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.
One of the most representative albums from the classy female fronted AOR / Melodic Rock golden era has been remastered by Rock Candy Records “No Bed Of Roses“, by IF ONLY, featuring superb vocalist Tina Egan. The reissue includes 5 bonus tracks where also the great Jackie Bodimead appears delivering her tremendous vocal pipes.
New CD’s are arriving to our mailbox, and we’re featuring ’em in fake at trashbox. Reissue label Bad Reputation is well known for resurrecting hard to find albums from the ’80s, mostly from the melodic hard rock field. But from time to time, the company surprises us with unexpected releases.
We wanted to capture the energy that is fueled by our fans at our live shows, so we began making live multi-track recordings in May 2019. With this release, we feel that we have captured the spirit of our live shows, both in the passion we have as performers and the frenetic enthusiasm of our fans.
