^{Outloud release their third album “Let’s Get Serious” through AOR Heaven on 26th May. The band can trace its roots back to Athens in 2004, though their first album “We’ll Rock You To Hell and Back Again” wasn’t released until 2009. Like most bands, there have been a series of line-up changes but Bob Katsionis (guitars and keyboards) and Chandler Mogel (vocals) have remained at the core throughout. Katsionis is probably best known as a member of Greek band Firewind, whilst Mogel from the USA is an exceptional singer who has appeared in a number of bands including Talon.}

^{“Let’s Get Serious” was produced by Katsionis and mixed and mastered by Tommy Hansen of Pretty Maids / TNT. Drummer George Kollias of Nile and Adrenaline Mob guitarist Mike Orlando worked on the album, but are replaced by drummer Kostas Milonas and guitarist Jim Scordilis in the touring line-up which is completed by Sverd on bass.}

_{There are 12 tracks on the album including the instrumental title track and a cover of OMD’s “Enola Gay”. Personal favourites include “Death Rock”, “One More Time”, “A While to Go” and “All In Vain”.}

_{About “NI Rocks Recommends”}

_{I'm not a reviewer and I certainly don’t claim to be a journalist, but I wanted to acknowledge some of the great music being submitted to Rock Radio NI by artists, promoters and labels. That was the simple idea behind “NI Rocks Recommends”. To be honest I’m not really a big fan of the whole idea of “Reviews” as they just represent one person’s opinion!!  So I'm not giving marks or ratings, trying to categorise bands or compare artists. The albums that I’ll be recommending are merely those that I would buy myself and which you’ll be hearing played on my shows on Rock Radio NI.}
