Shiraz Lane will release their new album,
“Carnival Days” on February 23, 2018. The band has been extremely busy
throughout 2017 composing, producing and recording their second album in
collaboration with the Swedish producer Per Aldeheim (Def Leppard, Soilwork,
Lambretta). The first single ''Harder To Breathe'' was released on October 11th
accompanied by a music video. Straight after the band headed on yet another
extensive European tour opening for Brother Firetribe.
Shiraz Lane personifies creative variety, which resonates
through their double-edged guitar sound (produced by lead guitarist Jani Laine
and rhythm guitarist Miki Kalske), groovy-yet-solid ground pounding (Ana
Willman drums & Joel Alex bass) and the unmistakably high-soaring melodies
chanted by lead singer Hannes Kett. Despite their relative youth, they are
already veterans of the underground circuit in their homeland and have
developed a reputation for being uncompromising, loud, and most of all, the
genuine article.
Although wearing inspiration and paying homage to their
predecessors like Aerosmith and Guns N' Roses, their sound and music is
destined to develop into something unique. Members of Halestorm, The 69 Eyes,
Amorphis, Children Of Bodom, Lordi and Sonic Syndicate have all praised the
band’s live efforts.
Their debut album “For Crying Out Loud” was released worldwide
in April 2016, and it was a success story from the beginning, achieving 6/7
stars in Metal Hammer Germany and a lot of praise by the biggest Finnish music
magazine Soundi. The young rockers spent the following summer playing festivals
and packed their gear for a two month long European tour with Lordi in the fall
of 2016, before heading out on their first headlining tour in February 2017 in
Spain.
