Atlantic Returns with New Album!
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 like Whitesnake, Journey, Bad English, FM and Dare, he set about writing the songs that became the first Atlantic album entitled "Power" released in 1994.
After a couple of successful decades working as a 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 Grimmett contacted
Mark Pullin - writer, producer and ex-drummer for Grim Reaper,
Julian Hill - ex bass player for Grim Reaper,
Nick Burr - ex Idol Rich, Killers & Lionsheart guitarist,
Tim Bristow - Keyboards.
This line-up, with the added guest appearance of Andy Margrett on some lead guitar duties completed the sound of the newly released album "ANOTHER WORLD".
Albums
The first release by Atlantic.
Originally released in 1994 and then re-released back in 2008, 'Power' is bursting with classics... it’s all about the melodies.
"Power is the PERFECT example of a well-made melodic rock record".
ANOTHER WORLD
"If you love AOR, 'Another World' is for you!
Delivering nostalgic sounds that transport you to 1980's. Hooky vocal melodies, beautifully crafted guitar solos and glistening synths, all packaged and delivered with a modern sounding edge!"
