THE CREEK – Storm The Gate +4 [Escape Music remastered Limited Edition]

As requested, here’s “Storm The Gate” the second album from the THE CREEK, a limited digitally remastered reissue including 4 bonus tracks.
Ex Sugarcreek switched to simply THE CREEK at the mid-Eighties and musically upgraded their sound to the catchy American melodic rock sound from the second half of that decade. This second album under the new moniker was composed / recorded between 1988/1989, so you know what to expect from those years: bigger production, bombastic drums, crunchier guitars and soaring vocals / choruses.
The overall feeling into “Storm The Gate” is a commercial, accessible melodic (hard) rock…

THE CREEK – The Creek +2 [Escape Music remastered Limited Edition]

As requested, here’s the self-titled album from the THE CREEK, a limited digitally remastered reissue including 2 bonus tracks.
After their ’84 LP ‘Rock The Night Away’, Sugarcreek changed handles to THE CREEK the next year, releasing a single under the new moniker and get a record deal for a full length. Now sugar-free in their name, THE CREEK also slightly morphed their sound here for a classic, typical American 1986 melodic rock with a radio friendly approach.
You can’t go wrong with with catchy tunes like ‘Six Days To Sunday’ or ‘Love Will Stay’, and all over the CD the playing is top notch throughout with vocalist Tim Clark equally at ease on the rockers and the couple of acoustic tinged ballads…

As requested, here’s the out of print Escape Music triple Digipak of SUGARCREEK albums in remastered form including previously unreleased tracks.
Fronted by Tim Clark, Sugarcreek released their three albums between 1981 / 1984 with that wonderful Pomp AOR sound from the era plenty of melody and keyboard / synth magic, mixing American & European styles for the genre, and subsequently gained a strong cult following on both sides of the Atlantic ocean.
This is the heaven of layered vocal harmonies, swirling keyboard textures, synthesizers and of course, plenty of flashy guitar solos.
Fortune“, their first studio album from 1982 is perhaps the most lovable of all, because it finds the band developing in full the classic first half of the ’80s Pomp stylings. For many, it’s the greatest Pomp AOR album of all time…

If the band’s previous studio album is Pomp’s paradise, then “Rock The Night Away” is classic US AOR heaven. It was 1984, and ‘that sound’ is all over this fantastic recording.

Live At The Roxy‘ is the first proper recorded effort of AOR/pomp legends Sugarcreek. It goes back to 1981 and is a live album. Well, in many ways, it sounds like studio album, as many vocals parts / choruses were overdubbed, and the result is fantastic. The bonus track is fully recorded into the studio.
