As I progress in therapy, the pain from my past has become a source of joy, pushing me forward even during the darkest moments when I feel like I’m falling…that is at the heart of ‘Tripping.'” With a sound that fits well within the realm of Switchfoot, The Fray, and Goo Goo Dolls, The American Hotel System may just be the next great rock band to take the music scene by storm. Lead singer Jacob Betts shared, “I believe we all experience pushes and pulls in life-events from our past that propel us forward and aspirations for the future that draw us toward tomorrow. Right off the coattails of a success single, called “Seattle,” the rock band known as The American Hotel System have returned with a more vulnerable side of themselves on “Tripping.” The Grand Rapids, Michigan band has opened for marquee acts like Bon Jovi, earned the Grand Champions of Music Prize in 2022, and it’s easy to see why they’re making such a big name for themselves early on in their career. FORAGER – “Hello To The Kiddies” (Song Premiere) The Star Fleet Sessions is getting another worthy moment in the sun, and I think we’re all better off because of this.
Even without any vocals on the instrumental closing song, it remains a captivating listening experience that was meant to be played on a turntable in all its glory. Not to be outdone by their early work, the back half features a gargantuan, 13-minute blues rock song on the aptly titled “Blues Breaker,” that further highlights the impressive back and forth wailing between Van Halen and May. The other song on the A-side, called “Let Me Out,” is a bluesy rock song that is sure to make even the most skeptical music fan a believer in the chemistry May had with these legendary musicians. Brian May’s vocals sound as brilliant as they’ve ever been on this remastered mix and it really makes the music shine out of the gate. The record launches off with “Star Fleet,” that has a sound somewhere between the classic rock sheen of Boston, paired with the memorable guitar riffing from May. I will take you behind the scenes into that studio with us for two unforgettably exhilarating days.” This dedication to the project that took place on April 21-22, 1983 is remastered in pain-staking detail and care, and pulls back the curtain on one of the most beloved classic rock recordings of all time. Every note we played on those two days is right here, on show for the first time.
In addition to the vinyl single, the box set includes a thrilling 23-track CD filled with previously unreleased material. This mini-album features Edward Van Halen (guitar), Alan Gratzer (drums), Phil Chen (bass) and Fred Mandel (keyboards), with May taking the reins of lead vocals and guitar for a crowd-pleasing set of three songs that have been reissued on a remastered vinyl collection released today. Awaken I Am is currently in the studio working on their 3rd album.When Queen first took a break in the early part of 1983, Brian May decided to use this extra time in his hands to get some of his closest rock band friends for what would become the Star Fleet Project. When the band first took off, they had drawn inspiration from the niche progressive post-hardcore genre and respectively released their debut album 'Shields & Crowns'īut in late 2017, they reinvented themselves into a more contemporary pop post-hardcore band as they joined the lineup on SGB Records to compliment the successful band "Slaves"sharing similar influences. Awaken I Am is a small band from Brisbane, Australia.
