Road To Eden

Product Information

But the most striking and impressive thing -at least, to me personally- is the fact that Dare has managed to retain a high level from a compositional and performing standpoint while at the same time never failing to leave their unique stamp on the musical map. Pocket Melodies takes you on a journey of glorious melodies leading you through love, romance, nostalgia, regret and unity. The lineup consisted of Darren Wharton (vocals/keyboards), Vinny Burns (guitars), Martin "Shelley" Shelton (bass), James Ross (drums), and Brian Cox ( keyboards).

The admiration Darren had and has for the legendary singer/bass player is once again displayed in the great rocking track ,,Only The Good Die Young’’. Grace’ is another mid tempo one with bagpipes adding to the celtic feel and ‘I Always Will’ could have sat comfortably on ‘Out Of The Silence’. From the start, there’s the feeling these songs were written during the covid lockdown, a time of solitude and too much time to think, but coming out of it having deliberated on the things that matter: friends, relatives and those who’ve influenced you, some of who may not be with you now but still have a hold on the things that make you who and what you are; hopefully for the better. Other confirmed dates for 2020 were at the Cascais Rock Fest on 25 Jan (with Cutting Crew and The Stranglers), and at the Rock of Ages Festival, Germany 31 July – 2 August. The new album has a harder rock edge than previous albums, while still retaining the atmospheric sound, and anthemic melodies that has become the band’s signature trademark.I met Darren a few years ago and of course by then I’d righted that wrong but I still feel like I missed out. have (throughout the years) developed a certain style sounding more and more smooth and more and more direction AOR with some Celtic influences. It’s a lively rock ballad, with melding riffs and a vibe that whisks you away to days of summer-time. They may be mellow listening, but there is something warm and comforting about Darren’s whispered tones, which have not changed a jot throughout his career, and are quite like nothing else in the melodic rock world.

My best strength is writing melodic pop songs so I just let it all flow as I wanted this album to be soaked in colour and completely natural. Tonight, Finn McAuley is his wingman on drums and the two-piece delivers a rip-roaring six-song set.Previously he has said of Hawaii, “It is dedicated to everyone going through tough times on the journey of life, with the person they care for the most.
