BITE THE BULLET – End Of The Line (2022)
Formed in 1986 by vocalist / songwriter Mick Benton and drummer Graham Cowling, BITE THE BULLET released in 1989 a wonderful debut album in the style of Foreigner, Toto and Mr. Mister, still regarded as one of the best AOR album from that era.
Benton and Cowling always remained friends and still played in pubs and clubs over the years which brings is up to 2019 when their debut was reissued on CD. It ignited a flame in the two men and brought the original recording back to the forefront again and old fans reappraised the album whilst new fans joined in. In January 2021 the year started with “Black and White” and the band have gone from strength to strength.
Mick and Graham have continued writing new material and here we are with an exciting new third release “End of the Line” and the result is amazing; the new songs have given the band a 2022 new fresh AOR sound, some kind of mix between FM, SHY and Brian Howe era BAD COMPANY.
