The official Frontiers Softcock Shit thread

[ozzy554]

Musically not bad at all. I know they're aiming for a KISS vibe but man they should really ditch the makeup as it does not look good on them at all.

 Here's my interview with Ronnie Romero, one of Frontiers' wild cards: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXe1zNnfkAw&t=5s

The Accept vibe from this song is strong - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gKveG46gGg

Naturally... Herbie L fronting the band.  Pretty decent shit.

Yeah... it showed up in my Spotify New Release playlist, and when I went to YT to grab a link to post here, I shat myself that it was on Frontiers.

Well the reason for Erik leaving HEAT is out - he’s been fighting lymphatic leukaemia

From his Facebook



We are with you brother! 💪♥️

It’s time to let this one out in the open. I will try to make a long story as short as possible. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
I am currently spending day 22 at the hospital in Sweden. About a month ago I was full of energy, capable of doing everything I normally do, business as usual.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
But then it appeared from nowhere. I started feeling exhausted, I had no energy to perform the simplest tasks and it was like I had run a marathon when I was just literally walking my dog for five minutes. Something wasn’t right. So I took a few blood tests and... fast forward... now it’s the third week of my treatment against acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
In medical terms this means that my bone marrow generates immature blood cells, rather than mature ones.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Now. First and foremost. I am extremely privileged and grateful to live at a day and age where a disease like this is curable. There’s been so much progress made in this field. My body is reacting well to the treatment but it’s a long treatment and it’s going to be the toughest challenge of my life so far, for me and my family. Mentally and physically. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
I have thought a lot about how to deal with this - both publicly and privately - and have decided to be completely transparent about it. During the treatment there will be good days and there will be bad days but I think it’s important that we can talk about, share and show our weak sides and bad days as well. After all life isn’t always a super filter fluffy social media world. No Instagram filter can beautify this. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
We don’t always get to choose what happens to us, life is a lottery, but we can choose how we react to it. Well… at least do our best to choose how. I am not promising frequent updates but when I do you will be seeing a new side of me if you stick around here. A more transparent side I assume. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
If you want to be supportive just focus on HEALTH empowerment. I don’t believe in fighting fire with fire, let’s use water instead. Let’s understand it and cure it. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Final note. I am doing well given the circumstances and I’m ready to tackle this challenge the best I can.

[wolfking]

Wow, that's just awful.  He would be so young too.

[bl5150]

Sorry to hear this..................hope he recovers well.

Pretty sure this is unrelated to his departure from H.E.A.T. though - he mentions it came on suddenly a month ago and he's already been out for some time at that point.

True, I missed that bit I guess. Listening to HEAT at the moment. He has such a great voice.

One of my good friends died of this a few years ago. He went to hospital with a nose bleed that wouldn’t stop and was dead 5 days later. Hopefully they can fix him he sounds confident.

Has anyone heard the Icon of Sin album with Raphael Mendes (aka little Bruce Dickinson?)?

This thing smokes - it's a mini Iron Maiden record!

I think they left all of the softcock stuff off of this album.   

[wolfking]

I'll take note to check it put mate.

[TAC]

I actually had about 10 minutes of computer time this afternoon, and I did drop the needle on it. It sounded interesting. I had no idea it was Raphael.

I've been following the singles as they've been released.  Saw that the full album dropped yesterday, and have it (along with a few others) queued up.

[Big Hath]

it's a two-for-one song spotlight this time from the band Red Dawn.  Bit of a harder rock edge to some of this, especially the vocals, but smooth enough to fit the genre.


Red Dawn - Flyin' High

Red Dawn - Dangerous Child

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyubyS-xtgc

[Grappler]

I keep playing the Icon of Sin record and forgetting that it's a new band.  This feels like a Bruce Dickinson solo album, musically and vocally. 

If Bruce isn't going to do any more solo albums, at least we have Raphael to do them for us!

I think I might have sent it in a roulette..

[bl5150]

Might have used it in a roulette myself.  We were probably both pimping it in here back in the day too Paul       Number 45 in my top 50 also , so has had plenty of discussion over the years.   Certainly an unknown gem of melodic rock and a rather rare CD too back before everything was either streamed or re-released with bonus tracks............or Russian import .

[Big Hath]

another twofer, this time from the band The Storm from their 1995 album Eye of the Storm.  Early 90s band with a few former Journey members.

The Storm - Love Isn't Easy.  This one is kind of a Survivor/Journey mix.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPpYtPeJV_c


The Storm - Livin' It Up.  I'm a sucker for those late-80s/early-90s songs when a hard/melodic rock band would shift into a funky groove.  Just a fun song.

Parked it to listen to tomorrow morning.

[bl5150]

I had this at No 59  (HM) in my Top 50 and Love Isn't Easy is probably the track I would've linked to .  Waiting For The World To Change is also a massive ballad.    At his peak Kevin Chalfant certainly had some pipes.   Not a great fan of Livin It Up myself 

[TAC]

Love Isn't Easy. 

Listening to this song isn't easy.


And that album cover!
Yacht rock.

[Big Hath]

Not a great fan of Livin It Up myself 

haha, that's the main reason I went with two songs again.  That one is surely to be polarizing.  If nothing else, it's certainly a break from the norm for the genre.

[bl5150]

Fight For The Right was my go to song on that album.   It's been so long since that style of AOR was a big part of my life but it's a quality album.

I am shocked that you dislike Love Isn't Cheesy Tim 


I can picture the cover you are thinking of Tim  - there were actually two versions.

I assume you saw this one :






I have the Jap CD with this cover







It was much easier to buy the 2nd cover 

[TAC]

Yeah, WTF kind of cover is this?



And what kind of band pic is this in the sleeve?

While I loved the killer self titled debut, the follow up IMO was nowhere near the quality of The Storm.

Solid but I'm just really not into this style anymore.  That first song was a strong Missing You rip too in the verses.  Nice guitar tone though.

[jingle.boy]

I had a listen to the album, and the nods to Journey were unmistakable.  Good stuff, but I don't know that it'll get much replay value.

[Lowdz]

So I played the new Issa album today and very surprisingly enjoyed it. Her voice has improved and the songs rocked a bit. They were surprisingly well done.

Surprised the shit out of me.

It was a lovely sunny day though, which might have helped.

I don't think we can be friends anymore.
