Veteran Swiss Melodic hard rock band BM-SMITH are releasing their new album “Turn Me On“, which in fact is their first full length. This band was founded in 1972 (!), by the brothers Bachmann (BM) and Martin Schmid (Smith), and while today there is no original member, since the 80’s singer and guitarist Mark Portmann and keyboarder J.J. Andersen have been holding the flag up and rocking the clubs of central Europe.
BM-SMITH released several singles all over the ’80s / 90s, and now all these have been freshly recorded with a crisp modern production. In the first half of the Eighties future GOTTHARD guitarist Mandy Meyer was part of BM-SMITH, and as homage the band has recorded here as well his penned song “Looking At You”, the classic tune first recorded by Jimi Jamison’S COBRA and later by GOTTHARD as well for their album ‘One Life One Soul’.
BM-SMITH’s sound & style brings to mind the likes of ZENO, WHITESNAKE, FAIR WARNING and of course GOTTHARD, and not only we find very good ’80-90s written songs on “Turn Me On”, but also a polished bright production…
