Old Habits Die Hard [CD] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Best known for being the front-man of legendary US Hard Rock band ANGEL, Frank DiMino is now leading his own solo project and debuts with a fine Melodic Hard Rock album aptly titled "Old Habits Die Hard". ANGEL is a band that was discovered (similarly to VAN HALEN) by KISS bass player Gene Simmons, who got them signed to Casablanca Records. With that label ANGEL released 5 critically acclaimed studio and one live album in the second half of the 70's. After the band's demise, Dimino went on to work with UFO's Paul Raymond and worked as singer for Soundtracks, scoring a Platinum album for the inclusion of his Cycle V song "Seduce Me Tonight" on the "Flashdance" soundtrack. While Frank is undoubtedly the brainchild of DIMINO, the new album sees him collaborate with some heavyweights of the Vegas music scene, which is where he currently resides. Under the production of Paul Crook (MEAT LOAF), DIMINO sees the participation - among others - of Oz Fox (STRYPER), Eddie Ojeda (TWISTED SISTER), Rickey Medlocke (BLACKFOOT, LYNYRD SKYNYRD), Jeff Labansky, and former ANGEL bandmates Punky Meadows (on guitar) and Barry Brandt (co-writing with Frank the song" Even Now"). "Old Habits Die Hard" is going to take many by surprise as this is not a nostalgia fest, but a really compelling and inspired Hard Rock release. Frank DiMino is back and here to stay.
