Dare - Road To Eden

UK rock band Dare is probably best known for lead singer & songwriter Darren Wharton, who first rose to fame in the early eighties playing keyboards with legendary Irish rock band Thin Lizzy. Dare is one of the most respected and innovative melodic rock bands working today, having gained cult status among AOR fans throughout Europe, the UK and the world. The band’s debut 1989 album "Out Of The Silence", recorded at Joni Mitchell’s Bel Air Studio in Los Angeles and produced by Nickelback producer Mike Shipley, is still widely regarded today as one of the all time great AOR albums. "Road To Eden" follows Dare’s critically acclaimed albums "Sacred Ground" (2016) and "Out Of The Silence 2" (2018). Both albums reached #1 in the Amazon Classic Rock Charts in four countries: the UK, Germany, Italy and Spain. Dare reached #5 in the official UK rock charts, #6 in the US Amazon Classic Rock Charts and #1 in Japan Rock Imports. "Road To Ede" is destined to be another modern Dare classic. Produced and written by Darren Wharton at his studio in the majestic mountains of North Wales, the new album has a harder rock edge than previous albums, whilst still retaining the atmospheric sound and anthem like melodies that has become the band's trademark. "Road To Eden" features ten brand-new beautifully crafted songs that capture the very heart of Dare. "With a full headline UK tour set for the UK in 2022 plus dates in Spain, Scandinavia and Germany, it’s going to be an exciting year", explains Darren. “We wanted to write an album that translated well to live performance and 'Road To Eden' has some great anthems, energy and power. We can’t wait to play these songs live.” With previous Dare albums now having well over 4 million streams on Spotify, it’s clear that for the growing army of Dare fans, the wait is nearly over, as they get ready to join the band on "The Road To Eden". “Road To Eden” will be released on CD on April 1, 2022 via Legend Records/ Cargo and Level Music/ Warner digitally on the same day. A release on vinyl will be scheduled later in the year. Produced by Darren Wharton.
