GOODBYE THRILL – Longplay [Kivel Records] (2026) *HQ*
It’s hard to believe, but it’s been almost 20 years since melodic rockers GOODBYE THRILL released their debut album. What began as a side project for vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter Marc Ferreira quickly grew into one of his favorite bands. Now they’re back with their fourth album, ”Longplay”, available exclusively on physical CD through Kivel Records.
This time, the lineup is strengthened by the addition of the talented Gus Monsanto, who not only plays bass but also delivers lead vocals on a couple of tracks. The result is a sound that’s more powerful and versatile than ever.
Marc’s stunning voice—often reminiscent of C.J. Snare from Firehouse—adds that extra spark to the songs, making them truly shine. ”Longplay” features eleven tracks, most of them high-quality melodic rock numbers in the classic style of the genre, yet produced with a fresh, urgent modern edge. The variety keeps things engaging, while the polished production ensures every song hits hard.
If you’re a fan of that classy hard, melodic rock, this album will be a welcome addition to your collection. Great stuff!
