As a song writer and producer, it was a dream come true mining some lost gems from my many years in rock, producing them to a new lustre and even writing three brand new cuts with Marc and Jennifer - Cuts Deep, The Harder I Try and the title track BattleZone.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;">Andrew McNeice and Danette Pahl of Melodic Rock Records gave me the artistic leeway and financial support to create the album of a lifetime.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;">Working with one of the best engineers in the business, Larry Millas, and musicians like multiple Grammy Award Winner Bill Champlin of Chicago, bassist Bill Syniar (formerly of Survivor), Mike Aquino (guitarist and singer from World Stage), and two-time Grammy Nominated saxophonist, Mindi Abair, along with Dave Kelly and Bryan Cole, brought depth and texture to the tracks that is palpable.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;">You can hear our excitement in every song. I guess you can see I'm pumped.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;">I dare you to crank up BattleZone or Tender Fire or Crazy Love and not rediscover why you fell in love with melodic rock in the first place. I double dare ya!!”</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;"><strong>Jennifer Batten:</strong> “It was such a pleasure to jump into such a high-level inspiring project! Marc’s vocals are out of this world, the grooves are kickin’, and working with Jim Peterik is so joyous and creative. I can’t wait to take this to the stage!”</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;">And finally, the vocalist fronting this extraordinary project, <strong>Marc Scherer</strong>: “Even something as innocuous as lunch with Jim Peterik can inspire great things…</span></div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;">It was during one such meeting that Jim and I conceived of an album showcasing his lost musical treasures. Thanks to the contributions of long-time Peterik enthusiast and personal friend Danette Pahl, we now have lift-off!</span></div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;">While the brain trust of talent surrounding Jim enhances any idea, this album is extra special because it features a collaboration with one of the world’s greatest guitarists, Jennifer Batten – who played three world tours with Michael Jackson and two with Jeff Beck. They say you know when it’s right in the first 30 seconds, but in this case, you can sense the magic in the first few notes. BattleZone blends the songwriting craftsmanship and storytelling genius of Jim Peterik with the artistry of some of the most amazing musicians in the business. As Jennifer observed, the battle can be internal: the fight to be better, to raise the bar and challenge yourself while stirring the musical cauldron. I truly believe that we have captured lightning in a bottle and I’m so eager for everyone to share in this experience.”</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;"><strong>Scherer/Batten</strong> <em>‘BattleZone Deluxe Edition’</em> will be released via <strong>MelodicRock Classics </strong>on CD & Digital July 26.</span></div> <div> </div> <p> </p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-free-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-inline clearfix"><div class="field-label">Tags: </div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/tags/schererbatten" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Scherer/Batten</a></div></div></div> <div class="link-share-comment"><a href="/articles/melodicrock-classics-label/2024/06/14/schererbatten-battlezone-deluxe-edition-out-july-26">Share & Add Comment</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="clear-both"> </div> </div><!-- /.node --> </div> <div class="views-row views-row-3 views-row-odd"> <div id="node-7234" class="node node-article node-promoted view-mode-full clearfix" about="/articles/2024/05/29/van-stephenson-same-pen-different-voices-arrives-july-26-mrc" typeof="sioc:Item foaf:Document"> <div class="teaser-date" > <div class="side"> <div class="dayD">Wed</div> <div class="day">29</div> <div class="month">May</div> </div> <div class="node-side"> <h2 class="node-title"><a href="/articles/2024/05/29/van-stephenson-same-pen-different-voices-arrives-july-26-mrc">VAN STEPHENSON 'Same Pen, Different Voices' Arrives July 26 on MRC</a></h2> <span property="dc:title" content="VAN STEPHENSON 'Same Pen, Different Voices' Arrives July 26 on MRC" class="rdf-meta element-hidden"></span> <div class="content event-calendar event_calendar"> <div class="group-column-right field-group-div"><div class="group-general-wrapper field-group-div"><div class="field field-name-field-artist field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-inline clearfix"><div class="field-label">Artist: </div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/artist/van-stephenson" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Van Stephenson</a></div></div></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img typeof="foaf:Image" src="https://www.melodicrock.com/sites/default/files/styles/home_content_image_thumb/public/field/image/Van%20Stephenson%20-%20Same%20Pen%2C%20Different%20Voices800.jpg?itok=HdkSqvdx" alt="" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><div><span style="font-size:16px;">The arrival of any new <strong>VAN STEPHESON</strong> music is met with huge anticipation. This release is just a little different from the norm, but no less exciting or musically brilliant.</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;">This is <strong>Van Stephenson</strong>, but with a little help from his friends.</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;">As most will be aware, over the course of the last couple of years, I have been archiving Van’s vast collection of unreleased songs and demos. There are more than 500, covering all styles from 70s singer/songwriter, 80s AOR and pop to 90s country…and then some.</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;">The ultimate goal is to pay tribute to Van with some form of all-inclusive box set/s. During the course of sorting the archives into categories, a certain number of tracks were found to feature vocalists other than Van. I decided that the box sets should be dedicated to just Van with his songs, so the idea came to put together a separate release that featured these songs - Van’s own or co-written demos and the various vocalists used on those original sessions.</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;"><strong>Hence the title – ‘<em>Same Pen, Different Voices</em>’.</strong></span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;">And while Van’s voice may be absent from this release – his spirit and his style are all over it, with some absolute melodic classics about to be launched. This is a double disc of lost <strong>Van Stephenson</strong> tunes written with many of his regular writing partners such as <strong>Dave Innis, Sam Lorber, Robert White Johnson, Bob Farrell </strong>and <strong>Dave Robbins</strong>.</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;">But that isn’t all. Lost among the hundreds of songs were a set of session tracks written with <strong>Dann Huff </strong>for the classic <strong>Giant</strong> <em>‘Time To Burn’</em> album. One of those songs has already been featured on the ‘<em>Van’s Versions</em>’ release (‘Get Over It’), but I’m excited to announce the others will all make their debut on this release and they all feature the voice of <strong>Dann Huff</strong> himself.</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;">Three of these tracks have never been released before and I must thank <strong>Dann</strong> for his co-operation in this release and allowing the tracks to finally see the light of day.</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;">They may have been lost for 30 years, but they are magnificent!</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;">It doesn’t stop there – there is a trilogy of songs co-written with <strong>Jaime Kyle</strong> (previously released), two featuring vocalist <strong>Robert White Johnson</strong> and another featuring <strong>TJ Seals</strong>, son of <strong>Dan Seals</strong>.</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;">Sadly, we couldn’t ask Van himself about the details behind these songs, so many are still missing credits and even the vocalists themselves are unknown in many cases. I have managed to fill in the details behind some of them thanks to the co-writers, but to all those that are featured on the songs – thank you for adding your talents to Van’s legacy and please know that the performances delivered some 20-30 years ago now live on today and sound as good as ever.</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;">Disc 1 is all male lead vocals; Disc 2 is mostly female lead vocals.</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;"><strong>Van Stephenson – Same Pen, Different Voices 2CD set will be released by MelodicRock Classics July 26.</strong></span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;">The debut of the rocking <strong>Giant</strong> demo <em>‘Holding On For Dear Life’</em> will happen this Saturday on Steve Price’s Rock Show on ARfm – tune in via <a href="http://www.arfm.co.uk/">www.arfm.co.uk</a></span></div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;">The song will be launched online here next week.</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;">The awesome cover art is the brainchild of <strong>Arnaud Leger.</strong></span></div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;"><strong>Track Listing:</strong></span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;"><strong>CD1:</strong></span></div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;">01.

Titled ‘Sex Crimes’, this was our 2nd and last album for Music For Nations and the fact that Elektra Records in the States (who had licenced the first album from MFN) hadn’t taken up the option of a 2nd album, meant the budget for this album was nowhere near what we had for ‘Borderland’. When it came to the cover art, the label had gone ahead and designed it without consulting us, and it was quite a shock to see they’d gone with a topless woman with angel wings and a whip! It all felt so seedy and we both hated it. Then they told us there was no budget left to re-design it! So it feels so good to be able to finally re-package the whole thing in a much cooler way, and also with a new name, both of us feeling that ‘Dangerzone’ is a better and more representative lead track for the record. Finally, to have the whole thing re-mastered is a real joy, getting it in a better place sonically rounds things off perfectly.”</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;">So with that said, <strong>RIO</strong> <em>‘Dangerzone’</em> will be released by MRC June 30, with new artwork from the band completed off by resident designer <strong>Nello Dell’Omo</strong> and remastered by <strong>JK Northrup</strong>.</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;"><strong>Track Listing:</strong></span></div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;">01.

Bob (the oldest) playing an accordion, Desiree (the only sister) on the piano, and Blaine on the drums. The younger siblings Troy and Lance joined the band as they got a little older 5 and 3 years, adding the charm of this group of kids on the stage. Their journey took them on a 24-year fun ride playing shows across the US, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Caribbean as a show band, opening for numerous headliners in the casino showrooms and at State fairgrounds across the land.</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;">Their love for harmonies and writing songs came from the many hours spent at the piano with "Uncle Jim Hickman", the barbershop chorus director who came to the house every Monday night in the young years of the Muggs. The recording career started in 1972-73 with their first album "Little Red School House", followed by the 1977 album "The Muglestons".</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;">Working on their song writing skills and making music became one of their favorite things to do when not on the road. In 1983 "Subject of Assault" was filled with originals, 1985 "Rockin In The Midnight Light" led to their last two albums as a group. A home studio recorded album of songs performed on stage for their fans wanting to capture the performance 1986 "The Muggs Live" and an all original album in 1988 "Touche". We are looking forward to sharing the three original albums again with our fans and some new listeners.</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;">Lance Mugleston, the guitar man, continued to write and record albums after The Muggs came to an end in 1992. "Carousel" and "While The Giant Sleeps" are both albums that are timeless and great albums.</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;">Enjoy the music.</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;"><strong>Subject Of Assault, Rockin The Midnight Light and Touche are all released May 31 on MelodicRock Classics.</strong></span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;"><strong><iframe frameborder="0" height="315" scrolling="no" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wi61XGt_LJo?si=2-PDyH-Yi77nCKYr" width="560"></iframe></strong></span></div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;"><strong><iframe frameborder="0" height="315" scrolling="no" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/x4gwaaquBLM?si=T_vh01l4JRKQwp6h" width="560"></iframe></strong></span></div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;"><strong><iframe frameborder="0" height="315" scrolling="no" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/YafJmpeT9hg?si=6VIykk95-B6eyzmB" width="560"></iframe></strong></span></div> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-free-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-inline clearfix"><div class="field-label">Tags: </div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/tags/muggs" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">The Muggs</a></div></div></div> <div class="link-share-comment"><a href="/articles/melodicrock-classics-label/2024/05/02/muggs-triple-album-delivery-cd-first-time-may-31">Share & Add Comment</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="clear-both"> </div> </div><!-- /.node --> </div> <div class="views-row views-row-6 views-row-even"> <div id="node-7232" class="node node-article node-promoted view-mode-full clearfix" about="/articles/melodicrock-classics-label/2024/05/02/big-game-mega-rarity-remaster-reissue-melodicrock" typeof="sioc:Item foaf:Document"> <div class="teaser-date" > <div class="side"> <div class="dayD">Thu</div> <div class="day">02</div> <div class="month">May</div> </div> <div class="node-side"> <h2 class="node-title"><a href="/articles/melodicrock-classics-label/2024/05/02/big-game-mega-rarity-remaster-reissue-melodicrock">BIG GAME Mega Rarity Remaster & Reissue on MelodicRock Classics May 31</a></h2> <span property="dc:title" content="BIG GAME Mega Rarity Remaster & Reissue on MelodicRock Classics May 31" class="rdf-meta element-hidden"></span> <div class="content event-calendar event_calendar"> <div class="group-column-right field-group-div"><div class="group-general-wrapper field-group-div"><div class="field field-name-field-artist field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-inline clearfix"><div class="field-label">Artist: </div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/artist/big-game" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Big Game</a></div></div></div></div><div class="group-showcase-wrapper field-group-div"><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-inline clearfix"><div class="field-label">Categories: </div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">MelodicRock Classics Label</div></div></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img typeof="foaf:Image" src="https://www.melodicrock.com/sites/default/files/styles/home_content_image_thumb/public/field/image/biggame-cover500.jpg?itok=4S6p-DJd" alt="" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><div><span style="font-size:16px;"><strong>MelodicRock Classics</strong> goes back to the mid-90s to uncover audio from one of the rarest indie EPs released at the time.

Nep’s reputation as an accomplished Bassist and Songwriter is well known in the Detroit area, and not only confirms his maturity as a pocket groove player, but also in his contributions as a performer and songwriting team player.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;">Last but certainly not least on Guitars and Vocals is Dan Strickland (D.E.Z., Wolfgang). Dan’s extensive musical background and classical training often fuels his creative fire as a soloist and songwriter. A multi-instrumentalist, Dan’s use of musical textures adds to the identifiable edge and energy of the band, which is undeniable on tracks like “The Assassin” and Instrumental “Goin Off”.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;">This Lineup produced an original 5 song EP released in 1996. With 12 other songs that never made it past the Demo stage and live performance, the band went on to headline regional shows and provide support for acts like The Spin Doctors, Vince Neil, .38 Special and more until the turn of the decade.</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;"><strong>BIG GAME is released via MelodicRock Classics May 31.</strong></span></div> <div> </div>

style="font-size:16px;"><strong>About Chris Antblad:</strong></span></div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;">Chris Antblad was a big part of the songwriting and vocal talent behind the Spin Galley release <em>‘Standing Tall’</em>, which came out on Atenzia Records in 2004.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;">That's just the start - Chris Antblad has spent the better part of his adult life as a musician and primarily as a songwriter. A mix of versatility and exceptional lyricism, has led to many interesting collaborations over the years. Primarily, the songwriting has been concentrated on adult oriented rock music and country. Two styles of music that both are reliant on advanced vocal-parts and arrangements.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;">After a few years of songwriting, the necessity for good demos fostered a vocal ability that in later years led to more and more vocal work. Growing up outside the Swedish music scene, there was little to choose from, in terms of vocalists, and necessity once again turned out to be the mother of invention. He was forced to learn the art of singing, and after a couple of uncomfortable years, he found himself a decent singer. Combined with the experience as a session keyboard player, with a lot of jazz under the belt, and decent abilities on guitar and bass, the quality of the work started to reach a professional level.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;">The songwriting led to Nashville and collaborations with some of his heroes like John Bettis, Gary Baker, Eric Martin, Paul Carrack, Michael Jay, Joe Lynn Turner, John Capek, Randy Goodrum, Jay Graydon, Brett James and Wayne Kirkpatrick. His interest for AOR always lingered as a result of growing up in the 80-ies and has led to a long-time collaboration with Joe Lynn Turner and a few noted appearances, one of which was the noted one-off Spin Gallery project.</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;"><strong>‘Chris Antblad – Collected Works Vol. 1’ Features:</strong></span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;"><strong>Disc One - Age Of Concord III: The Last Day Of Summer (2020)</strong></span></div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;"><strong>Disc Two - Age Of Concord: America (2020)</strong></span></div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;"><strong>Disc Three - Age Of Concord IV (2021)</strong></span></div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;"><strong>Disc Four - Age Of Concord 80 (2021)</strong></span></div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;"><strong>Disc Five - Sweet Surrender (2022)</strong></span></div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;"><strong>Disc Six - The End Of The Beginning (2022)</strong></span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;"><strong>Full Track Listing:</strong></span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;"><strong>DISC ONE Age Of Concord III: The Last Day Of Summer</strong></span></div> <div><span style="font-size:16px;">01.

In 1981 Waller formed pop rock group Lionheart in Sydney with Evan Murray on keyboards, Martyn Toole on guitar, and his two brothers: John Waller on drums and Kendall Waller on bass guitar - the group was soon renamed as Avion.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size:14px;">Avion signed with RCA Records and, in September 1983, released their debut self-titled album, mixed by Bob Clearmountain at the Power Station recording studio in NYC. The album spawned three singles, "I Need You" (March 1983), "Diamond Eyes" (September) and "Never Let Me Go" (October).</span></div> <div><span style="font-size:14px;">In August 1984 the group issued a non-album single, "Still the Night". Paul Gannell replaced Toole on guitar and, in September 1985, released "We've Got Secrets" on RCA. In 1986, the band signed a deal with EMI Records and "Celebration" appeared in September. In 1987 the band's second album, “White Noise”, followed.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size:14px;">In September 1987 Evan Murray died in a car accident while the group were on tour and the band essentially disbanded.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size:14px;">Randall Waller remaining in the industry, working as a producer, engineer, and then guitarist in Shania Twain’s band.</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>TRACK LISTINGS:</strong></span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Avion – Avion (1983)</strong></span></div> <div><span style="font-size:14px;">01.
