Founded in 2020, WHITE SKIES are by no means newcomers. Singer Mick White

has been a fixture on the British melodic hard rock scene since the mid-1980s. In

addition to his involvement with the cult band SAMSON, with whom he supported

IRON MAIDEN on their "Somewhere in Time" tour and can be heard on the albums

"And There It Is" and "1988," he also sang with PAUL SAMSON'S EMPIRE and

FIRST STRIKE. Guitarist Ray Callcut has been gracing the albums of cult AOR band

YA YA with his playing since 1983. Keyboardist Pete Laikin comes from the melodic

rock bands DANTE FOX and DOUBLE CROSS. Drummer Daz Lamberton is a studio

ace on the British music scene who has worked with the British melodic kings TEN,

among others. The band is completed by bassist Rob Naylor from the NWOBHM

band SAM THUNDER. Despite this more than impressive past, WHITE SKIES do

not see themselves as a project, but as a real band, which has been reinforced by

countless live shows on the British Isles. Together they have created a sound that

puts melodic class above technical showmanship. So it came as no surprise that

their debut album "Black Tide," released in 2022, hit the melodic rock scene like a

bomb and made the band instant favorites.

The new WHITE SKIES album "Shouting At The Hurricane," produced by Mick,

Ray, and Pete, who was also responsible for mixing and mastering, is the band's

next logical step toward catapulting themselves to the top with a further refined

musical profile and a new label. The album breathes the spirit of classic Adult

Oriented Rock and confidently transports it into the here and now, without

sounding dusty or old-fashioned. It showcases not only the entire spectrum of

AOR, but also the very best this musical style has to offer. The songs captivate

with first-class, timeless songwriting and unique virtuosity, and with them the band

revives the golden era of melodic rock with substance and soul. The big choruses

and emotional melodies linger exactly where classic AOR belongs: in the heart.

"Shouting At The Hurricane" is the album for lovers of melodic rock and perfect

for stages around the world!
