NEW BAND ANNOUNCEMENT, THE REVOLUTION SAINTS, FEATURING JACK BLADES, DOUG ALDRICH AND DEEN CASTRONOVO
The Revolution Saints, a new band featuring Jack Blades on bass (Night Ranger, Damn Yankees) Doug Aldrich on guitars (Whitesnake) and Deen Castronovo on drums/vocals (Bad English, Journey, Ozzy Osbourne) has been signed to Frontiers Records.
According to their Facebook page, “this is not going to be your average rock ‘n roll album. It is a record that brings back the classic melodic rock style to where it should be: inspiring, uplifting vocals, soaring melodies and musicianship to die for. Or more simply, it is completely badass.
The project was initially the vision of Frontiers’ President Serafino Perugino, who for years had hoped to work on a project where Deen would be the lead vocalist. Having previously worked with all three artists on different projects on Frontiers, having Deen, Jack and Doug on board together was a dream come true for the president of the label. With production overseen by in-house Frontiers man, Alessandro Del Vecchio (who also contributed to the songwriting and played keyboards on the album), the recording process happened in Portland, OR during the summer of 2014.
Revolution Saints’ music is played with a heart and soul and that highlights the passion and the enthusiasm of three of the best rock and all-around musicians in the game today.”

This is like a trial run…lets see how it plays out, if it works we can push ahead, if not….no harm no foul. I want to see this band work.
I’m looking forward to this band. Deen has a great voice and as others have said does great justice to Steve Perry with his ability to match Perry’s vocal style and range. It’s obvious in the case of this band that he will be singing in his own style, as this band isn’t Journey. I wouldn’t count Jack Blades out as a co-vocalist, as it’s possible that he will sing at least harmony/backup to Deen. Aldrich is a killer guitarist and aside from his stuff with Hurricane, House of Lords, Dio and Whitesnake his most recent side band Burning Rain had an equally awesome album that came out within the past year.
