Stardust \u2013 Highway To Heartbreak<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Label: Frontiers Music<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Release date: October 9th<\/sup>, 2020<\/p>\n\n\n\n Website: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/stardustaor<\/p>\n\n\n\n Melodic Rock from Hungary? May sound a little bit exotic first but STARDUST really have nailed it on \u201cHighway To Heartbreak\u201d! The heavy influences from various 80\u2019s genre bands such as DEF LEPPARD, NIGHT RANGER, PAT BENATAR, ORION THE HUNTER, BON JOVI and WINGER are obvious there all over the place \u2013 and the music sometimes comes really close! <\/p>\n\n\n\n The group consists of Adam Stewart (lead vocals),Tim Keeley (drums),\u00a0 Facey (lead guitar and vocals), Dave Legrand (keyboards) and Ben Martin (bass and vocals). MARK SPIRO and TOMMY DENANDER helped the five-piece in the song-writing department. Highlights to check out include \u201c2nd<\/sup> Hand Love\u201d, \u201cBullet To My Heart\u201d and \u201cEye To Eye\u201d. \u201cHeartbreaker\u201d, a nice cover of PAT BENATAR\u2019s \u201cHeartbreaker\u201d, rounds up the \u2018experienced\u2019 record. This might not be a common word to use in review about a debut album \u2013 it perfectly fits into the picture here though.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Over-all, \u201cHighway To Heartbreak\u201d is not a very much innovative or self-developed release but nevertheless a highly entertaining one – and this maybe even could also be seen as compliment in the year 2020. And STARDUST refreshingly do not \u2013 like so many other new groups right now \u2013 play the Scandinavian 80\u2019s influenced style but orientate more on the American Arena Rock of that era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 8,5\/10 points<\/p>\n\n\n\n Birgitt Schwanke<\/p>\n\n\n\n Track list:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Runaway
