THE CREEK – Storm The Gate +4 [Escape Music remastered Limited Edition]

As requested, here’s “Storm The Gate” the second album from the THE CREEK, a limited digitally remastered reissue including 4 bonus tracks.
Ex Sugarcreek switched to simply THE CREEK at the mid-Eighties and musically upgraded their sound to the catchy American melodic rock sound from the second half of that decade. This second album under the new moniker was composed / recorded between 1988/1989, so you know what to expect from those years: bigger production, bombastic drums, crunchier guitars and soaring vocals / choruses.

The overall feeling into “Storm The Gate” is a commercial, accessible melodic (hard) rock like on the title track (big chorus and guitars), a fun cover of ‘Hanky Panky’, and ‘Rock Me Tonight’, which I defy anyone not to keep humming after a first listen.
On this remastered reissue we find the previously unreleased tracks (four) recorded after with a new vocalist, Jay Willard (ex-Illusion). At the time, only keys man Rick Lee remains from previous line-ups.
