All I Know : "Vanity kills" une fois...

Un groupe de AOR belge, ce n'est pas très courant, & ça mérite bien un sujet. Chant sympa, bon anglais, les belges s'exportent aussi, sans complexe. A l'écoute, ça sonne américain. Pour preuve, Beau Hill a remixé leur single "Rain", après les avoir contactés personnellement. Alors, pari réussi?

What happens when 4 young guns go through their parents' record collection ? There are those with bad luck who end up with LP's by Jean-Michel Jarre, Samantha Fox or Nana Mouskouri. The more fortunate ones strike gold and discover classic albums by Def Leppard, Billy Idol, Van Halen or Poison. Back in the eighties these bands were all part of the hard rock wave coming over from the United States. All I Know pick up where these classic bands left off. On their first full length album "Vanity Kills" they wear their influences on their sleeves. Let yourself be swept away by blistering guitar-attacks, thundering drums and big choruses!

All I Know, from Kortrijk, Belgium, have been playing and writing since 2005 and worked during that time on their debut album, which was pressed independently by the band in 2009 and sold online or at their live shows. In early 2010 the band were selected out of 1000 bands for the final round of Belgium's most important rock contest, Humo's Rock Rally 2010, organized by one of Belgium's biggest magazines, 'Humo'.
A huge percentage of all successful Belgian rock bands have made their name through this contest. AIK did not reach the semi-finals, because according to the jury, no one is waiting for the next Bon Jovi! But All I Know proud to be the only band representing the genre, and is sticking to its guns!
All I Know hasn't had a permanent drummer for the last two years, working live with Bram Steemans, drummer of Belgium's biggest punk band Janez Detd.

Despite approaching a number of well known and smaller labels, the band could not secure a deal for a wider release of their album. Something which shocked MelodicRock Records owner Andrew McNeice: "I was stunned the band had an album of this quality sitting on the shelf. I couldn't believe that here was something I knew would have huge appeal to my own site audience and no one would take a chance on it. I took it up myself to shop the album to the labels I knew and when I couldn't get them a deal either! I knew at that point it was time to do things myself. And from that point I knew All I Know would be one of the first bands to be released on my label."
Since the original indie release of this album was available, a few changes have been made. There are two brand new 2010 tracks which have been added and the lead single "Rain" was given the full re-mix treatment by legendary producer Beau Hill. U.S. radio station KEGL who passed Beau a copy of the album, which saw him contact the band personally to help in some way.
To quote Beau: "All I Know caught my attention with their excellent material, an unusual focus on arrangement details, and progressive melodic hooks…sounds like the recipe for a hit to me."

The single "Rain" will be included on the new MelodicRock.com CD Sampler: Forces of Dark & Light (out September 10).

All I Know's sound sees them mix up the best influences of Bryan Adams, Van Stephenson, REO Speedwagon and Bon Jovi.

All I Know are: Ward Dufraimont (Lead Vocals/Guitar), Michaël Neyt (Guitar/Vocals), Amély Mondy (Bass).

Au fait, si j'ajoute une pochette avec une fille nue, je peux espérer au moins une réponse, hein dites?

Ici, je peux plus facilement l'écrire mais z'ont une rude sale tronche... Pour un tel style, c'est pas un atout...

Pourquoi, pas de délit de sale tronche ailleurs...je plaisante, mais tu peux quand même le dire, non?
Bof, celui de gauche n'est pas moche moche...

Sinon ma pochette alternative, elle te plait?

Shandi a écrit:

Oui, oui...

comme je peux tout écrire ici, je trouve que leur tronche vaut largement celle de beaucoup de groupes français
en tout musicalement, ils assurent et le titre de beau hill est vraiment bon. Ok, parfois ça fait penser à REO mais c'est plutôt flatteur comme comparaison.
Non vraiment, bonne prod pour le genre.

Ah mais je suis d'accord aussi...

Puisqu'on en est aux confidences...ça sonne achement mieux que certains groupes français qui se sont essayés au genre...notamment l'accent.

Les Belges ont toujours été beaucoup plus anglophones que nous... Les Belges ont de meilleurs goûts musicaux par exemple (bon, pour éviter la polémique, beaucoup plus proches des miens on va dire...). Meilleur public etc...

Naad, sors de ce corps

Les belges ont la frite, que j'aime cet album!

Booth a écrit:Les Belges ont toujours été beaucoup plus anglophones que nous...

Ce n'est pas difficile.

Pour l'instant, seul titre dispo sur le tube.

J'espère que la photo du groupe ne t'a pas empêché d'aller écouter.

et voilà....
