[AOR/Synth Rock/Melodic Rock/Pop Rock/Rock/New Wave] Here is the Canadian pop rock group New Regime with their self titled 1985 debut album "New Regime". An amazing AOR Synth Rock album that has unfortunately faded away into obscurity. New Regime was a Canadian pop rock band, active from 1982 to 1987 (I like to consider them the Canadian version of Duran Duran, lol). They released two albums on RCA Records during their lifetime, and toured as an opening act for the band Platinum Blonde in 1985. The band was initially formed by vocalist Kevin Connelly and drummer Neil Taylor, who were both high school friends. The group members on this debut album are: Kevin Connelly - vocals, Rick Lintlop - Bass/Keyboards, Neil A. Taylor - Drums/Percussion, Norm McMullen - Guitar/Guitar Synthesizer, and Russell Walker - Keyboards. Signed to RCA Records in 1984, they released this self-titled debut album in 1985. The album spawned the radio singles "Seduction" (Track 7), "Love In Motion" (Track 2), "Fools Cry" (Track 4) and "Treasure" (Track 1) with subsequent music videos also made. "Seduction" (Track 7) peaked at #80 in the RPM singles chart the week of August 20th, 1985, while none of the other singles charted. The album was also modestly successful on the Canadian charts, peaking at #87 in the RPM100 albums chart in the week of July 20th, 1985. Producer Terry Brown was also nominated for Producer of the Year at the Juno Awards of 1985 for his work on this album. On December 31th, 1985, the band played a special New Year's Eve show at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, as the opening act on a bill that also included Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) and the Thompson Twins. They released a second album in 1987 called "The Race" which surprisingly did better than this album. However, the band eventually broke up and everyone went their separate ways. Main vocalist Kevin Connelly went on to launch a solo career, releasing the critically-acclaimed SON OF THE SUN album in '96. A few years later he went back to his roots and formed a David Bowie tribute show called "Life On Mars". He then tried his hand at acting, and performed in stage productions of "A Christmas Carol" and the musical "Job & The Snake". He then created an original rock opera entitled "Burn - The Real Joan of Arc Story". He also spent some time with his new band, "The Iron Age Mystics". With that said, the stand out track on this album for me is "Love In Motion" (Track 2) as it is so catchy and rhythmic that I end up playing it over and over again, haha. Overall, if you're a fan of Duran Duran or the Australian New Wave group "Kids In The Kitchen", then you'll love this album from start to finish. This album was released under RCA Records, RCA Victor '85.
