The Godfather of Swedish Glam and Sleaze Chris Laney's band Laney's Legion has released their self-titled full-length CD worldwide on Perris Records. They have also released their first video for the song “Poptastic”.
Laney's Legion features Chris Laney (Zan Clan, Randy Piper's Animal), Rob Marcello (Danger Danger), Mats Vassfjord (Grand Design, Impera) and Patrik Jansson (Helsingland Underground).
Chris Laney has made a name for himself in the hard rock world writing, producing, mixing and winning Grammy awards with bands like Candlemass, Dynazty, Europe and H.E.A.T. After two successful solo albums Pure (2009) and Only Come Out At Night (2010) he's now back with a new album. But instead of returning with a third solo album, the forthcoming full-length feature will be the debut album for his new band: Laney'sLegion. "I really missed the feeling of having a real band. I wanted to go back to the basics", says Chris. Laney is of course still handling lead vocals and rhythm guitars.
This time, it's all about the music: "My solo albums were pretty much recorded and written in a rush. This time I didn't want to stress anything. This time I only wanted the best songs possible". In order to achieve this, he brought in longtime partner Anders Ringman to help out with writing and producing. The multi-platinum songwriting duo, aka Platform, has a 15-year collaboration history featuring work with Crashdïet, Crucified Barbara, Steevi Jaimz and others. "It was the natural choice. We work so well together", Chris says. And with contributions from everybody in the band, Laney's Legion has produced an album containing nothing but solid, melodic sing-along tunes. "We're not trying to reinvent the wheel here. What it all comes down to is the music. And there are surprises. We're not just doing the normal hard glam rock our fans might expect, we rock, we pop and no one can stop us now!"
