Wild Rose – Half Past Midnight (2011)
Introducing WILD ROSE! Quite simply , this is an absolutely STUNNING debut album from this fantastic AOR band. Wild Rose encompasses everything we all love about pure AOR. Top-notch vocals , big memorable hooks , melodies galore , some of the tastiest guitar work since Tim Compton (of Mariah) and swathes of gorgeous keyboards!
Although Wild Rose is a brand new act on the scene , this album sounds like it came right out of 1986 and I believe it to be one of THE top ten AOR releases this year. Sounding like a combination of FM (indiscreet) , Strangeways , Drive She Said , Survivor , Pride of Lions and Alien. We feel this release not only solidifies Retrospect Records as a major player in the Melodic Rock industry , but more importantly it puts Wild Rose on the map as a top contender in AOR circles and we should all expect much more in the future from this class act!
