Giles Lavery produced the new album, along with DAVID REECE. Giles said this about the new material, "I think this is THE career album for David and Bangalore Choir... probably my favourite thing he has ever done, which is already a high bar, I am very happy! It's a "BIG" record, full of amazing songs, this is David's "Bat Out Of Hell II" or "The River", we went for the full melodic-rock 1989-1991 era soundscape with this one, with world class players and co-writers"

David Reece will be hitting the road later this year supporting Girlschool and his BraveWords Records label mates Alcatrazz. David Reece's Bangalore Choir will deliver a blistering set of hits from both Accept and Bangalore Choir, showcasing one of the most distinctive voices in heavy metal. This tour is also the debut of his relaunched version of Bangalore Choir.
American singer David Reece first came to international prominence in the hard rock community joining Accept in 1987, replacing the iconic Udo Dirkschneider. With Accept he released the "Eat The Heat" album in 1989, a record that while somewhat divisive within Accepts more die-hard European fanbase, has no shortage of acclaim in equal measure from the wider hard rock and AOR community. David's voice was a perfect fit for both the more streamlined American heavy rock direction the band wanted to pursue at the time and the Heavy Metal stylings that are still found in great abundance on the record. Thus, songs like Generation Clash and XTC fast became staples of late 80's rock radio and fan favorites to the present day.
After departing Accept in 1990 David wasted no time in forming Bangalore Choir, a band that would showcase his immense vocal talents combined with first rate songwriting. Released via Giant Records in 1992, the bands debut album "On Target" has become an album held dear to lovers of melodic heavy rock the world over. Timing being everything, sadly the change of radio programming toward the then emerging Grunge movement halted a very promising young band from making the global impact it very well might have had if the album had arrived some years earlier.
David has gone on since to front many bands such as Bonfire, Wicked Sensation, EZ Livin' and more recently Iron Allies, but he has always felt there was unfinished business with Bangalore Choir, revisiting the project with the occasional release....which brings us right up to date, the latest Bangalore Choir album ... Its title a guarded secret at this stage. Needless to say, if you wanted more of what you loved about "On Target" this one will truly hit the mark.
