Bio:
DAYLIGHT ROBBERY was formed by respected Birmingham rock musicians Tony Nicholl (vocals) and Mark Carleton (guitars) Murdoch (Bass)David Billingham (Keyboards) Chris Miller (Drums).With their unique style of Heavy Melodic AOR Daylight Robbery have secured themselves the crown of “The New kings of Heavy Melodic Rock”.The songs were so well recieved that their early demos were given air play on several Top rock radio stations to fantastic acclaim. The positive feedback enabled the band to secure their first support slots and again the band received terrific feedback from various rock publications including CLASSIC ROCK AOR MAGAZINE and PLANET AOR.COM.The reviews received enabled the band to secure support slots with Uriah Heep on their 2011 UK tour and with Arabia for their only midlands show for 2011. Another slot supporting a major rock act on a UK tour has already been scheduled for 2012 – all this before their debut album has even been released…
Album:
DAYLIGHT ROBBERY was formed back in the ’80s by respected Birmingham rock musicians Tony Nicholl (vocals) and Mark Carleton (guitars) and Colin Murdoch (Bass), initially with a classic Melodic Rard Rock AOR sound, sharing stages / support slots for the big ones like Def Leppard, Whitesnake, Uriah Heep, etc.Since the last decade has been heavily active regularly releasing solid albums, and when Nicholl quit a few years ago, Carleton and Colin Murdoch are sharing the lead vocals. Additionally, DAYLIGHT ROBBERY sound & style has been morphing incorporating new elements but always based in melody and Eighties feeling.Today, DAYLIGHT ROBBERY is releasing their new album ”Decree Absolute”, perhaps their most rocking effort to date. While still retaining their rich musicality, the focus for the new songs have gone back to basics in a Mr. Big / Talas kind of way!Indeed, songs like ‘Run for Your Life’, ‘Scarred’, ‘Godz’, ‘Hardtime’ are driven by rapid riffs in the style of the first Mr. Big self-titled album, the bass guitar is fat and defined as in Talas, and the overall sense of the album is full-throttle energy. And works very well for DAYLIGHT ROBBERY.Of course Carleton and Murdoch voices aren’t Eric Martin, both are rougher, however they fit the songs for the most part. The not-so melodious vocals are supplemented by the guitar work which creates fine harmonies contributing to the overall granite sound of the band on this new album.Don’t get us wrong, ”Decree Absolute” isn’t heavy, just much more ‘rocking’ than previous DAYLIGHT ROBBERY works. There’s still midtempo songs with atmospheres, occasional AOR touches, and a semi-ballad.Special mention goes for closing track ‘Fallen Star’, a really well elaborated classic hard rock mid-paced track with fine arrangements and stupendous guitar work.”Decree Absolute” explores a ‘new side’ from DAYLIGHT ROBBERY, more visceral and rocking, which in fact it’s the ADN of these guys, they grew up and formed as musicians in the classic era of British rock.
