Hi Matt !

I have a few bands to recommend :

- Jaded Heart "IV" (1999) MTM records. With Michael Bormann on lead vocals, who sang with Bonfire at a time, I think. A killer album with exceptional melodies and unbelievable energy ! web site : www.jadedheart.de
- Frontline "The State Of Rock" (1995) CNR music. A great AOR band with strong melodies and wonderful harmonies. I know just this album but they made three others. you can visit their web site www.frontline-music.com
- Jimmy Lawrence "The World Is Round" (1998) MTM. "Sweet" rock'n'roll with wonderful melodies, and a fantastic voice !
- Robert Tepper "No Rest For The Wounded Heart" (1996) MTM. Fantastic singer, fantastic melodic rock album !
- Gotthard "Open" (1999). More rock than hard than usually, but this album is exceptionally strong in emotions. If you like acoustic stuffs, they did an acoustic album in 1997 called "D-frosted". Steve Lee has a fantastic voice too ! I'd recommend also their first release which is more hard US, with big hits (Standing In The Light & Firedance are great rock'n'roll moments). web site : www.gotthard.com

That's all for today !
Hope that I could help you...
Best regards, and keep rockin'
