Melodic and catchy hard rock can be heard from LAKEHURST, who come from southern Hesse and present their first self-produced album with Miracles. The quintet’s music is catchy and moves in very moderate areas in terms of hardness (hard rock, not heavy metal).
LE MANS was very much an active part of the hard rock scene in and around San Francisco during the early ’80s. An ad in Guitar Player Magazine led to the formation of the band, featuring guitar hero Derek Frigo (who unfortunately died from a drug overdose in 2004) and future The Storm / Hardline Josh Ramos – both sharing lead & rhythm guitar.
LE MANS 1986’s self-titled (their 2nd and final) album is a mandatory piece in your AOR & Melodic Rock collection. Awesomely remastered by YesterRock Records for the first time, this rocker sounds fabulous.
