AOR Records\/Sound Pollution<\/p>\n
Behind the moniker PHOENIX RISING stands guitarist Andrea Maddalone (NEW TROLLS, session musician) and lead vocalist\/drummer Titta Tani (ASHENT, GOBLIN etc). After a successful EP, \u201cGive It a Name\u201d in 2012 the band were on their way. They state influences like BOSTON, JOURNEY, PRIDE OF LIONS and GIANT, and they seem to be aiming very high.<\/p>\n
The eighties poppy opener \u201cNo Lie to Say\u201d boosts electronic sounding retro drums, a nice chorus but alas not the star quality of their peers. On the other hand that may well be the weaker spot on the album, odd choice for an opener. And \u201cIt\u00b4s Up to You and Me\u201d will not please the target group of listeners either. But I believe that both \u201cFade Away\u201d and \u201cOn the Loose Again\u201d will display the right characteristics for AOR fans. And \u201cWritten on a Stone\u201d, \u201cBelieve\u201d, Mr. Dr.\u201d and the re-used \u201cGive It a Name\u201d are all only a tad behind that successful sound of the eighties. This is the bands first full-length effort, over time with this focus they may well be up there with PRIDE OF LIONS. <\/p>\n
