AIRLESS – Best of & Rarities (1999 – 2014)

*

After almost 15 years of existence, Spanish AOR / Melodic Rockers AIRLESS are presenting their first “Best Of” album including some previously unreleased material.
Since its foundation the band recorded four records and toured with the likes of Jeff Scott Soto, Vega, Serpentine, Houston and Reckless Love.

The band’s style, whilst based on the classic American melodic hard rock sound features modern European hallmarks in certain chord progressions and melodies. So you have the best of both worlds here.
Throughout “Best of & Rarities” you will find solid arrangements with catchy melodies and soaring choruses, compelling, passionate lead vocals, a strong keyboard presence and some great guitar work courtesy of the skilled Robert Rodrigo, influenced by the likes of Eddie Valen or Neal Schon.

You can’t go wrong with songs such as “The Truth”, “Now or Never”, “Crying for Your Love”, “Till the End of Time”, or the powerful AOR ballad “Time to Say Goodbye”.
As bonus the band offers the unreleased cuts “Far Away” from their third album sessions, the hot rocker “The Reason”, and “Second Chance”, originally only appeared in the compilation ‘Embrace The Sun’, the Japan Benefit project for the Fukushima nuclear disaster.

Soon there will be a physical release of “Best of & Rarities” including a bonus disc limited to 500 units only.
Meanwhile, enjoy this adequate resume of Airless’ career, a very good and underrated band.
