We presented last year on the website in exclusive the fist single of BRYAN COLE, now released by MelodicRock Records arrives his awesome full-length debut titled “Sands Of Time“.
Hailing from Pittsburg, Cole is an experienced musician having shared stages with Ted Nugent, Quiet Riot, Eddie Money, etc, but he is also a seasoned record producer and mixing engineer helping both aspiring and established artists achieve their fullest potential.
Bryan Cole’s sensational “Sands Of Time” has the classic sound of bands like Giant, Survivor and both Pride Of Lions and Brett Walker – the latter two artists both included in the material that comprises the album. Jim Peterik contributed assistance and four amazing songs to the project.
BRYAN COLE is a name we will hear soon when Frontiers Music release his debut solo album in the making, with songwriting collaborations from the likes of Jim Peterik.
As advance, we can hear two songs Cole has put on iTunes, “More Than A Memory” and “Last First Kiss“, both pure Melodic Rock / AOR tunes that leave you wanting for more.
Bryan Cole hails from Pittsburgh, PA, and has been singing, playing guitar and performing since the age of five.
Bryan cut his teeth in many local bands before joining the Reb Beach Project, fronted by Winger, Whitesnake, Dokken and Alice Cooper guitarist Reb Beach. He spent several years singing for the RBP, before venturing out for a solo career.
Bryan’s influences of Journey, Giant, Foreigner and Survivor are easily heard in this feel-good single: “More Than a Memory” was written by the late Brett Walker & Carl Dixon (April Wine / Coney Hatch guitarist), and previously recorded by both on their respective solo albums.
Bryan Cole’s version is rocking and melodious, featuring soaring vocal melodies and sharp guitar riffs in the best late ’80s tradition / production.
