Bio:
Small parts of the 80th century band called Avenue reunited because it is a blast in making Music.Three of the five members of the 80's group Avenue which reunited for the fun of playing music together.This new classic AOR / Melodic Rock trio is formed by singer Johnny Englund, keyboardist Jens Rüttgerott and guitar player Stefan Cajander which were part of a late '80s band called Avenue when they were really young.Since then, in one way or another, the three guys have been involved with something related to music, but it was around five years ago when they decided to reunite for the fun of playing music together, and Positive Touch born.The three have been musically influenced by Toto and Journey, and you can tell that listening their music and the band's name; Positive Touch is the title of one of the best tracks from 1986's Journey Raised On Radio album. But, according to Rüttgerott, the main reason that moved them to form Positive Touch was the resurgence in Sweden of the AOR / Melodic Rock genre in the hands of Work Of Art, W.E.T. and alikes. And you know what? You can tell that too between these wonderful 11 tracks.This is pure '80s AOR / MR with terrific catchy choruses, tons of keyboards, multi-part harmonies and a slick guitar work by Stefan Cajander, clearly influenced by Steve Lukather's more rocking side. All tracks are superb in the best tradition of the genre, I can't find a weak number here.Just to mention some jewels, there's extremely melodic uptempo rockers on "Do You Believe", the killer "Hope" or the soaring "I Believe".You want classy AOR? Check "Too Far From Together", with a FM / Steve Overland feel all over it.Positive Touch have recorded all this material at Jens Rüttgerott's home studio, just for the fun of it. They aren't looking for a record contract, although some of the songs have been put on sale at iTunes by themselves.But don't worry, the musicianship, the arrangements and the sound here has been carefully hand-crafted and polished to the extreme by these talented musicians resulting in a top notch production for an indie. Believe me, this stuff sounds like an official record. Some label / management need to approach these guys pronto!Super for Classic AOR / Melodic Rock fans.
