ANDRE ANDERSEN, PAUL LAINE, DAVID READMAN Team Up For 'III' Project

January 17, 2006

Frontiers Records has announced the release of the new exciting ANDRE ANDERSEN / PAUL LAINE / DAVID READMAN "III" project on March 24.

The project came together after Andre Andersen (keyboard maestro and mainman of ROYAL HUNT) and Paul Laine (former singer of DANGER DANGER) decided to work together as a result of the mutual respect they held for one another.

As a basis for the project, Andre started to write "straight rock tunes." Says Andersen, "It was a challenge to push these songs in a 3.5- to 4-minute frames, ditching those longer instrumental passages, elaborate intros and such. But it was fun nevertheless. The whole sound landscape is pretty much 'in your face.' Every player did a great job so the main point of this album — no thrills, pure rock — came across as planned."

After the first recording sessions, Andre felt the desire to expand the project to include another powerful and strong vocalist he had admired for some time, namely PINK CREAM 69 frontman David Readman. David liked the demos that Andre prepared for the project and in a few weeks the record was completed.

"Both singers are great," says Andre, "and even if I crafted the songs particularly for their vocal styles, they made my job a lot easier."
