Nowadays a lot of people say that classic Melodic Rock and AOR are a nostalgic thing, only a leftover
from the eighties. But there are many young bands these days that prove the opposite. One of them
is STRATEGY, a rising star in the genre, formed in Munich by guitarists Lennard „Lenny“ Hammerer and
Jakob Struve. Having found the perfect bandmates, STRATEGY delivers catchy and creative songs with
an authentic and timeless production, warming every heart that beats for 80s Rock.
„Love Tactics“, the self-produced debut album, will show people that this kind of music can be played
fresh and up-to-date without sounding old-fashioned or too modern. The album is made for people
who have loved this music for 40 years as well as for younger fans who are discovering this sound
today. Besides their love for 80s AOR music, the young members of the band, who weren’t born when
this music was at its commercial peak, are also into Prog Rock. Their cover of the YES classic „Into The
Lens“ fits perfectly.
It is difficult to compare STRATEGY with other bands of this genre, as they have their own unique
sound. A perfect example is „Drowning In Heights“, the lead single from the album. It shows all the
facets of their music. If you’re looking for fresh sounding old school AOR, then you’ve found it.
STRATEGY will make you sweat and broaden your horizons!
