Im sorry. Im going to start this post with an apology cuz never in my life did I think I would be writing up Loverboy. I wonder if they even have fans?
Remember the red leathers and bandana's? This Canadian band were the darlings of MTV back in the music video days. "Everybody's Working For The Weekend" was nearly and anthem and I can say that their saturation of the radio waves made me skip commercial radio to avoid it. This was drip dry rock and roll clean enough for the freshman.
'Rock 'N' Roll Revival' via Frontiers Records is set for an August 14th release in North America and August 24th in Europe and features nine newly re-recorded Loverboy hits, as well as three brand new songs. Im actually laughing as I write this. Can this band really sustain 30 years later?
Loverboy founder/guitarist and producer of the album, Paul Dean, commented, "The new songs on this album are in the same spirit as our classic material. Working with our old friend, Bob Rock, on 'Heartbreaker' and 'No Tomorrow' was very easy and natural. And, the track 'Rock 'n' Roll Revival' brought Mike Reno and me back to our collaborative spirit of the 80's. As far as the classic hits on the album, these songs are reflective of the evolution of our past 30 years of playing them live."
Next month, Loverboy will hit the road on a nationwide tour as special guests supporting Journey and Pat Benatar featuring Neil Giraldo. Just out of curiousity how come it 'features' Neil now? He's always been part of the band was his ego barking?
The closest they get to us in Jones Beach if you were wanting to rock out with them.
