British melodic rock band Atlantic return today with "What Hurts The Most", a powerful rendition of the country classic hit, originally recorded by Mark Wills in 2003 and then become famous thanks to Rascal Flatts. The track, along with an official visualizer, is out now via Frontiers Music Srl.
Guitarist Simon Harrison commented: "So looking forward to our first release with Frontiers - "What Hurts The Most". Frontiers feel like a spiritual home for Atlantic. We are excited to work with them on our new music. I'd just like to say thanks to Mario and everyone at Frontiers for their support and belief in us."
Atlantic was founded by guitarist and songwriter Simon Harrison. Following on from his bands Stranger and Wisht, Simon wanted to make an album in his favoured AOR/Melodic rock genre.
Heavily influenced by bands such as Whitesnake, Journey, Bad English, FM and Dare, he set about writing the songs that became the first Atlantic album entitled "Power", released in
1994. It became a niche classic, selling hundreds of thousands of copies.
After a couple of decades working as a very successful ghost writer, producer and mix engineer, Simon met up with Mark Grimmett (Vocalist) and decided to reignite Atlantic.
In 2021, after sketching out the ideas for the new album, Simon and Mark got together with some other very talented musicians to form the current line-up, featuring Mark Grimmett (vocals), Simon Harrison (guitar), Nick Burr (guitar), Julian Hill (bass), Mark Peters (keyboards) and Eddie Marsh (drums).

Their latest album "Another World" was released in 2024, again to critical acclaim and success. With their classic sound, strong melodies and heartfelt songwriting, the band is set to return with new music later this year.
