Bio:
Hush are Norwegian and their debut, album released only in Japan though it is now available throughout Europe. The name also has to be confusing in the context of Robert Berry’s old band.They sound extremely like the better side of their Norwegian compatriots the Stage Dolls (around the “Commandos” album) and have some hints of TNT and DaVinci too. Very much a guitar-drive power AOR sound, with the production reasonable and big hooks.HUSH made a stir within the melodic rock community with the release of the debut "If You Smile" back in 1998. The album sold well in Europe (AOR Heaven) and Japan (JVC/Victor) and was filled with catchy arena rock anthems. The sophomore cd, simply entitled "II", emerged in 2001 on Now & Then (UK) and the Italian label Frontiers Records. It was a natural step further for Hush, yet without moving away from the style from the debut.Both records were very well received all over the world. The third release, 'Mirage' (2006) (Raido Music) won over new fans with a different and more modern approach.Hush is currently putting the final touch to their brand new studio album entitled, Department Of Faith, which have already spin of 2 singles so far, Black Ice, & Hold On.The band is also planning to hit the road for touring in support of the new album and once again reconnect with their fans worldwide. The Hush band members now includes founding members Kenneth Kristiansen (guitars/keyboards), Patrick Simonsen (vocals/guitars), Knut Dalbakk (bass), Thorleif Ostmoe (keyboards/vocals) and Antonio Torner (drums/vocals).
Album:
HUSH was formed in 1998 in Norway, and as of today, deliver some fine melodic hard rocking sounds to the world. More specifically, Hush, as of end of November 2018, have prepared a “recycled” version of their debut album “If You Smile”, initially released in 1998."If You Smile (Recycled)" features a couple of new tracks, but essentially the great news is that this great album is available again after many years deleted.Mixing classic rocking riffs from the same school as Whitesnake or Foreigner plus the melodies of Tyketto, "If You Smile" is one of the best melodic hard rock albums coming out from Scandinavia during the second half of the Nineties.Musically, these songs pack as well a healthy dose of classic AOR from the '80s, of the 'edgy kind'.With its pumping bass lines, catchy melodic line and smooth vocals, opener 'Talk to Me' is a classic melodic rock tune in my book. Then follower 'Babe' is one of these lovely AOR songs you love at first listen, mixing 1987 Whitesnake with 1986 Journey.This double opening songs worth the album alone.But quality continues with the bouncy 'Believe', the bluesy 'Piece of the Action', and the superb piano ballad 'Let It Rain' showcasing Patrick Simonsen's great tenor pipes.'Heaven Ain't...' is a pretty 'Americanized' melodic rocker with some Tyketto on it - in fact, many of the songs bring to mind Tyketto first album - while 'Big Time' rocks indeed, big time.The new stuff in this reissue are the acoustically delivered songs 'She Will Be the One (Acoustic)' and 'Hold On (Acoustic)', nice melodious stuff with cool atmosphere.HUSH's "If You Smile" is a cult classic, achieving a 'cult status' for being hard to find even when originally released, a quite difficult era for this musical genre.So kudos to Lions Pride Music to make it available again, right in time for the album's 20th anniversary.
