Category: THE PETAL FALLS

UK’s, Kent band THE PETAL FALLS have an interesting backstory. Originally they were a five piece band that began in the mid 90s, fronted by songwriter Keith Leahy. Early on they signed a deal with an intermediate record label – The Petal Falls seemed destined for success. But that signing ultimately led to their undoing. After years of unfulfilled promises and tons of frustration, the band dissolved without the opportunity to release a single track.
Surprisingly, now The Petal Falls‘ entire catalogue will be available for release. Working with friend and producer, John King, Leahy was able to re-master the original recordings with additional instrumentation into four albums. The first one was released in 2020, the second 2021.
Now it’s time for the third: “Everything About You“, and let me tell you, this is one of the best previously unreleased album you’ll hear this year: powerful Lite AOR / rock&pop with tons of class, like mix of 2AM, Cutting Crew, Mr. Mister, John Waite, even some Giant and Michael Bolton circa 1986 into one terrific package….

The album is brilliant. The songs are vibrant and full of catchy hooks. The vocals are dynamic throughout and the musicianship is outstanding; powerful Lite AOR / rock&pop with tons of class, like mix of John Waite, 2AM, Cutting Crew, Mr. Mister, Boulevard, etc…

Three were already released, and it’s really necessary to recap on this, the first released in 2020, titled “Workin’ All Night Workin’ All Day“. Despite being composed and mostly recorded in the second half of the Nineties, this is pure ’80s inspired stuff, elegant AOR with a rocking edge as well.
This is a delicious cocktail of Eighties sounds filled with wonderful melodies akin Mr. Mister, Boulevard, Peter Beckett, 2AM, Glass Tiger, Cutting Crew, even some Giant…
