Former TRIUMPH Singer/Guitarist's AIRTIME Project Signs With Escape Music
September 24, 2007, 17 years ago
Escape Music Ltd. has announced the signing of the new rock band AIRTIME, featuring the legendary multi-talented musicians RIK EMMETT (ex-TRIUMPH) on lead vocals and all guitars and basses; and Michael Shotton (VON GROOVE) on drums, percussion, noises, keyboards and background vocals.
The title of the album is Liberty Manifesto and is scheduled for release in the week of November 19th. As you would expect from two such highly respected musicians, their music is vibrant and exciting Classic Rock in the same style of LED ZEPPELIN, RUSH and of course some elements of Triumph and Von Groove... with vocal melodies and harmonies that are sometimes reminiscent of JOURNEY or QUEEN - but Airtime definitely has its own original and unique character, with fantastic hook lines.
The album is produced by Rik Emmett and Michael Shotton, engineered by Michael Shotton, mastered by Nick Blagona (DEEP PURPLE, TEA PARTY, APRIL WINE, and engineered for THE POLICE, RUSH, DAVID BOWIE).
Tracklist: 'Edge Of Your Mind', 'Midnight Black & Blue', 'Liberty', 'Headstream', 'River Runs Deep', 'Find Your Way', 'Addicted', 'Code 9', 'Rise', 'Moving Day', 'Transmutation'... with an exclusive bonus track for Europe only - 'Cryin' Shame'.
All songs written by Rik Emmett and Mike Shotton except for 'Rise' - written by Rik and Mike and Jim Peterik.
