Born Innocent by Alcatrazz (Silver Lining Music)

Born Innocent by Alcatrazz (Silver Lining Music)

Determined not to recreate the past, this neo -classical hard rock / metal band has put out their first new studio release in over thirty years! Featuring founding member vocalist / frontman GRAHAM BONNET (RAINBOW, MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP) who reunites with other founding members, keyboardist JIMMY WALDO and bassist GARY SHEA. Adding to the mix is Berklee graduate, virtuoso guitarist JOE STUMP and veteran awesome drummer, MARK BENQUECHEA.

Bolting out of the starting gate fierce and furious, is the first of thirteen tracks, BORN INNOCENT. This album is clearly made for the 21st century with fresh and invigorating riffs and sounds that has something for everyone . Track seven, I AM THE KING written and performed on guitar by BOB KULICK is a real showstopper. I found myself anxiously anticipating for each tune to start.

The whole record moves so fluidly, just loved it! I believe ALCATRAZZ has set a very high benchmark for other bands to compete with . Well worth the wait.
