On the release of 'Crossfire', Marc Storace expresses his excitement:

Tommy Henriksen, in spite of his tight touring schedule with Alice Cooper, The Hollywood Vampires, and his work with his Crossbone Skully, actually 'made time' to produce my 'Crossfire' album! Hell yeah, that’s what I call a good friend! Creating the songs with T felt like magic… And he even got the incredible Olle Romo, Mutt Lange’s very own engineer, to mix the album… Unbelievable! It was like a match made in heaven!! Play It Loud!!”

Maltese-born-Swiss musician Marc Storace started his exceptional musical career in 1970, with the Swiss cult progressive band TEA, which became a very successful band and with whom he released 5 LPs. Marc gained attention for his frontmanship and high-pitched raunchy vocal tone.

In 1979, Marc became the voice of Krokus, the most successful Hard Rock band from Switzerland. After their first album with Marc, 'Metal Rendez-Vous,' Krokus played several world tours, sold over 15 million records, and won many gold and platinum awards.

After the group disbanded, Marc formed the band Blue, who released their self-titled album in 1991, including the widely known hit “You Can't Stop The Rainfall”.

In the 90s and 2000s, Marc acted in two feature films (Anuk and Handyman) and reached gold status with various Krokus formations and three LPs. With many guest appearances such as on Rock Meets Classic, Sweet 50th Anniversary, Ken Hensley Live in Switzerland, Schubert In Rock, and on Manfred Ehlert's albums 'Amen' and the rock opera 'Test', Marc remained present with his fans.

In 2008, fans were surprised by the news that the original Krokus formation would be touring again. The success was tremendous: tours in USA, Japan, Europe and South America as well as 2 new studio LPs, which, in turn, earned platinum status. In December 2019, Krokus played a farewell concert at the sold-out Hallenstadion in Zurich.

At the beginning of 2021, Marc started working on his solo career as STORACE and at the end of 2021, he released his first solo album 'Live And Let Live.' In the middle of the pandemic, Marc started his first tour in Switzerland accompanied by the album's studio band. Since May 2022, Marc has been performing with his new band and rocking the stage like never before.

Marc spent 2023 and 2024 writing and producing the new album 'Crossfire,' a monster piece of Hard Rock, with songwriting shared between Marc Storace, guitar player Tommy Henriksen (Alice Cooper band) and drummer Pat Aeby (Krokus, Gotus).

'Crossfire,' produced by Tommy Henriksen and mixed by the award-winning engineer Olle Romo, features a collection of Hard Rock anthemic songs, with big choruses, great guitars, and an awesome rhythm section!

Marc Storace - Vocals

Dom Favez – Rhythm Guitar

Serge Christen – Lead Guitar

Tropic Gold Sign to UNFD + Share "Adrenaline" Video

Suffolk-via-Essex quartet Tropic Gold have announced their signing to UNFDwith the video for the huge new single "Adrenaline." The track was exclusively premiered on Monday night’s BBC Radio 1 Rock Show, with sit-in host and long-term supporter Alyx Holcombe enthusing, "That was so incredible!"

Watch the video below.

"'Adrenaline' unravels the uncontrollable feeling of not being able to get through a day without an unreasonably positive event occurring," shares the band. "It vocalizes how having a day without an extreme positive lift can result in intense lows, similar to withdrawal symptoms. The lyrics are written from a 'talking to myself' perspective, with vocals representing an inner monologue highlighted throughout the song."

Tropic Gold continue, "The excitement of signing with UNFD is undeniably life changing. We are beyond grateful for the shared enthusiasm UNFD have in the future of Tropic Gold, and are not holding back on making the most of what this partnership can create. The shared ambition for bringing the vision of Tropic Gold to life has allowed us to expand our team for the first time, and UNFD have made us feel lovingly welcomed and part of a family immediately. We can't wait to invite the world to join the experience."

ABOUT TROPIC GOLD:
Tropic Gold offer up a sleekly modern meld of alternative, metal, pop, and electronica, cajoling their passions for a dynamic culture pool of music and production styles into a single sonic petri dish. Though originally formed in 2019, the quartet have spent years in the lab, developing their sound and strong aesthetics behind the closed doors of a bespoke, self-built multimedia studio. The Tropic Gold method is truly hands on, with guitarist Joshua Leehandling all production and recording duties, as well as diving into the weeds on their visual curation, manning the camera and edit suite as often as the production chair. Today, with their vision firmly in grasp, the band are ready to move beyond the prologue, and have struck up a partnership with UNFD to bring their soaring, infectious soundscapes to a global audience. Pairing swathes of moody atmospherics with soaring, ear worm choruses, the band's songs feel like they would be equally A Vibe™ pulsing across sticky, cramped dance floors as soaring atop airy arenas.

Coming on like a new romantic Bring Me The Horizon or a post-breakup Don Broco who just discovered their parents copy of The Cure's Disintegration or a 45rpm copy of Sing The Sorrow playing at 33rpm… tl;dr: Tropic Gold are as gloomy as they are catchy.

 Sharing a sonic space with the likes of the aforementioned BMTH and Broco, PVRIS, (latter day) Architects, Caskets, Spiritbox's plaintive moments, and even Enter Shikari (albeit on Valium), Tropic Gold are just getting started in figuring out how to weaponize their cocktail of slap and swag.

Jacob Parris — Vocals
Joshua Lee — Guitars + Programming
Bradley Lawrence — Bass
George Southernwood — Drums
