Bio:
Night Ranger is an American rock band from San Francisco that gained popularity during the 1980s with a series of albums and singles.The band's first five albums sold more than 10 million copies worldwide.The quintet is perhaps best known for the power ballad "Sister Christian", which peaked at No. 5 in June 1984.After their success waned in the late 1980s, the band split up in 1989 and its members pursued other musical endeavours including group and solo efforts.Brad Gillis and Kelly Keagy teamed up with bassist Gary Moon and released an album without the other original band members in 1995, but the band soon re-united to release two new albums in the latter half of the decade. Despite the departure of original keyboardist Alan Fitzgerald and guitarist Jeff Watson, the band has continued to tour and remains very popular in Asian countries, especially Japan.WITH OVER 30 YEARS IN THE BUSINESS, AND MORE THAN 17 MILLION ALBUMS SOLD WORLDWIDE, NIGHT RANGER HAS PROVEN THEY CAN STILL “ROCK IN AMERICA”!It all started when five hard-rockin’ kids from the San Francisco Bay Area joined forces in the early 80’s to form Night Ranger. Like no other rock band, Night Ranger both epitomized and transcended the sound and style of that decade.In 1983, Night Ranger earned widespread acclaim with their multi-platinum album Midnight Madness, which included their smash hits "Sister Christian," "When You Close Your Eyes" and the anthemic "(You Can Still) Rock In America.”Over the years, the band’s music has made notable contributions to and been featured in many different areas of media and popular culture. Night Ranger’s songs can be heard in the Rock Band and Guitar Hero video games; Rock of Ages hit Broadway musical and film; the Oscar-nominated film Boogie Nights; FOX’s hit TV Shows American Dad, and Glee; JBL’s “Hear The Truth” campaign; and many more! The band also made a special guest appearance on ABC’s hit reality TV show, Bachelor Pad!Night Ranger, in celebration of their 30th Anniversary, continues their non-stop touring, playing to sold-out crowds around the world, including stops in Europe, Mexico, Canada, Japan and the United States.On October 22nd Night Ranger released a very special CD/DVD package which was recorded live in an intimate acoustic setting, with a select number of fans, at TRI Studios in San Rafael, CA. The result is compelling and exciting live renditions of the band’s classic hits with new, refreshing arrangements; tracks include “(You Can Still) Rock In America”, “Sister Christian”, “Don’t Tell Me You Love Me” and a timeless cover of Don Henley’s “Boys of Summer.” Available in a CD/DVD package, 24 Strings & a Drummer is available now.Night Ranger is proof that powerful songs plus accomplished musicians is the perfect formula for continued success.
Album:
Frontiers Music Srl will release "Don't Let Up", the new studio album from NIGHT RANGER, on March 24. In Japan, the disc appeared just few days ago, featuring a bonus track.The disc will be available in both a standard and a deluxe edition including a bonus DVD.Age is just a number they say. You're never too old to rock 'n roll if you 'have it' in the blood. You can't teach an old dog new tricks. Let's just skip that one. Night Ranger, the music video kings of the early Eighties and one of the defining melodic hard rock bands in the genre's history, have been recording and performing for 35 years. Wow. That's historic, considering the half life an average band. For this anniversary Night Ranger drops their twelfth album, "Don't Let Up". Something of a message in that title? I think so.This new Night Ranger album works from the usual musical elements: tight and catchy melodies, twin guitar harmony with ripping leads, hooks in refrains and riffage, some sweet vocal harmony, and smart rock groove from the rhythm section. Then they drop all these things in AOR arena-ready package they're famous for.Heavy, often swift, rockers come with 'Say What You Want', 'Day And Night', and 'Running 'Out Of Time', by example. Starting with an acoustic guitar line, 'Truth' rocks but with a more mid-tempo movement and offers some signature Night Ranger vocal harmonies. Alternatively, some latent blues groove informs the guitar lines of '(Won't Be Your) Fool Again'.Returning to the acoustic side, there's a glorious melody in 'We Can Work It Out', and 'Nothing Left Of Yesterday' is simply delicious Night Ranger. The former turns largely on the acoustic guitar and vocal harmony arrangements, and will hook you with the pleasing chorus. Similar, the latter song juxtaposes calmer acoustic moments with larger and deeper riffs and groove, and the vocal arrangement is bolder.The Japanese bonus is an acoustic version of 'We Can Work It Out', this time fully acoustic and with a true American classic rock feel all over it.Again, almost by textbook definition, Night Ranger is a classic, feel-good melodic hard rock band with an AOR heart, and with "Don't Let Up" they deliver the consistent rock and roll magic they've been doing for 35 years.Night Ranger 2017 is still rocking America, the World, and beyond... Don't let up, fellas.
