Bio:
Based in West Fife and started in the early 80's Garrison went on to be one of the best rock bands to come out of Central Scotland and toured extensively with the likes of Dare, Thunder, and Ian Gillan.GARRISON was one of the most promising AORish Melodic Rock bands to come out of Scotland at the end of the '80s, touring UK extensively with the likes of Thunder, Dare and Ian Gillan. Between 1988 and 1991 Garrison recorded a bunch of great demos which attracted Atlantic Records to offer them a deal, but the upcoming Grunge wave put everything to rest.
Album:
Formed by Tony Mitchell (vocals) and Kevin Wilson (guitar & vocals) during the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal in the mid 80's, their first demo earned the band a session on the BBC's highly acclaimed "Friday Rock Show", hosted by Tommy Vance. Some line up changes led to recruiting Michael Bruce (guitar, keyboards and vocals), Alex Burrell (bass and vocals) and Derek Lindsay (drums and vocals) to take the band to the next level by delivering the trademark Garrison-sound: tight harmonies over killer guitar riffs!Touring UK with bands like Ian Gillan, Dare and Thunder, and compared to the sound of great acts like Def Leppard, Glasgow, Tobruk and Heavy Pettin, GARRISON wrote - thru the years - a bunch of amazing & catchy Hard-Rock songs that unfortunately never had the chance to be properly released.- With renewed interest over thirty years later, the band decided to fire up the amps one final time to re-record six of their best songs, with the addition of one new track, plus three live tracks and two carefully remastered old demos (incl. their first 7"). This is the album that never was, the final chapter in a career that has been littered with fabulous opportunities and incredible music! - The CD features the usual de-luxe 16 pages booklet, with the full lyrics plus the whole story of the band told by UK Rock-journalist Rob Evans.If you like bands like Def Leppard, Heavy Pettin, Glasgow and Tobruk, this is the release for you!
