Powerful
Classic Hard Rock with great melodies, served with a healthy dose of Southern
Rock, is what you hear when the songs of ROADFEVER’s second album “Wolf Pack”
are blasting out of your speakers.
The
female fronted Power Rock band from Switzerland takes you back to the sound of
the 80s and successfully manages to raise the already high quality level of
their debut “Wheels On Fire” (2009) by
presenting a record with a superb state-of-the-art sound of kick-ass Rock songs.
Formed
back in 2005 the Swiss four-piece fronted by Stevie “Manou” Pike has established its
reputation as an act with an energetic live show. Over the years ROADFEVER has been opening for bands
and sharing the same festival stages with bands such as: Blackfoot, Scorpions,
Trust, Uli Jon Roth, Pretty Maids, Rhino Bucket, Eric Singer Project, Little
Caesar and more.
David
Pariat
on guitars, Jessie Be on bass and Pascal Bavaud on drums complete the
line-up, whose vital performance and
stage presence was documented on the band’s DVD “Live in Geneva” (2010).
While
Stevie is responsible for the lyrics and vocal melodies, David Pariat, former lead guitar player
of fellow Swiss Hard Rockers Sideburn, composes and arranges the songs and takes
care of the album production, with Phil
Risch and Stephan Montinaro as
recording engineers. For the mix and mastering of
“Wolf Pack” the band could win German sound wizard Achim Köhler (Sinner, Primal Fear,
Voodoo Circle), who put the finishing touches to the songs in his Indiscreet
Audio Studio.
With
Mat Sinner (Sinner, Primal Fear,
Voodoo Circle), who sings a duet with Stevie on “Magic Sun” and Oliver Hartmann (Hartmann, Avantasia)
supporting her on the anthemic choirs of several tunes, additional assistance
for the Swiss neighbours comes from the higher ranks of the German Rock scene.
Together
with ROADFEVER’s cracking new album
“Wolf Pack”, the band’s previous CD
and DVD releases “Wheels On Fire” and “Live in Geneva” respectively, will
be available on a wider scale.
ROADFEVER
is looking forward to present their new songs together with the older favourites
in the set of their forthcoming concerts which will commence this winter and
with many more shows to follow in 2014 and beyond.
