One of the UK’s pioneering AOR acts, Airrace were originally formed in 1982. Having recently re-signed to the Frontiers label, the band has announced a new album, entitled ‘Untold Stories’, released on 10th August. Founding member Laurie Mansworth says,“We had a great time making the record. It’s not typically Airrace, with a lot of the material being more 70’s influenced. There is also a much wider spectrum between light andshade in thewriting. I have always liked a wide range of different musical styles, from ELO to Led Zep, and when writing thesesongs I incorporated many of my influences from over the years.” 

First single, ‘Summer Rain’, is described by Mansworth as“a song for the summer. I wanted to write some thing up beat with a positive feel, as there is far too much doom and gloom around at the moment. This song will hopefully take you to a sunny day and liftyour spirit.” 

An eight date UK tour in September to promote the album will see Airrace pairing up with Frontiers label mates The Treatment, with support from Tequila Mocking byrd. The itinerary is as follows :

Knownin Hard Rock circles for being the band that saw the musical debut of drummer Jason Bonham, Airrace was the brainchild of former More guitarist Laurie Mansworth. Following the acclaimed 1984 release of their debut album, ’Shaft Of Light’, the band supported rock titans such as Queen, AC/DC and Meat Loaf, but they had crash-landed by the summer of 1985. It took a 25th anniversary reissue of the record to reunite the group (with a slightly amended line-up), and they eventually issued a second album, ‘Back To The Start’, via Frontiers in 2011.
