Pink Cream 69 -- New Album "Headstrong" Coming Nov. 10

The lead single sounds pretty good. I'm looking forward to new PC69 music. Their albums are generally consistent, and I love David Readman's voice.

Readman has a great voice and that song sounds pretty good.  I'm just not sure I'm up for a whole album of that style though; it's soooo not what I listen to anymore.

Sounds cool. I'll pick it up at some point I'm sure. I have all their others and they've yet to disappoint me. Yes, even their "grunge" album.

I have them all, and will buy this one too.

Good stuff. I still need to add them to my collection.

Will definitely give that one a try.

New Harem Scarem, Eclipse, Brother Firetribe, H.E.A.T., and now PC69? Good year for melodic hard rock!

Love PC69. No brainer for me. I'll be getting this for sure.

except HEAT has gone electronic now..

That song is okay. Decent melody. They could play it harder. Readman has sounded better.

You may be thinking of Mannequin Show which was the only song like that. The rest of their last album was good ol' MHR/AOR.

Some of the other tunes on this album are way better than that lead single:

The CD comes with a bonus live disc. I ordered from Amazon.

I must redact my statement. At the time the album hadn't been released so I didn't think you were talking about it. They have indeed added electronic elements to their MHR. While I understand some bands don't want to be merely a retro act and feel the need to add elements to their music and expand, in this case I'm not sure I like the direction they're taking. The first song was very close to the H.E.A.T. sound of old but the rest (sans one song that also felt like old H.E.A.T.) while still catchy and at it's heart is still MHR, it was just was too out there for me. I've only listened to the album once and have not felt the need to revisit it again just yet.

Luckily, PC69 is not a young band like H.E.A.T and are not likely to abandon the MHR they are known for so I am highly anticipating this one!

the new H.E.A.T is a mixed bag for me. Some of it is good while other parts is meh. Too bad because they were a blind buy for me until now. At least the new Keldian and new Phantom 5 are very good.

Agreed! I know about Keldian but I need to check out Phantom 5.

How's everyone liking the album?

Here's an official video they made:

Man i keep forgetting about this one. Will make sure to include it in my next amazon order.

Another fine slab of MHR from one of the masters!

Which P.C 69 albums would you recommend me?

Electrified and Endangered are their best IMO. Electrified contains Shame which in my opinion is one of the greatest melodic hard rock songs ever written:

Good song. I am checking games people play right now. Deris delivers some good vocals in there.

Sonic Dynamite is my favourite, and One Size Fits All from the Deris years.

I did a full ranking on Rateyourmusic, click on my signature.

This album is really, really good.

These guys don't know how to write a bad song!

I don't think they have an album that's less than good, but this one has been really kicking my butt.

I'm in agreement with you on that one. I've never heard a bad album from these guys. I still need to get this one though. I kinda forgot about it.
