If you grew up and were a “hard rocker” in the 80s, you obviously know Danish PRETTY MAIDS. In 1984, the band released their first full-length, “Red, Hot & Heavy” and who doesn”t remember the title song and the opening “Back to Back” and others. A pure masterpiece! The debut was followed up by “Future World” in 1987, which sold over 300,000 copies. After the third full-length “Jump the Gun” (1990) the band split up, leaving only guitarist Ken Hammer and vocalist Ron Atkins at the helm. With a new drummer and bassist, the formidable record “Sin-Decade” was released in 1992, which featured the hit “Please Don”t Leave”, a cover of a Sykes/Lynott song. The band has continued to release great albums and the latest “Undress Your Madness” (2019) is no exception. Late in 2019, lead singer Ron Atkins was diagnosed with cancer and the planned shows in early 2020 were cancelled. But by the summer of 2024, Pretty Maids are back, and doing selected gigs. The only one in southern Sweden will be at Time To Rock and we are very proud of that. One of the very best hard rock bands in Scandinavia ever are back!
FRONT ROW WARRIORS, the South German top artists, launched their third single “Chasing Shadows” with a lyric video worth seeing on September 15, 2023 – top-notch AOR/Melodic Metal, as you can enjoy it rather rarely from today’s acts in this fine form.
The catchy uptempo number, which is played in an equally brisk and rousing fluidity, is another excellent song from the enormously substantial debut album “Wheel Of Fortune“, which was released on June 09, 2023 as blue vinyl and CD digipak via ROAR Records – a work that is fantastic in many respects and which continues to receive excellent to completely enthusiastic reviews in the music press!
“Chasing Shadows” tells the tragic love story of two young people who desperately try to escape their ecclesiastical conventions, but ultimately fall apart because of lies and slander, and ultimately both tragically lose their lives. The moving story is based on the Greek mythology “Hero and Leander” by the poet Ovid. Jim Evgenidis of Iconfilmworx skillfully directed “Chasing Shadows“.
Formed in 2019 in Stuttgart by Jay-G, drums (Shining, Sharon), Elkie Gee, vocals (Ampyre, Antares) and Sorin Badin, a well-known Romanian guitarist (Cardinal, Samsara, Crystal Maze) under the name FRONT ROW WARRIORS.
They completed the formation in 2020 with Richie Seibel, keyboards, (Lanfear, Ivanhoe, Them) and Timo Michels, bass, (5th Season, Pump).
