Bio:

SHOTGUN SYMPHONY was a New Jersey band that had some success in Europe back in the early to mid-nineties. Their debut album on British indie label Now and Then Records was something of an instant hit with the European fans of melodic rock, but while the band tried to forge a new identity with their sophomore release "Forget The Rain" they seemed to loose some of their original identity and in hindsight it was probably too much of a dramatic move. The band re-bounded with a more subtle mix of the old sound and the new on its third release "On The Line Of Fire". Having found a happy medium, the band seemed to hit its stride on their final release "Sea of Desire" in 1999. The melodic sound had fully returned but with a more mature and up-to-date feel. The band played their final show in 2002 at the "Gods of AOR" festival in England. The show was video taped with sights on it being released on DVD but that never happened. If they had continued, who knows what subsequent albums may have sounded like but the band is now back and has recently returned to active status for a one-off appearance at the Firefest festival in Nottingham, UK on October 30, 2010.

Album:

Exclusive SHOTGUN SYMPHONY's "The Last Symphony : A Retrospective", a 4-CD complete overhaul of their discography in one special, remastered limited edition package (500 units), appeared last year and already sold-out.However, the band has re-released the collection this 2018, and believe me, it's a fantastic set from this underrated Melodic Rock / AOR act.Hailing from the US East Coast, Shotgun Symphony are a band who sadly arrived a little too late for their talents to achieve the kind of commercial success they deserved – had debut 'Shotgun Symphony' emerged five years earlier their impact could have been significant, but '93 was a cold and unforgiving place to find yourself if you played melodic rock / AOR.Their self-titled debut album on British indie label Now and Then Records was something of an instant hit with the European fans of melodic rock, a very unique 'layered' sound with pompy AOR overtones and stupendous musicianship.While the band tried to forge a new modernized identity with their release "On The Line Of Fire" they seemed to loose some of their original feel. Anyway, there's still some awesome melodic tunes on this album, and a polished production.The band seemed to hit its stride on their final release "Sea Of Desire" in 1999. The melodic sound had fully returned but with a more mature and up-to-date feel.This album is real pleasure from beginning to end, filled with bouncy melodious rhythms, soaring vocals and catchy choruses."The Last Symphony : A Retrospective" delivers these 3 stupendous albums with a pristine remastered sound (it really improves the whole thing, especially the first two albums) but also a bonus disc full of delicious, previosly unreleased rarities.There's even a fresh version of one of the band's finest songs, 'Carousel Of Broken Dreams', newly recorded with the band’s original line up especially for this 4-CD release.
