SEDONA - Golden Valley

Sedona - Golden Valley CD

Westcoast AOR always enjoyed great popularity in France, the native country of Sedona. The members of the band are accomplished instrumentalists, who also know how to sing those typical Westcoast harmonies. The songs range from rocking tracks like "Surfing State Of Mind" and "The Story", in the vein of Tim Feehan, Joseph Williams, Jay Graydon's Planet 3 and Beckett, to the mid-tempo cuts "Golden Valley" and "California Ballad" à la King Of Hearts, L.A. Cowboys and Michael Ruff. The album will also be embraced by friends of classic bands like Toto, the Little River Band, Dakota, Boulevard and Nielsen / Pearson.

The first release of 2010 on Avenue Of Allies!
SORA – "Desire And Truth" is ready to rock the world.

Sora Desire & TruthErol Sora


"Desire And Truth" is the follow-up to 2006's "Demented Honour", which received rave reviews globally and cemented Erol Sora's reputation now as a lead vocalist as well as guitarist and ended up in melodicrock.com's Top 10 New Artists of that year. To match the success of his debut album, the ex-John Lawton Band guitarist took his time to work on the songs for his sophomore record. His goal was to recapture the spirit and sound of great British bands from the late '70s/early '80s such as MSG, Whitesnake, Rainbow, UFO and Gary Moore.

"Desire And Truth" is heavier and more guitar oriented than the debut, yet still very melodic in terms of vocals and songwriting. The album includes some of Erol's finest work to date like the in-your-face opener "Taste of Rock & Roll", a heavy bluesy Whitesnake influenced song. The aptly titled "The Storm Has Just Begun" is equally rocking and features a stunning guitar solo. The Schenker influenced melodic rocker "Diamonds In The Wind" and the tongue-in-cheek "Rock & Roll Dog" are more examples of Erol's diverse songwriting skills and influences.
"When You're Gone" a heartfelt ballad, and the haunting "When You Gonna Love Me" deliver the quieter moments of this fascinating new album by a fabulous guitarist and vocalist.

"Desire And Truth", release date Feb 26th 2010, has already received some great feedback around the world, including a 86/100 rating in the latest issue of the well respected Japanese Burrn! Magazine.


Tracklist: 1. Taste Of Rock & Roll (MP3) 2. The Storm Has Just Begun 3. What's It Gotta Do With You And Me 4. Winter 5. When You're Gone 6. Diamonds In The Wind 7. Invitation 8. Stop Messin' Around 9. Rock & Roll Dog 10. When You Gonna Love Me.
