TED POLEY
Frontiers Records is proud to welcome onboard TED POLEY for the release of his forthcoming solo album entitled "Smile" on October 19th 2007 !
Best known as lead vocalist for the legendary Melodic Rock masters DANGER DANGER, Ted has also fronted in the past few years such bands as BONEMACHINE, with whom he has recorded 2 successful studio and 1 live album, MELODICA with Austrian guitarist Gerhard Pichler. He started his solo career with the release of "Collateral Damage" in 2006.
"My new cd Smile continues where Collateral Damage left off" explains Ted, "however it is much more evolved with amazing guitar work by JK Northrup. I am sure the guitar fans and players out there will be totally pleased. JK's lead work is off the hook".
Helping Ted on the album are the aforementioned JK Northrup (ex KING KOBRA and NORTHRUP / SHORTINO) on guitar and bass, Eric Ragno (Ramos, Takara) on keyboards and Dan Zoid on drums, with Vic Rivera appearing on guitars on "Smile" and "Will Ya". Ted co-wrote most of the songs together with Tom and James Martin (Khymera, House of Lords).
"I know everyone says that their new cd is their best but this one really is!" states Ted "I wanted to be myself but sound as great as possible, work with the best musicians and start out the best songs. I co-wrote a lot with some of my own personal favourite writers around the world. I am a very happy guy these days. I am still having the fun of remaining in DANGER DANGER and at the same time I am having fun, thus the title "Smile". It reflects perfectly my current mood as well as my live show attitude. I am a very happy guy when I am doing music!"
Tracklisting of "Smile" includes the following songs:
Waiting Line; Going Blind; Smile; What If She Knew; More Than Goodbye; Luv On Me; If You Can't Change Your Heart (Then Let Me Blow Your Mind); Why Can't We Pretend That It's Over?; Life Keeps Me Spinning Round; Where It Ends; Will Ya; Reprise (If You Can't Change Your Heart)
Don't forget that TED POLEY will attend, as DANGER DANGER frontman, the UNITED FORCES OF ROCK Festival in Ludwigsburg (near Stuttgart), Germany on September 30th 2007 !
"Smile" will be in all fine record shops in Europe from October 19th. Don't miss TED POLEY's ultimate Melodic Rock masterpiece !
