FrontGlen Burtnick’s name is quite known in the AOR of the universe since the 80s, more especially the excellent “Talking In Code” , his first solo album. An incredibly melodic, well written AOR music from 1986 that unfortunately got lost in the incredible musical year that was 1986.

Front_1

Music was everything for Thomas Riekerk and his brother Robert Riekerk when they grew up in the Netherlands and AOR was Thomas’ first love. Band posters of Bad English, Giant, Toto and Foreigner were all over the walls of their rooms and in every corner there were guitars and amps. Back then music was not available digitally so the record store became their second home, when they were in search of that one album that was only available through import.

The songs are terrific, plenty of hooky riffs and superb solos, catchy choruses and lovely harmony vocals; true '80s American Melodic Hard Rock with AOR touches, punchy but polished & clean.

1370923101_frontTime and again it's amazing that especially Melodic Rock produces those so-called "super-groups". THE SIGN is another addition to the long list of that category, because all members are known from at least one other band: Keyboarder Mark Mangold (TOUCH, AMERICAN TEARS, DRIVE SHE SAID, FLESH & BLOOD, MYSTIC HEALER), guitarist Randy Jackson (ZEBRA), singer Terry Brock (STRANGEWAYS, LE ROUX), bassist Billy Greer (STREETS, KANSAS) and drummer Bobby Rondinelli (RAINBOW, BLACK SABBATH, BLUE OYSTER CULT).

StairwayThe sound is loaded with those magnificent keyboards, uptempo melodic songs and some killer guitar and vocals that remind me so much of other great Swiss bands, KC ROSE and SATROX with elements of Germany's BIG RAT and ROBIN mixed in to intensify the end result......if you are a fan of any of these bands, this one won't miss the mark!!
