As part of the ‘Norske Albumklassikere 80-tallet’ series from the excellent Norwegian reissue label Norske Albumklassikere – which seems to have access to almost every Norwegian release from the 70s and 80s – comes the reissue of ROAD, a hard rock band from Oslo established in the early ’80s.
Originally only released on vinyl 12”, ROAD’s 1985’s EP ”Running Away” became a collector’s item from AOR / melodic hard rock aficionados all over the world because the band adopted here the American sound & style for the genre. Road’s songs resemble here the likes of Hurricane, with classic hare rock melodies, clean guitar riffs, layered vocals and commercial choruses.
