JEREMY HARRY HARRIS 'KINGS OF TIME'
(ROCK PUPPY RECORDS/AUSTRALIA IMPORT)
Perth, Australia based singer/songwriter JEREMY HARRY HARRIS used to be in STONE CIRCLE, but after that band broke up in 2014, he started working on a solo career and the result is Kings of time, which is also his first solo-CD.
14 songs and a bonus track are included and musically it is mostly reminding of the American rocksound of the late 80s/early 90s.
It is a very enjoyable journey with a lot of highlights and many fond memories of the past, but still sounding fresh and up-to-date, yet reminding me of so many of the legendary bands in this genre.
He got help on his album from Guitarist/Bassist/Keyboard player Reinier Martínez Rodríguez, Guitarist Fabian Rodríguez, Bassist Alex Jorge (Mole), Drummer Castillo Lopez Gonzalez and Keyboard player Rocio Carballoza Martinez.
Opener Breathe is a lovely classic melodic hardrocker in the style of TYKETTO, FIREHOUSE, HARDLINE, TALISMAN, HAREM SCAREM, DANGER DANGER, BRITTON... while following Sister is a bit rawer.
Kings Of Time introduce some QUEEN ish classical music influences and is basically a very strong classic rock tune with soaring guitar solo.
See you see me is a very nice early 90s semi melodic rocker in classic American style a la LILLIAN AXE, KNOW ILLUSION and NELSON. A little calmer, but in the same kinda style is Go & fly, which also has some similarities to INNUENDO and very precise guitarwork a la SLASH.
Get Back Up is a very catchy 80s influenced uptempo melodic power/pop rocker that sounds like a perfect cross between early 80s RICK SPRINGFIELD, JELLYFISH and NELSON's Life.
Sold Me Out is going for a more groovier rock sound, kinda like the early 90s EXTREME side of life, with even some POISON 4th album similarities and also KING OF THE HILL here and there.
Skeletons is a bit proggy rock orientated and reminds me of a cross between ENCHANT and KING'S X, with also some very strong TALISMAN similarities.
Break Your Heart continues the proggy and groovy approach, with still a melodic rock chorus.
Northern lights follows and has an even more melodic rock chorus, reminding me so much of classic TALISMAN.
Then we get to hear the first real pure 80s uptempo tune, namely the lovely melodic rocker When The Walls Come Down, which is close to 80s BON JOVI, DANGER DANGER's first and ICON's 3rd album.
Tomorrow Never Comes is back to the TESLA/LILLIAN AXE ish groovier melodic hard rock, while Nothing Without You is a pretty good classic uptempo melodic rocker of the FIREHOUSE school of 1990 mixed with a bit of POISON's Flesh&Blood.
Find My Way home closes the album in a more 80s uptempo AOR/Pop Rock direction, a very catchy tune a la RICK MATHEWS!
This album is filled with killer songs, features strong vocals and has in general a real authentic classic melodic rock feeling with no single dull moment, while it is quite sensational sounding!
Highly recommended to fans of bands like TALISMAN, HEAVEN'S EDGE, LILLIAN AXE, TYKETTO...
