Houston is: Freddie Allen and Hank Erix - two young men joined together on a mission to create the music of their dreams.
The music of Houston brings back memories of Survivor, Boston, Foreigner and Journey. Only this is no journey back in time. AOR music is on the move and has seldom been more celebrated by critics and fans alike. Journey's 1981 single 'Don't Stop Believing' sensationally climbed back to the top ten of the British single charts last year, while bands like Foreigner and Boston continue to show up on movie soundtrack albums - and Bon Jovi's concert tours breaks new records in the US and elsewhere. AOR strikes back, bigtime. And Houston is here for the take-off.
Houston's debut album mixes classical song writing and musicianship, with new talent and an urge to create the best rock music imaginable. Focusing on strong choruses, high-pitched but still smooth vocals, sweet and dreamy keyboards and of course guitar solos to end all guitar solos - this is a must for every respectable rock connoisseur. Tommy Denander, Tomas Vikström, Mats Olausson - these are only a few of the rock legends appearing on the album. Master producer Ricky B. Delin has lined up an amazing crew working to create the best of both these worlds, the classical and the up-and-coming.
The first single 'Hold On' has gotten a lot of attention and air time in Sweden and Finland. The selftitled debut album has sold thousands of copies in Sweden and surrounding territories. It has recently been picked up by Universal/Spinefarm in the U.K. and Ireland, where it will be released with two bonus tracks shortly.
