\nReunited American metal act KEEL \u2013 the band that gave you \u201cThe Right To Rock\u201d \u2013 will unleash their brand new album \u201cStreets Of Rock & Roll\u201d \u201d on January 29th 2010 in Europe and February 9th in the USA on Frontiers Records.

\n
\nThe new recording contains twelve new rock anthems in the tradition of KEEL\u2019s classic \u201cThe Final Frontier,\u201d \u201cKEEL,\u201d and \u201cLay Down The Law\u201d albums: commercial Hard Rock featuring the twin-guitar attack of Marc Ferrari and Bryan Jay, drummer Dwain Miller and bassist Geno Arce\u2019s rock solid groove, Ron Keel\u2019s powerful vocals, and a collection of songs which the band feels is their best ever.
\n
\n\u201cWe are not re-inventing our style \u2013 \u201cStreets Of Rock & Roll\u201d is a perfect follow-up to our previous albums,\u201d says Ron Keel presenting the new album. \u201cThe only real evolution is in the quality of the songwriting, musicianship, and production; the excitement and energy of the reunion really ignited our creativity and Marc, Bryan, and I were able to collaborate as a songwriting team like we\u2019ve never done before. One characteristic this album shares with our classic releases is diversity \u2013 there are power anthems, relentless metal, and commercial hard rock. Some of the songs are designed to make you pump your fist and stomp your feet, some have lyrical content that is a little deeper and aims for the heart. There is a power ballad, \u201cDoes Anybody Believe\u201d which I think is an instant classic and will be a very important song for us, one of those rare compositions that capture magic and translates it into words and music.\u201d
\n
\nKEEL first exploded onto the scene when \u201cThe Right To Rock,\u201d their major label debut produced by Gene Simmons of KISS, became the fastest-selling debut album in A&M Records\u2019 history. Frontiers Records will commemorate the 25th anniversary of this historic release with \u201cThe Right To Rock: 25th Anniversary Edition\u201d simultaneously with \u201cStreets Of Rock & Roll\u201d. This newly remastered edition adds two bonus tracks: \u201cEasier Said than Done (Remix)\u201d and a newly recorded version of the immortal Metal anthem \u201cThe Right to Rock\u201d (click on the title to hear a sample). For this recording, KEEL invited their fans to participate via the internet \u2013 KEELaholics could download a guide track, sing along with the chorus, and send in an MP3 to be blended with the all-star chorus of the song which also features Paul Shortino (Rough Cutt, Quiet Riot), Lez Warner (The Cult), Ron Mancuso (Beggars & Thieves) and other members of the Las Vegas rock scene (even Graham Russell from Air Supply joined in)!
\n
\nKEEL has sold over 2 million albums, garnering a reputation as one of the genre\u2019s most entertaining live acts by touring with\/opening for Bon Jovi, Van Halen, Aerosmith, Motley Crue, and many more. They were unanimously hailed as 1985\u2019s \u201cBest New Band\u201d in publications such as Circus, Metal Edge, and Hit Parader, and released three charting albums which spawned radio & MTV hits such as \u201cBecause The Night,\u201d \u201cTears Of Fire,\u201d \u201cSomebody\u2019s Waiting\u201d and of course \u201cThe Right To Rock.\u201d
\n
\nIn 2009 KEEL returned stronger than ever with festival appearances across the U.S. at Rocklahoma, the M3 Festival, the South Texas Rock Festival, and the MidWest RockFest in addition to sold-out headline shows in Hollywood and Phoenix. The excitement and energy of these shows and the fans\u2019 response fuelled the creative fires that spawned \u201cStreets Of Rock & Roll\u201d and led to the band\u2019s union with Frontiers Records. \u201cWe\u2019re working on festival dates in the U.S. and Europe for 2010 and we\u2019re ready to rock when opportunity knocks\u201d explains Ron, adding \u201cI can\u2019t emphasize enough how much depends on sales \u2013 the more copies of \u201cStreets Of Rock & Roll\u201d and \u201cThe Right To Rock: 25th Anniversary Edition\u201d we sell, the more attractive we are to concert promoters and venues who can help us get back on stage where we belong \u2013 so we\u2019re hoping that fans of commercial hard rock will embrace these albums and add them to their collection.\u201d

\nThe new album was produced by Pat Regan (KISS, Deep Purple, Warrant, and many others) and features guest background vocals by Jaime St. James (Black N Blue, Warrant) and Paul Shortino, who produced and recorded Ron\u2019s lead vocal tracks. \u201cThe feeling in the band is triumphant,\u201d concludes Ron Keel. \u201dWe\u2019ve been back together for over a year now, we\u2019ve got some great shows under our belt, and the new album is finished and ready for release. We are thankful to all the fans for the incredible response to the reunion, and we\u2019re very proud of our new music. We can move forward with the confidence that we\u2019ve accomplished a lot of our goals and done it on our own terms.\u201d KEEL is confident that Hard Rock fans everywhere are going to feel right at home on the \u201cStreets Of Rock & Roll\u201d, and plans are underway to promote this new release with shows around the world in the year to come.
