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.”

Great players don’t always make a great band. Chemistry and songs are the key.
Aldrich is a great guitar player,we shall see…
Frontier puts all these groups together.
If the songs are there this will be good –
I have the feeling they will be. Deen has recorded good new music with Journey but has been essentially filling Aynsley Dunbar and Steve Smith’s drum seat for the last 15 years, earning a living and paying the bills. Doug Aldrich is a great guitarist and Jack Blades is probably glad to be just the bass player. I’m actually excited about this one.
