CD REVIEW: REACH by Tyketto

REACH by Tyketto
(Frontier Records)

After five years of relentless touring that included playing on some of the most prestigious stages on the planet, Tyketto took their revitalized energy in to the studio in the spring of 2016. The result being their powerful latest release, 'Reach'
The sessions took place at the legendary Rockfield Studios in Wales (Queen, Rush, Oasis). Danny Vaughn – lead vocals, Chris Green - guitar, vocals, Chris Childs - bass guitar, vocals, Ged Rylands (X-TEN/Rage Of Angels) - keyboards, vocals and Michael Clayton Arbeeny - drums, percussion, vocals. This latest offering from Tyketto is a rock solid release front to back.. There's some true epics on here and I have to salute Danny Vaughn  for his remarkable efforts over the years. He is a powerful singer, able to easily add a strong emotional touch with his voice. He's got power and melody, pitch perfect delivery, and with a subtle natural grit and on this release, he delivers the goods. Stand out tracks for me are the title track, the adrenaline induced mover, "Big Money", "Kick Like A Mule", the Survivor-ish, "I Need It Now" and "Tearing Down The Sky", that echoes the 'Forever Young' era of the band. Overall, 'Reach' is a well made album of melodic hard rock. Tyketto continue to push forward amid a music industry devoid of any substance whatsoever provides hope for future generations that hear this music and decide that, while rap and pop songs are really nice, this music just tears that music to shreds. - Highly Recommended
