V.A. – 0dayrox Advanced Releases March May 2021 – Vol.3
There’s a lot of really good singles / advances from albums to come in the next months, and it’s time to taste the best of them in our classic 0dayrox Advanced Releases sampler. Some officially released, some press-only advances, others standalone singles not to be included into an album.
‘March / May 2021 – Vol.3‘ includes a new EASY ACTION tune composed by Kee Marcello which sounds a lot like 80s JOURNEY, a new killer single from a MIDNITE CITY, great AOR tunes from REVLIN PROJECT and ARKADO, an awesome cover of VAN HALEN’s ‘Dreams’ done by synthwave-AORsters ARENA, a new RETURN song, GARY HUGHES, FARCRY, RONNIE ATKINS, SUNBOMB (the new Tracii Guns & Michael Sweet project), and more.
Your soundtrack for this weekend!
EASY ACTION has released a new song, “Dazed”. Says Kee Marcello; “Since we were reunited at Sweden Rock Festival 2019, we have been looking for ways to make music again. Covid put a stop to basically everything .. We have had this song lying around for a long time, and since the lyrics have become more and more relevant during the last year, we felt that we wanted it out of our systems. That’s why we’re releasing it”. Great lyrics and a Journey feeling all over it.
‘Take Me To You’ is the second single from REVLIN PROJECT’s upcoming album ‘Trascender’ to be released by Lions Pride Music. If there’s a band with that traditional AOR sound out there, this should be the one. Lots of keys and harmonies.
Hot on the heels of two highly acclaimed albums, MIDNITE CITY return in 2021 with their highly anticipated third album due in May. ‘Atomic‘ sums up what this band is all about in under four minutes. It’s a melodic rocking song about forgetting your problems, living for the minute and having a damn good time whilst you’re at it.
Synthwave artist Joey ARENA said; ”If I could find the soundtrack to my childhood, no song would compete with “Dreams”. He has done a lovely cover of the famous Van Halen tune, a drastic transformation and risky one too, but Arena nailed it in such a way that it really underscores EVH’s subtle genius behind the keys as the guitars take the backseat on this cover.
“Arena’s cover of ‘Dreams,’ could be my favorite cover anyone has done of any of my songs. I’ll give it five stars and a must hear.” – Sammy Hagar
