Sometimes it's fun to just write and record good
music with good friends for the fun of it and not be so pretentious
about it. This project started with well known Swedish guitarist/song
writer/producer Tommy Denander (RADIOACTIVE/ SAYIT) when he
and his partner Chris Demming (AOR, SPIN GALLERY) had written
a lot of cool songs for various artists and found themselves
with a lot of very good but unused AOR songs.
Tommy asked Georg
Siegl, owner of AOR Heaven, if he'd be interested in releasing
an album with these songs if Tommy would gather a bunch of well
known guests for it. Of course he said yes and the work on the
debut album by DEACON STREET PROJECT began.
Within a few days
Tommy had asked people like Jan Johansen (IGNITION), Jamie Meyer
(Popstars), Bruce Gaitsch (RICHARD MARX, MADONNA), Marcel Jacob
(TALISMAN, YNGWIE), Magnus Weinemo (SPIN GALLERY), Lars Chriss
(LION’s SHARE), Jeff Northrup (XYZ) and SAYIT to appear on it.
With Chris & Tommy
on the producing spot they recorded the album in a couple of
month’s time with a lot of fun and good spirit. The songs are
classic melodic rock in the style of JOURNEY, GIANT, TOTO etc.
and the performances really show the fun everybody had while
recording them.
Tommy says: “If
you're a serious fan of classy melodic rock you won't be disappointed
with the quality of this release, don't mistake it for a cheap
and fast way to get some leftover songs out....it's top class
from start to finish and well deserved to be checked out. Hope
you’ll enjoy it.”
This is it – if
you like catchy hooks and great melodies DEACON STREET PROJECT
will definitely be an album for yours!
