Cornerstone – Somewhere In America (CD)

Hailing from Austria the band have been around in different guises for over 10 years, but only in the last few has the benefits of a stable line-up enabled Cornerstone to branch out and develop their brand of Female-Fronted AOR, culminating in this extremely catchy and melodic offering.
Vocalist Patricia Hillinger in particular comes across really well, reminding you in places of ‘80s Fleetwood Mac, whilst guitarist Steve Wachelhelfor sails through solo after solo in the classic Journey style.
Cornerstone has been very clever in combining the vintage AOR sound with a contemporary hard edge production. The result should reap rewards for the band. Now under the www.rockngrowl.com umbrella, the push into European and UK markets should be easier and any success based on this offering is richly deserved.
