SURRENDER is a melodic rock / AOR powerhouse formed in 1995 in Long Island, New York, with members Paul Carley on vocals, guitarist Mark Mataban with rhythm action Pete Anastosidas on bass and drummer Scott Wade.
Carley’s melodic, soulful vocals lead the charge as Mataban’s stirring guitar melodies combined with Anastosidas’ resonant bass lines and Wade’s rhythmic backbeat to create solid melodic rock in the vein of Firehouse, Danger Danger, Tyketto, etc.
Over the years, SURRENDER has self-released four offerings, and despite minimal distribution, the albums were discovered by dedicated fans of the genre and were well-received, a testament to the band’s dedication and evolution.
With the re-release of their last album “Resurrection” on Heaven and Hell Records now with a world-wide availability, SURRENDER invites listeners on a nostalgic journey to the ’80s through their sonic landscape of well-crafted melodic songs.
With the help of AOR expert Hugo Valenti (Valentine, Open Skyz, Ramos-Hugo) on vocal arrangements, from the anthemic “Always Where You Are” each track resonates with listeners profoundly. Songs such as “Somehow, Someday” and “Miss You Already” explore themes of love and longing, while “Where Do We Go From Here” and “Don’t Walk Away” offer messages of resilience and hope.
A really cool album limited to 500 copies.
