In a new interview with BW&BK; scribe Carl Begai, FRAZE GANG frontman Greg Fraser (BRIGHTON ROCK) commented on hiring producer Beau Hill (RATT, WINGER) to mix the band's new album, Fraze Gang 2:

"Remember the first time you heard ‘Round And Round’, the guitars on that song?" asks Fraser. "A lot of that is Beau. You don’t have to butt heads with him because he knows what you want, and he delivers. When we first got Brighton Rock together and working with producers and engineers, we’d always be excited going in, but the recordings just didn’t have that big SCORPIONS/JUDAS PRIEST sound we wanted. The drums were dull and the guitars didn’t have that live punch, but the producer maybe didn’t see things the same way so we’d end up butting heads. Beau Hill, he’s on the same page with what artists want to hear. He knows how to get a great live sound where you can still hear everything. Nothing gets buried in the mix, and that’s not easy to do, but because Beau has been doing this for so long that when he sent us the mixes we were blown away. They were awesome."

“I remember back in the day with Brighton Rock, we’d do the demos and then go out to our car to listen to the tapes. Then we’d put Judas Priest on and go 'Aw man, it doesn’t sound as loud, it doesn’t have the same balls…' (laughs)."
