Product Description
California is sunny! Running through dust clouds with hard-driving rock and irresistible hook melodies, Night Ranger, the men who embody the essence of American hard rock, are set to release a new album, 'Don't Let Up,' with a new lineup!
Formed in 1982, Night Ranger has rocked the world for over 35 years. They have hit songs like 'Don't Tell Me You Love Me (Beyond the Flame),' 'Rock in America,' and 'Sister Christian,' achieving worldwide album sales of 17 million copies. They have performed over 3,000 live shows, thrilling fans everywhere. The battle between two guitarists with completely different personalities is innovative, elevating the level of technical guitar playing globally.
In 2016, they released the live video '35th Anniversary Live in Chicago 2016,' showcasing their timeless super performances and classic hits. Without pause, they completed a new studio album. Vocalist and bassist Jack Blades describes it as: "This is Night Ranger. It captures not only the soul of our live performances but also our essence as an 'American rock and roll band that kicks ass.'"
This 11th studio album features relentless hard-driving rock and melodies with irresistible hooks. The opening track, 'Sam How Sam Way,' is an up-tempo number with drummer Kelly Keagy warning, "Listening on your car stereo might make you step on the accelerator and get a speeding ticket!".
Songs like 'Running Out of Time,' wrapped in big beats and singable melodies, 'Say What You Want,' reminiscent of classic 'Rock in America' with an energetic intro, and 'Day and Night,' performed as a premiere during the 35th anniversary live, maintain a perfect balance of hard and pop elements. The title track 'Don't Let Up,' referencing their hometown California, is expected to be a hit single.
'We Can Work It Out,' with added acoustic elements for a pop feel, and the relaxed 'Won't Be Your Fool Again,' featuring slide guitar, embody all the reasons we love Night Ranger.
For the first time on a studio album, the guitar duo of Brad Gillis and new member Kelly Keri (who has played with Vince Neil, Ratt, Warrant, L.A. Guns, etc.) delivers a dynamic interplay of battles and harmonized leads, expanding the band's musical range.
The twin vocals of Jack Blades and Kelly Keagy, both powerful and expressive, add emotional depth to the songs. Keyboardist Eric Levy, who joined in 2011, blends seamlessly, becoming an essential part of the band.
"Five musicians living and breathing rock 'n' roll 24 hours a day" (Jack's words) — this new album, 'Don't Let Up,' sends a message from Night Ranger in 2017: "Don't fall behind."
