A RISING FORCE – Undertow (2022)
A RISING FORCE is an all-original Minnesota hard rock act which have signed a two album deal with Dark Star Records / Universal, and will re-release their first album ”Undertow” on February 18. A rare beast in the current American rock scene, A RISING FORCE take their inspiration form the classic ’80s sounds from the genre, with songs propelled by big drum & bass grooves, killer guitar riffs, double harmony guitar leads, tenor hard rock vocals (Mark Westlund voice is similar to Eric Martin) and even chants “Hey” “Hey” ”yeah”, like in good times but translated 2022.
A RISING FORCE is formed by seasoned musicians with years of experience and believe me, they sound awesome. At places they bring to mind my beloved Y&T.
Oh, and they did a really good cover of WARRANT’s classic “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”…
