NIGHT RANGER
Frontiers Records is thrilled to announce all details surrounding the release on April 20th 2007 of NIGHT RANGER's come back album "Hole In The Sun".
Like no other band formed in the ‘80s, NIGHT RANGER has both epitomized and transcended the sound and style of that decade. Since original members Jack Blades, Brad Gillis, Kelly Keagy and Jeff Watson reunited in 1996, they have brought their guitar-crunching, melodic brand of hard rock into the 21st century with unparalleled talent, energy and creativity. Rounding out the line-up on keyboards is GREAT WHITE's Michael Lardie.
"Hole in the Sun" the brand new studio album, breaks a 9 years silence and is the culmination of the band's work so far. From the guitar attack of the opener "Tell Your Vision", to the grandeur of a power ballad like "There Is Life", going through straight ahead rock numbers like "Drama Queen" or the title track and with incredible melodic cuts like "Whatever Happened", NIGHT RANGER's new album has everything the fans could ask for.
"It is one of the hardest rocking albums that NIGHT RANGER has ever put out" says band's singer and bass player Jack Blades, "I think it rivals Dawn Patrol for just sheer hard rocking...... just straight ahead American rocking. That's what it sounds like to me."
"Hole In The Sun" draws on the band's classic sound, mixed with a more contemporary style and totally in your face production. According to Blades: "NIGHT RANGER is dual lead guitars, dual lead vocalists, anthemic choruses, big ballads and I think that's what this record is. Describe Night Ranger and you describe this album."
Drummer / singer Kelly Keagy adds: "We wanted to see if we could turn some heads. We wanted to push some boundaries, and Whatever Happened sounds like it could be on radio. I think "Don't Tell me You Love Me" is like Tell Your Vision, except 20 years later. And There Is Life was such a great song to write. We wanted to write another piano ballad like Sister Christian or Sentimental Street."

Tell Your Vision; Drama Queen; You're Gonna Hear It From Me; Whatever Happened; There Is Life; Rock Star; Hole In The Sun; Fool In Me; White Knuckle Ride; Revelation 4 AM; Wrap It Up; Being.
