OUTLOUD, the Greece based hard-rocking outfit featuring Bob Katsionis (Firewind) Mark Cross (ex-Helloween, Firewind) and singer Chandler Mogel (ex-Talon), following their succesful 2009 debut "We'll Rock You To Hell And Back Again!" from Frontiers Records, return with "Waiting For Your Love", a brand new track for 2011 from their upcoming sophomore album, "Love Catastrophe".
The song can be heard exclusively on the Greek music community site JUMPING FISH on their personal page under www.jumpingfish.gr/outloud. This site serves as the launchpad for the "Be the opening act on Bon Jovi's Athens Show,July 20th" competition - for which Outloud are seeking your help to get the slot!
The song is mixed by Danish engineer Tommy Hansen know from his work with Helloween, TNT, Pretty Maids etc., and produced by Bob Katsionis who also states about their participation in this competition:
"I'm not a fan of music competitions, in fact I dont find any meaning to most of them,since the only thing you have to "win" with your music is to touch the hearts of your listeners. This particular contest though,is a fine chance to get our music heard by a different set of fans and not only this of rock/metal which in Greece is kinda difficult to reach. We don't wanna be rockstars overnight,and we're not the typical "opening band" who just want to be famous. In fact OUTLOUD have never yet played before anyone! We just believe in our music and we want to take it as far as we can."
