BROTHERS IN ARMS IS SET TO RELEASE THEIR DEBUT ALBUM THROUGH DEKO ENTERTAINMENT FEATURING MEMBERS OF SAVATAGE, DIAMOND HEAD, KINGDOM COME, LAST IN LINE, FM, ANGEL, MOXY, AND MANY MORE!
Brothers In Arms is the brainchild of guitarist/composer Jack Frost (Savatage, Seven Witches, Lizzy Borden, etc...), who along with several recruited iconic rock brothers, has made it his mission to prove rock music will never die. The guys unified to take a stand against the doubters and cynics who have claimed that it's simply not possible to resurrect this celebrated music in which so many lasting and fond memories were built around. Banding together, Jack & the Brothers forged ahead with one main goal: To make quality music that would both represent and immortalize the days of the sold-out legendary rock venues, to show the world that rock is not just a thing of the past.
Their first single and video for “Last To Know” is out everywhere now and features Jack along with vocalist Andrew Freeman (Last In Line, Lynch Mob, Hurricane), drummer Karl Wilcox (Diamond Head), bassist Alex Jansen (Hardline) and keyboardist Charlie Calv (Angel).
Jack had this to say about the track,
Well, I was listening to the debut from Badlands, and realized that I just always loved Jake’s tone and feel on that album... and let’s be honest, Ray Gilllan was a god among gods. So, with that in mind, I kept hearing this riff and it took me like 3-4 days to find the balance between that classic rock sound and the feel of today. When it was done I was like, 'Man, this feels so good...' I sent the track to Karl and sure enough, he put his Bonzo feel to it and, just wow! Then Alex’s bass was added and it was so brutal that it really made it drive. Charlie’s keyboards came next and gave it a total John Lord vibe with that iconic Hammond B3 tone, & it just blew me away. Finally, the task of who can sing this and write the words and a hook was up. Andrew immediately came to my mind because I love the "Last In Line" albums. Andrew’s power and melodies are spine-tingling, to say the least. His ability to compose lyrics is amazing and his tone is so classic. The hook he wrote was killer, and it made me want to hear it over and over again. I’m just so honored that I’m a part of this monster track...
Andrew continues,
Jack and I have been threatening to work on a project together for a long time. That being said I’m very excited to be involved with the Brothers in Arms project. The songs we wrote have a lot of the elements that made me want to make music my life. Pulling from mutual influences, that I would like to hear more of in today’s rock music, we created some timeless anthems. Pure rock fury for the masses!
