Album-oriented rock (abbreviated AOR) is an American FM radio format focusing on album tracks by rock artists. AOR evolved from progressive rock radio in the mid-1970s, using research and formal programming to create an album rock format with greater commercial appeal.
English melodic hard rockers MIDNITE CITY hit the scene like a blast with their first two albums “Midnite City” (2017) und “There Goes The Neighbourhood” (2018). Frontman Rob Wylde (Tigertailz, ex Vega), Pete Newdeck (Newman, Eden’s Curse) and the rest of guys live the band to the fullest and deliver great party-ready melodic rock with AOR touches.

B.O.W (Brotherhood Of Wolves) born in 2021 after a historical pandemic when Tommy López (Drums and composer) and Vladimir Emelin – lyricist for the last album Ken Hensley (Uriah Heep) – decided to create a rock n’ roll band mixing the classic style from the Seventies & Eighties with a contemporary sound.
Today we presented the two official albums by British AOR / Melodic Rockers ANGELS OR KINGS, an ’80s band that struggled for almost three decades to get their music properly recorded & released.
As requested, here’s the LITTLE RIVER BAND 1986’s album “No Reins“, remastered with a crystal clear sound and including two bonus tracks. LRB is one of Australia’s most successful bands achieving commercial success in both Australia and the United States. They have sold more than 30 million records, and while their peak was in the late Seventies, the group continued releasing impressive albums.
