H.E.A.T - 'Tearing Down The Walls' Album trailer

H.e.a.t releases their new studio album 'Tearing Down The Walls' on April 11th, 2014 via earMUSIC and reveals the first song 'A Shot At Redemption' of the same titled 4-track EP - out on February 14th, 2014


"What can you say about H.E.A.T? If you don't like these energetic Swedes you must be dead inside, as this year they've shown the UK crowd how to be the most complete band on the planet." - Classic Rock UK


April 11th, 2014 sees the release of the long awaited new studio album 'Tearing Down The Walls' by Swedish rock band H.E.A.T via earMUSIC.

Once again the band decided the move into the infamous Bohus studio with Grammy award winning producer Tobias Lindell and created an explosive, fresh sound.

The first sneak peak of the album is the lead single 'A Shot At  Redemption'. It confirms all that H.E.A.T showed before and more: a catchy hookline, a driven beat, the obligatory guitar solo and the raw, beyond comparison vocals of singer Erik Grönwall.

'A Shot At Redemption' will be released as part of a 4-track CD single, a 10" vinyl and download on February 14th, 2014 via earMUSIC. Both physical releases will surely become rare collector's items, being made available in strictly limited quantities.

Added on top to the 'A Shot At Redemption'-EP are the previously unreleased 'Under Your Skin', a goosebumps worthy acoustic version of H.E.A.T's 'In And Out Of Trouble' and a sensual cover of one of the greatest ballads, 'She's Like The Wind'.

Four songs to enjoy the energetic and explosive side of H.E.A.T and their great talent for ballads, to ease the wait for the very anticipated new studio album.

'Tearing Down The Walls' -- their brand new studio work -- is the follow-up to the successful 'Address The Nation' which was praised by media worldwide as one of the best album's in 2012 and consolidated the band's reputation as the new leading band in hard edged melodic rock.

H.E.A.T had a huge hit in Scandinavia with the song '1000 Miles' in 2009 and the band's 2nd Album, 'Freedom Rock', was  nominated as one of the Top 50 albums in 2010 by Classic Rock Magazine UK. Since then, they have been touring all over the world, convincing everyone with their powerful performance.

In a moment when artists like Foreigner, Journey and Whitesnake are enjoying a second youth, when teenagers are re-discovering the melodic approach to hard rock which these artists have mastered and when proudly wearing their logo on T-shirts all of a
sudden turned "hip", when classic hard rock songs are again in the single charts and among the most downloaded ... -- H.E.A.T is the hope for carrying this genre to the future. They are young, ambitious and full of energy.

H.E.A.T's music is not a revival, and it's not nostalgic. Still... it's by far the best you can have today if you love "classic rock" or "AOR"... or more simply if you think that rock music means energy, great songs, and the ambition to be on top of the world...

The band will hit the road in 2014 with more shows to be added:

07.03. Support for Scorpions -- Madrid (ESP)
24.10. Firefest -- Nottingham (UK)

H.E.A.T line-up:

Erik Grönwall -- Vocals

Jona Tee -- Keyboards
Jimmy Jay -- Bass
Crash -- Drums

L.R.S. - Down to the Core EPK (Official / 2014 / Feat. La Verdi, Ramos, ...

Frontiers Records is pleased to announce the release of L.R.S. debut album "Down to the Core" on March 21st in Europe and March 25th in North America.

L.R.S. stands for the new Melodic Rock musical alliance between singer Tommy La Verdi (21 Guns), guitarist Josh Ramos (The Storm, Hardline) and drummer Michael Shotton (Von Groove, irtime). Started initially as a way to bring back to the public the amazing vocal talent of Tommy LaVerdi, a singer which came to the attention of the fans on the fabulous 21 GUNS debut album "Salute" in 1992, the whole project morphed into a power band trio when two other well known musicians: guitar player Josh Ramos and drummer Michael Shotton were brought into the picture by the album producer Alessandro Del Vecchio (HARDLINE).

The writing sessions were fast and steady, with Del Vecchio managing all contributions from the band members -- who lived in different places - and offering a number of his own writings and co-writings to the band, which was anyway able to develop a distinctive Melodic Rock sound in the tradition of JOURNEY / THE STORM, with hints of Canadian AOR - think mid 80's TRIUMPH. Recording sessions happened for the most part in Somma Lombardo, Italy during the spring of 2013, with the musicians getting along extremely well and creating a spontaneous  camaraderie which contributed a lot to the success of the sessions.

"I respected a lot both Josh and Michael before starting the album and it was actually very sad to leave each other
after we finished recording and filming the videos" said Tommy La Verdi, while Michael Shotton added "It was like we had been playing in a band for years!". "I had the opportunity to try different styles and moods and incorporate elements of my past musical experiences in The Storm and Hardline -- I was very glad to be involved in this", concludes Josh Ramos.

The resulting album" Down to the Core" is now finally ready to be unleashed to the public. With soaring vocals from LaVerdi, a superb vocalist who comes back into the well deserved spotlight  and some exquisite guitar playing from Ramos, this is an album not to be missed and an AOR highlight for early 2014!

Europe Live At Sweden Rock "Last Look At Eden" (HD)

Europe "Live At Sweden Rock -- 30th Anniversary Show"
Directed by Patric Ullaeus | www.revolver.se

On June 7th, Europe took the stage in their home country Sweden for a very special occasion: celebrating 30 years of rock music. The Swedish rock band celebrated this event together with 30,000 people at the famous Sweden Rock Festival, playing a total selection of 28 songs, picking their personal favourite moments spanning from their earlier years up to their most recent songs taken from albums like "Last Look At Eden" and "Bag Of Bones"; for the lovers of statistics and rarities some of the songs had never been played live before.
The bombastic greatest hits show also has its soulful moment when the band sits down for an emotional acoustic set which gives the massive arena show a club feeling before the band goes back to the hard rock they are known for.

To pay tribute to some of their biggest heroes, Europe invited two very special guests to perform with them: Scott Gorham (Thin Lizzy) for an electrifying version of 'Jailbreak' and Michael Schenker (MSG, ex UFO and Scorpions) for one of hard rock's evergreens, UFO's classic 'Lights Out'.
The set list is full of treasures and surprises but Europe were determined to celebrated and enjoy their long record of hit singles: like 'Carrie', 'Rock The Night', 'Superstitious', ´Open Your Heart´, 'Last Look At Eden', ´Prisoners in Paradise´, 'New Love In Town' and, of course, the ever-present and always electrifying 'The Final Countdown'.

Over two hours and forty minutes of concert footage, in a state of the art High Definition movie featuring behind the scenes material and an exclusive interview with the band makes "Live At Sweden Rock -- 30th Anniversary Show" the definitive Europe live experience!
