2022 is a busy year for rejuvenated Canadian melodic rocker ALDO NOVA; after an almost fifteen-year hiatus Nova is back with an incredibly prolific output of material. He already released ‘The Life and Times of Eddie Gage’, a rock opera that tells the story of a prodigious ingénue who breaks into the music industry. He began building it in 2008. Then past month ‘Aldo Nova 2.0 Reloaded’, featuring versions of nine classic Aldo Nova songs.
Now we have “Short Stories“, according to Nova, featuring some of the best songs he has ever written, each depicted in song form of a part of his life during the 33-year self-imposed exile from music business.

Canadian singer, songwriter, producer, guitarist, and multi-instrumentalist ALDO NOVA is really busy this year. Few weeks ago Nova put out the first chapter of his larger-than-life rock opera, a 10-song EP titled “The Life and Times of Eddie Gage”.
Now Nova is ready to release next Friday “2.0 Reloaded” including turbocharged versions of some of his biggest songs which include ‘Blood On The Bricks’, ‘Monkey On Your Back’, ‘Under the Gun’, ‘Foolin’ Yourself’, ‘Ball and Chain’, ‘Paradise’, ‘Fantasy’ – and a new song called ‘I’m A Survivor’.
We really like these new, updated versions. All are more rocking, punchier that the originals, updated to modern times. The originals still are the best, of course, however it’s cool to hear these ’80s penned songs with 2022 Nova’s vision & production…

Multi-platinum Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, producer, guitarist, multi-instrumentalist and ’80s AOR hero ALDO NOVA has set April 1 as the release date for the first chapter of his larger-than-life rock opera, a 10-song first album titled “The Life And Times Of Eddie Gage“.
The iconic Montreal maverick — who has spent more than four decades in music with dozens of classic songs and hundreds of shows — is proud to present the first part of “The Life And Times Of Eddie Gage”, perhaps his more complex piece of work to date.
It tells the story of Eddie Gage, a prodigious ingénue who breaks into the music industry only to be preyed upon by a nefarious suit Andy Christos, manipulated by a corporate overlord M.F. Stophalis, and tempted by a succubus Rati Ayida. Drugs, alcohol, and excess plunge him into despair until he realizes redemption on his own terms.
Musically the album is a mix of high-energy rockers packed with Aldo’s passionate vocals and thunderous guitar work with melodic atmospheric slow numbers. The album is a showcase as well to appreciate how good rock guitar player Nova is…

“2.0” is last album from influential Canadian guitarist, vocalist, keyboardist, songwriter and producer ALDO NOVA, his first album release in over three decades. The CD is a collection of super-charged reinventions of six classic songs off his self-titled smash debut, plus one new original, ‘I’m A Survivor’, initially written for Foreigner singer Lou Gramm. This is the slipcase CD version...

Under their ‘Classic Albums Available Again on CD’ series, specialized Dutch label Music On CD has just reissued ALDO NOVA‘s third platter “Twitch“, long time out of print. Hit composer for others, Nova also had his chance as solo artist, and “Twitch”, originally released in 1985, is one of the greatest ’80s AOR albums of all time. Many people may...
