S-ROCK - DON'T MISS IT!

We proudly introduce an excellent AOR project from Sweden
called T'BELL with Patrik Tibell (Vo) and Roger Ljunggren (G).
They've already finished working for their album called "REPLAY"
with 12 tracks, which is now out from a German label AOR
HEAVEN (July 2000) and which is on sale now with 2bonus
tracks called "Sorry Elaine" and "Forever" from MARQUEE/
Avalon in Japan (November 2000). You'll read their biography by
Roger, the guitar player.

The whole idea of T'BELL started back in the late 80's.
Per was working at a record company in Skara and told me
about Patrik Tibell, who was working there as a studio engineer,
but he was also known for being the singer of a local band called
TRACE. Besides writing almost all their materials, he wrote a lot
of materials of his own - and some of these songs Per got the
oppotunity to listen to - and told me that those were some of
the most excellent AOR-songs he has ever heard... At this time
I was working as a studio and session musician and actually met
Patrik when we were doing a TV show together. He played some
of these songs for me back then and I also got blown away by
his songs. We said to each other that we had to work together
in the studio in the near future, but as we worked with a lot of
projects at that time it turned out to take 10 years to fulfill our
plans about playing together... We started out making new
versions of the old songs,
with no real plan of releasing any of it, but Per said to us that
we had to make a serious attempt to get a record deal. Our
materials almost had been put away for 15 years!!!
And so we did - so what you have listened to is the demo we
made, which led us to sign with the german record company
AOR HEAVEN. We're right now finishing the last parts of the
forthcoming album "REPLAY", which is planned to be released
in May. It will contain 12 songs written between '82 - '95 and
could be described as a pure 80's styled AOR album.
Besides me and Patrik the musicians on the album are studio
musicians specially picked by Patrik to get the best possible
result of the songs and getting that special sound and style we
were looking for. We really hope that you will be as satisfied as
we are with the album.

Best, Roger Ljunggren (guitar player for T'BELL)

As he told, T'BELL music is 80's style AOR. Catchy, pop and
neat (and of courseheartful). The best expression for their
music could be "You want to sing along with their songs." If
you like Mikael Erlandson (he's popular for Japanese melodic
hard pop maniacs) you　should try T'BELL definitely!!!
