Frontiers Records is particularly pleased to announce the come back release from Street Legal "Bite The Bullet" due for release in Europe on March 13.
Soundwise, these Norwegian rockers have been often compared to Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake and Blue Murder. Classic rock with a strong blues foundation, still very harmony driven, comments bass player and singer Bjorn Boge, when asked to describe the sound of the band to the uninitiated. A lot of influences from the past: Westcoast Music, Metal, Hard Rock from the late 70´s. Always with focus on the song. Lyrics are also important. Chuck Frazier, my buddy in the lyric department is the major force behind this.
After a long hiatus and some line-up changes, Street Legal are now back to Rock with a superb new album that takes from where the previous has left. Bjorn explains: This record marks the introduction of my brother Oystein as the drummer in the band and also brings a more straightforward rock'n roll approach than Thunderdome. For the time being we decided to stick with just the two of us. We know a lot of great guitar players, so the live lineup will be as strong as ever. With Bjorn and his brother Oysten on drums, featured on the album there are Tore Ostby (ex Ark, Conception) and Rolf Bjorseth playing guitars.
