earMUSIC is thrilled to announce the new album from Swedish rock supergroup, EUROPE. The long player, set for UK release on Monday 30th April 2012, is entitled Bag of Bones. The first single, Not Supposed To Sing The Blues, will be released digitally on Friday March 9th.

Bag of Bones is produced by Kevin Shirley. No stranger to the crème de la crème of iconic rock, Shirley has produced albums for the likes of Iron Maiden, Joe Bonamassa, Black Country Communion, Black Stone Cherry and Journey.

Contributing slide guitar to the title track Bag of Bones is blues rock guitarist Joe Bonamassa. “We’re honoured that Joe Bonamassa wanted to play some slide guitar on our record. We’re all big fans of his music”, says Europe front man Joey Tempest. Released on CD and vinyl formats, the album features a more straightforward rock approach.

Why drive a VW beetle when you can drive a Rolls Royce? asks Europes guitarist John Norum. Bag of Bones is a classic rock album with lots of class. Even my mom likes it!

Europe vocalist Joey Tempest believes that 2009s Last Look At Eden album was a significant turning point for the band. That album proved to be the bands most important record since The Final Countdown. Now, with the highly anticipated release of Bag of Bones, Tempest says Europe is ready to do some serious damage.

Bag of Bones is produced by Kevin Shirley (Black Stone Cherry, The Black Crowes, Joe Bonamassa, Aerosmith, Black Country Communion) and features Joe Bonamassa on the title track.

27 July Niagara Falls:

NordicStorm — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 03:57:53 +0000

Now touring with lovely Shannon, who didn’t have to come up but, she did, thank you Shannon. Niagara Falls, just simply BEAUTIFUL. The power & grace that Mother Nature possesses is just unreal. We had to wait in line for the Maid of the Mist but, with line jumpers, that was just great. Miss Anna, had left them a new asshole. I’m putting that nicely, but us Americans, 1 Brit & 1 Canadian don’t take shit from anyone. As Anna was ripping the new asshole, we were standing there just laughing our asses off. That should’ve went to Youtube but, another day or trip. Before the day ended there, we had gone to Dairy Queen for Sharon. She hadn’t ever had it so, just for her, we did. I had a Skor Blizzard, just divine, Sharon had chocolate dipped waffle cone with vanilla ice cream & Anna had a mixed waffle cone, & Shannon had a plain ice cream cone. DELICIOUS!!! We stopped my Mr. Horton’s had a nice cup of coffee and some fudge to go with it. Grabbed a cab to the train station & headed back to Toronto. & then the adventure continues. Stay tuned….

27 July Travelling Experience: The Border From Hell.

NordicStorm — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 03:41:40 +0000

At the border… This was fun, hauling all our hand luggage and baggage from underneath the coach walking into the Border Control Area Standing in line waiting for our turn to be looked down at like something they control people had walked on. Finally we get our turn and thankfully we are successful in getting passed and let through. We get back on the coach our stuff put in the underneath carriage…. and 2 hours later we are still sat there on the coach waiting for other passengers still to get clearance into Canada. Due to not having the correct papers!! How the hell can people travelling think they can get by without having the correct paperwork? Daylight appears the sun is rising and we are still sat there. Finally all passengers back on board and we are all cleared to hit the road.

We finally showed up to the Toronto coach station 3 hours later than originally scheduled due to some passengers not having the correct paperwork DOH! We are tired and running behind our schedule so we jumped into a taxi thinking it would be $10 CAD and finding out its only $5 CAD and the coach station was only a block away. We check in finding we are too early for our room so we freshen up and put our baggage in the secure locker area at the fancy hotel, and it was a nice hotel too. Then hit the road running for the Greyhound coach to Niagara Falls. Some of us decided to fall asleep and have a good old snore on the way LOL!!

Finally we arrive at the coach station and meet Shannon.

26 July Travelling Experience: Part 2

NordicStorm — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 03:26:00 +0000

Whilst on the bus, checking who is near us & around. Scenery changes every minute on the trip. Getting on the highway, it started on the road the rain & lightning have started. It poured for about an hour after that, I had to get up to use the NICE restroom (just nice & roomy). The field trip to get to the bathroom, is to step over a head of hair that needs to be cut desperatley. I accidently kicked her. She was not going to be moving anytime soon. Trying to sleep was a nightmare. I’ve been on trips before but, this is great. Sharon had gotten her runway lights up, I was helping her flag down the plane that was coming in for a landing. But we had it under control. Here come the leg cramps. Oh, Sharon had always wanted to a place kicker for the New York Giants. So she had her shot on the bus. As I, she made the team too. The same girl was kicked again. 1 point for me & 1 for Sharon. Anna who was sleeping so soundly was probably thinking what the hell am I going to do with these two? SO, while we stopped in Syracuse, Subway was great (no E or J trains, sorry). The poor man, was going to take 4 orders at one time but, some people just couldn’t have it their way & walked away. But, that breakfast was good. Just be warned, we are headed to the “Border from Hell.” To be continued…

26 July Travelling Experience: Part 1

NordicStorm — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 03:03:51 +0000

We all met at Jamaica Station sat down at Tim Hortons cafe and had an iced coffee before onward journey. New York was HOT really stifling HOT!!

We headed over to where we were to catch our coach to travel onwards to Toronto. We had and had pannini’s in a lovely little cafe and the guy serving us was listening in on our conversations. Eventually we headed over the road to the coach stop and oh what fun it was watching all the different characters walking by LOL!!! Finally our coach arrives. Like kids we rushed for the top deck, back seats LOL and the journey begins …
