The new album is a collection of classic melodic rock covers and will also be signed by the band’s core members Freddie Allen and Hank Erix. The band’s eponymous debut record was voted ‘AOR Album Of The Year’ (2010) by Classic Rock / AOR magazine.

Titled ‘Relaunch’ and produced – as with the ‘Houston’ debut – by AOR connoisseur Ricky Delin, the full track-listing is as follows, with one original composition plus two bonus acoustic tracks taking the number of songs up to nine. Live dates can be seen below the tracklisting.

2) Carrie (originally recorded by Michael Bolton)
3) Brief Encounter (originally recorded by UK melodic maestros Airrace and featuring Airrace’s Laurie Mansworth on guest guitar)
4) Don’t You Know What Love Is (originally recorded by US outfit Touch, the first band ever to play the Monsters Of Rock festival, and featuring Touch keyboard player Mark Mangold on guest vox)
5) Don’t Ever Wanna Lose You (originally recorded by US four-piece New England, whose self-titled debut album was produced by Kiss’ Paul Stanley)
6) Didn’t We Almost Win It All (originally recorded by the late Laura Branigan)
7) Without Your Love (original song written by Ricky Delin; a duet with Amaranthe front-woman Elize Ryd)
