"STRIKER ‘STRUCK BY LIGHTNING’ (INDEPENDENT)
Sweden has done it again! Sensational Melodic Rock from a new band called STRIKER. In fact, these guys are looking very young, probably still in their 10s! Anyway, from out of nowhere they sent me this mini-CD with 3 tracks that sound quite superb, really pure 80s catchy Melodic Rock, reminding a lot of H.E.A.T., HEAVEN and WORK OF ART. Of course 20+ years ago there were hundreds of bands in Sweden playing this style, but it is so good to see a whole new movement going on in Sweden with new young bands playing the same kinda Melodic Rock. STRIKER is the latest sensation and the 3 songs included on this mini-CD are really awesome. Opener “Struck by lightning” is a fantastic uptempo melodic rocker with a chorus that will never go out of your head after you heard it the first time. Followed closely by the midtempo AOR Ballad “Is this love” we are in Swed Melodic Rock Heaven for sure. Besides the catchy choruses, the vocalwork is very good and instrumental these 6 guys also provide a lot to respect. Closing track is the lovely TOTOish semi AOR/Westcoast tune “Underneath the stars”. Check out this band asap at: www.striker.nu
(Points: 8.8 out of 10)" as they could become the next big thing to follow HEAT, WORK OF ART, THE POODLES and STURM UND DRANG, just waiting to get signed soon by a melodic rocklabel out there!
