Great King Rat
"Out Of The Can"
Re-release of 2nd album out now!
”Great King
Rat was one of Sweden's best kept secrets, even after the self-entitled debut
album was released in 1992. It was actually not until after the group had
disbanded they received more appropriate
recognition.”
- (Janne Stark -
Author of "The Encyclopedia Of Swedish Hard Rock And Heavy
Metal”)
To the music business and hard rock fans who at the time
came across the band it was a ”no brainer”.
Even big rock celebrities such as Jimmy Page and John
Bon Jovi praised their talent. This was a young promising band with albums
jam-packed with great music that still sounds as classy as it did 25 years ago.
With top reviews in numerous leading rock mags such as
british KERRANG (KKKK) ”There’s definitely something special here worth
discovering” (Dave Reynolds) - it didn’t take
long before managers and representatives from various major recordables from all
over the world came flying tin o Stockholm, Sweden to see what the fuzz was all
about.
But all fairy tales don’t have happy
endings…
After that GKR disbanded in 1993 the members continued
keep busy with bands / artists such as;
Thunder, Glen Hughes, Joe Lynn Turner, Michael Schenker,
John Norum, Electric Boys, Conny Bloom, Hammerfall, The
Poodles…
Fast forward - Due to their cult status and popular
demand GKR were asked to do an exclusive show at Sweden Rock Festival
2017 celebrating the 25th anniversary of their classic debut
album.
Second album "Out Of The Can" was
physically released back in 1998 and are now back but now on all digital
plattforms!
