 2012, the line-up
includes the Italian musicians Mario Percudani (Hungryheart, Issa, Shining Line, Mitch Malloy), Anna Portalupi (Hardline, Mitch Malloy, Issa, Steve Lukather), Alessandro Mori (Mitch Malloy, Moonstone Project) as well as producer and keyboarder Alessandro Del Vecchio (Edge Of Forever, Hardline, Issa, Mitch Malloy). On the album they are joined by guitarist Bruce Gaitsch (Richard Marx, Chicago) on seven songs, as well as guest guitar players Robert Säll (Work Of Art, W.E.T.), Sven Larsson (Street Talk) and Peter Friestedt (Williams Friestedt, L.A. Project). The invitees are completed by drummer Herman Furin (Work Of Art) on percussions and Italian saxophone luminary Joe La Viola.

Stefano‘s song writing partners are again Pierpaolo “Zorro” Monti (Shining Line, Charming Grace), Robert Säll, Lars Säfsund and Alessandro Del Vecchio and a new co-operation was started with Miqael Persson
(Eclipse, Toby Hitchcock, Giant). The only song originating from
outside writers is a cover version of Boy Meets Girl’s catchy 80s Pop
Rock gem “Waiting For A Star To Fall”, written by George Merrill and Shannon Rubicam.

LIONVILLE “II”
turns out to be a more mature and homogenous sounding affair than the
band’s debut, paying even more attention to the musical arrangements and
production details resulting in a very well balanced mix that pays
attention to all the precious little details. In the case of LIONVILLE “II”
the much-cited term “Labour Of Love” is certainly appropriate as
everyone involved gave their best from start to finish to deliver one of
the AOR highlights of 2012.

Stefano Lionetti: Lead & backing vocals, electric & acoustic guitars, keyboards



With:

Lars Säfsund: Lead & backing vocals

Two and a half years after their debut album “Hollywood Rocks” (Avenue 1007 0015) WHEELS OF FIRE return with their second record “Up For Anything”. Following the first release of the band, which reached the #42 position on the charts of the Japanese Burrn! magazine, WHEELS OF FIRE
have established themselves in the club circuit in North Italy as an
entertaining live act with a stable line-up, that also recorded the
songs for their sophomore release.



Front man Davide “Dave Rox” Barbieri and guitar player Stefano Zeni were already the core of the recording line-up of “Hollywood Rocks”, since then the duo was joined by Marcello Suzzani on bass, Andrea Vergori on keyboards & piano and Fabrizio Uccellini on drums.

Dave and Stefano are also the song writers for all tracks of the album, on some songs Alessandro Del Vecchio (Lionville, Edge Of Forever, Hardline) and Pierpaolo “Zorro 11” Monti (Shining Line, Charming Grace, Lionville) lend a helping hand in the writing process.



The
compositions of Dave and Stefano impressively show the progression of
the band into a contemporary Rock act incorporating modern elements into
their sound while staying true to their musical roots of the Melodic
Rock sound of the 80s. WHEELS OF FIRE stand for
instantly memorable vocal lines and choruses with carefully arranged
harmonies, hook laden powerful guitar riffs and solos combined with well
balanced keyboards and piano entries, big sounding drums and solid bass
tracks.

Dave delivers a highly professional production job on “Up For Anything” and for the album mix and the mastering Roberto Priori (Danger Zone) was behind the studio desk.



On the list of international guests are James Christian (House of Lords) who performs a vocal duet with Dave on the midtempo rocker “Don’t Walk Away” and is his wife Robin Beck, joining him on backing vocals.

And Swedish guitar player Rob Marcello (Danger Danger, Marcello-Vestry) laid down the solo for “No Mercy”. Contributions from local Italian musicians come from Michele Luppi (Secret Sphere, Los Angeles, ex-Vision Divine), Roberto Zari and Andrea “Mitzi” Dal Santo on backing vocals throughout the album and a full horn section on “Yesterday’s Gone”.



Following the release of the album the band will hit the road again in 2013 to present their new songs.

WHEELS OF FIRE are in full gear and “Up For Anything”.

Of course, there have been some BONFIRE‐live records in the past, but on „Live In Wacken“ you can really find different versions of the band’s anthems like „SDI“, „Champion“ or „Ready 4 Reaction“ as well as the song „Wake Up“.

When Daniel Andersson and Stefan Olofsson released the self titled STATE COWS debut album (Avenue 1008 0016) in 2010, the feedback from the fans and the media alike was nothing short of phenomenal. The reviewers wrote, “Westcoast music at its best“, “a future classic among Westcoast fans”, “by far the best release in the Westcoast genre in recent years”, “an absolute must for anyone who is seeking a contemporary Westcoast outfit”, “they totally nailed the classic Westcoast sound but they have a unique style all their own”.

And one of the true icons of the genre, Jay Graydon, who contributed a guitar solo to the song “New York Town”, said: “These guys have surely taken West Coast Pop to another level adding the freshness of youth. Great songs, arrangements and performances!“
Accolades galore, raising the expectations for the follow-up to a very high level and with their sophomore album aptly titled “The Second One” the Swedes have definitely managed to live up to their reputation as one of the best Westcoast bands since the glory days of the genre ended almost 30 years ago.

For the recordings of “The Second One”, Daniel and Stefan invited most of the musicians who already conduced to the success of the first album again. Jay Graydon returns for a guitar solo on upbeat “In The City”, but he is not the only one of the former L.A. session cats who makes an appearance, Michael Landau plays the guitar solo on “This Time” and you can listen to Bill Champlin’s vocals on “Finally Fair and Balanced” with the typical arrangement you expect when you hear Bill’s voice. Ian Bairnson of Alan Parsons Project / Keats fame played a guitar solo on “I Got Myself Together”, while the local Swedish guitar talents, Peter Friestedt and Sven Larsson paid a courtesy visit for a guitar solo on “Mister White” and “Hard Goodbye” respectively.

“The Second One” with its stellar song writing, the perfect arrangements, the great harmony vocals and the impressive list of guest musicians is the perfect addition to the CD collection of everyone looking for the classic Westcoast sound along the lines of Airplay, Pages, Steely Dan, Marc Jordan, Michael McDonald, David Roberts, Toto and Chicago. 

All songs written, produced and arranged by Stefan Olofsson and Daniel Andersson

Recorded at White Cherry Hill Studios

Tony JJ and bassist Rob Hakemo (Ex Engel, Relevant Few, Gooseflesh) was delighted to have new fresh blood in the band and the band has developed into a metamorphosis of strength, heaviness, rhythm, groove and melody.

They have toured with bands such as Fear Factory, Five Finger Death Punch, Mustasch, Threat Signal, Sybreed, Raunchy, In Cold Blood etc... Unique in the metal genre, this band plays with quarter note scaled instruments (48 frets bass and guitar).

In early 2013 the recording of their 4th album was finished and the band found a new partner in Malmoe based metal label Dead End Exit Records (A Division Of RoastingHouse).

Release: Strange Nostalgia

Label: Avenue Of Allies

Out: Sept 20^th, 2013

PR: info@germusica.com

Music was Andrée Theander’s constant companion since the age of ten when he first picked up a guitar. Soon after he also started writing music, took guitar lessons and joined the music program at the high school in his hometown Härnösand in Sweden. Later his musical studies led Andrée to the university in Piteå, Sweden, where he took classes to become a professional studio musician. To enhance his musical abilities he spent several months in the USA where he attended various courses at the Musicians Institute (GIT) in Los Angeles. During his stay in California Andrée met Fusion pioneer Jeff Lorber who invited him to lay down some guitar tracks for his “Galaxy” album (2012). Quite an honour for a young virtually unknown music student to be included in the album credits next to L.A. session cats like Michael Thompson, Vinnie Colaiuta or Jimmy Haslip.

Back in Sweden Andrée felt he was ready to make his dream come true and to start working on his own album. Andrée recruted a great line-up of Rock musicians from Sweden, he either knew personally or who had impressed him with their previous work. Over the course of the months the recording debut of “THE THEANDER EXPRESSION” began to take shape with Göran Edman (Street Talk, Glory, Y. Malmsteen), and the very promising newcomer Christian Hedgren sharing the lead vocals, Herman Furin (Work Of Art, Fergie Frederiksen) on drums, Linus Abrahamson on bass and Michael Ottosson on keyboards.

The result of the recording sessions, which were completed by the mix of Per Ryberg (Street Talk, Sven Larsson, Bloodbound) and the mastering of Sören von Malmborg (Dan Reed, The Rasmus) is nothing but spectacular, proving that Andrée Theander is a very talented songwriter and a strikingly skilled guitar player, who knows how to leave a lasting impression by combining his technical skills with a lot of feeling and an unmistakable sense for catchy melodies. Together with his band he delivers a pure AOR album, spiced up with energetic licks and furious solos and occasionally leaning towards the more powerful side of 80s Westcoast, all in all tailor-made for everyone who is into the high class AOR sounds of bands like Street Talk, Toto, Work Of Art, Mecca and Lionville.



THE THEANDER EXPRESSION :



Andrée Theander – Guitars and backing vocals



Christian Hedgren – Lead vocals on tracks 1-3 and 7-9

Product: Roadfever – Wolf Pack
Release date: Nov. 22^nd, 2013
Label: Avenue of Allies
PR: info@germusica.com
Powerful Classic Hard Rock with great melodies, served with a healthy dose of Southern Rock, is what you hear when the songs of ROADFEVER’s second album “Wolf Pack” are blasting out of your speakers.
The female fronted Power Rock band from Switzerland takes you back to the sound of the 80s and successfully manages to raise the already high quality level of their debut “Wheels On Fire” (2009) by presenting a record with a superb state-of-the-art sound of kick-ass Rock songs.

Formed back in 2005 the Swiss four-piece fronted by Stevie “Manou” Pike has established its reputation as an act with an energetic live show. Over the years ROADFEVER has been opening for bands and sharing the same festival stages with bands such as: Blackfoot, Scorpions, Trust, Uli Jon Roth, Pretty Maids, Rhino Bucket, Eric Singer Project, Little Caesar and more.
David Pariat on guitars, Jessie Be on bass and Pascal Bavaud on drums complete the line-up, whose  vital performance and stage presence was documented on the band’s DVD “Live in Geneva” (2010).

While Stevie is responsible for the lyrics and vocal melodies, David Pariat, former lead guitar player of fellow Swiss Hard Rockers Sideburn, composes and arranges the songs and takes care of the album production, with Phil Risch and Stephan Montinaro as recording engineers. For the mix and mastering of “Wolf Pack” the band could win German sound wizard Achim Köhler (Sinner, Primal Fear, Voodoo Circle), who put the finishing touches to the songs in his Indiscreet Audio Studio.
With Mat Sinner (Sinner, Primal Fear, Voodoo Circle), who sings a duet with Stevie on “Magic Sun” and Oliver Hartmann (Hartmann, Avantasia) supporting her on the anthemic choirs of several tunes, additional assistance for the Swiss neighbours comes from the higher ranks of the German Rock scene.

Together with ROADFEVER’s cracking new album “Wolf Pack”, the band’s previous CD and DVD releases “Wheels On Fire” and “Live in Geneva” respectively, will be available on a wider scale.
ROADFEVER is looking forward to present their new songs together with the older favourites in the set of their forthcoming concerts which will commence this winter and with many more shows to follow in 2014 and beyond. 
ROADFEVER are :
Stevie "Manou" Pike: Lead vocals
David Pariat: Guitars, vocals
Jessie Be: Bass
Pascal Bavaud: Drums
Guest musicians :

Release date: 22.11.2013

The journey down REVOLUTION ROAD began when producer Alessandro Del Vecchio and Avenue Of Allies label owner Gregor Klee sat together on the riverside of the Ticino in Northern Italy in the spring of 2011 and talked about some of their favourite singers who didn’t release new material during the last couple of years.

One of the names that came up during the conversation of the two Classic Rock fans was Stefan Berggren. The distinctive sound of the voice of the former lead singer of Snakes In Paradise and Company Of Snakes was missed by both of them and surely quite a few more followers of the Swedish vocalist and the bands he sang in.

Shortly after the exchange of some ideas for the new project Alessandro contacted Stefan, who immediately expressed interest in a cooperation. During the fall and winter of 2011 / 2012 an album began to take shape with Stefan submitting some of his own compositions to the pool of 20 songs for the record, that also included song contributions from Alessandro and his writing partners Paul Logue (Eden’s Curse), Carmine Martone and Francesco Marras.
The final song selection, made by executive producer Gregor Klee, sets great store in delivering a track list of the highest order for all lovers of Classic Hard Rock with a touch of Melodic Rock and AOR.

With Alessandro Del Vecchio (Edge Of Forever, Hardline, Lionville, Fergie Frederiksen) in the producer’s seat all of the songwriters also took part in the recording sessions performing as a band on each tune of the record. Carmine Martone and Francesco Marras delivered some smokin’ hot guitar work with amazing solos, Paul Logue provided the bass tracks and Francesco Jovino (U.D.O., Sapphire Eyes, Hardline, Skill In Veins) layed down the solid drum groove. Alessandro, who was of course also responsible for the keyboards and some mean Hammond B3 playing,  also invited Voodoo Circle main man Alex Beyrodt (Sinner, Primal Fear) to bring the marvelous “Ain't Gonna Give My Heart Away”, a particular highlight of the album, to another level. As guests on guitar Stefan brought in his former Snakes In Paradise colleagues, Stefan Jonsson and Thomas Jakobsson as well as Marcus Jidell (Royal Hunt, Doogie White, Alfonzetti).
The recording debut of REVOLUTION ROAD with its magnificent production of a terrific variety of songs and the more than solid musical performances by seasoned players is the very welcome return of Stefan Berggren, a high class Rock shouter, who is finally back with an album that will convince any Rock fan.
