NICK MANTOAN – Raw (2021)
NICK MANTOAN is a young, skilled Italian guitarist who has been involved jazz/fusion projects composing & recording several albums. But the rock ’n’ roll is in his blood… In 2014 started his frontman career as rock vocalist and guitarist, and forming the band Nick’s Airlines, releasing two albums and boasting many shows in Europe.
In 2019 Nick decided to pursue a solo career, releasing by himself his solo debut CD and touring all central Europe until Sliptrick Records signed him and the result is “Raw“, his new solo album to be internationally distributed.
Despite its title, “Raw” is a polished rock n’ roll record driven by 80s-inspired big riffs and Nick’s clean bluesy vocals.
“Raw because everybody can understand that, Raw because it is straight to the point, Raw because it is Rock ‘N’ Roll.” That’s what Nick Mantoan said about his new album. A very well done rocking collection of songs in the style of ’80s artists like Bryan Adams, updated in terms of sound production…
