The Big Deal - "Rock The Night" (Europe cover)

I've gone through changes
I've gone through pain
But there's not enough reason
For me to go insane
I know the feeling, when it grows
I'm in a rage up
From my head down to my toes.

You know it ain't easy
Running out of thrills
You know it ain't easy
When you don't know what you want.

Rock now, rock the night
'Til early in the morning light
Rock now, rock the night
You'd better believe it's right.

Το "Rock the Night" είναι τραγούδι των Europe. Πρόκειται για δημιουργία του Joey Tempest, ο οποίος το συνέθεσε το 1984. Υπάρχουν δύο εκδοχές του τραγουδιού. Την πρώτη την βρίσκουμε στο soundtrack της Σουηδικής ταινίας "On the Loose" και κυκλοφόρησε ως single το 1985 (με τον ύμνο "Seven Doors Hotel" στην δεύτερη πλευρά του βινυλίου) και η δεύτερη είναι εκείνη του δίσκου "The Final Countdown" ("βγήκε" και αυτόνομα ως single).

Η πρώτη version είναι πιο "μεταλλική", η δεύτερη πιο "καλογυαλισμένη". Οι The Big Deal μας έρχονται από την Σερβία. Νέο hard rock συγκρότημα, το οποίο εργάζεται πάνω στο ντεμπούτο του που θα κυκλοφορήσει από την δισκογραφική εταιρεία Frontiers Records. Στο μεσοδιάστημα μας παρουσιάζουν το βίντεο με την δική τους εκδοχή στο τραγούδι "Rock The Night"...

Δελτίο τύπου: «A few weeks ago we announced the signing of Serbian melodic hard rockers The Big Deal to the label. The band is currently hard at work on their label debut, but in the meantime, they took some time out to do a cover of Europe's 'Rock The Night'.

Enjoy this preview of the band's musical talents and be on the lookout for original material coming up in 2022! The band first came together when guitarist, composer, and producer Srdjan Brankovic and his wife Nevena Brankovic, who is an academic pianist and singer, met singer Ana Nikolic.

Ana had spent the past few years fronting local bands, but after meeting Srdjan and Nevena, they started collaborating in the studio together. While working on some new ideas, Srdjan thought how interesting it would be to include Ana's vocals in addition to Nevena's in their recordings.

After a couple of recordings were finished, they were overjoyed with the results and thus some of their first demos were born. These were the forerunners of the music that was presented to Frontiers and gained them a deal. The lineup for the band was then completed with the addition of drummer Marko Milojevic.

Both Srdjan and Marko are members of the most successful Serbian progressive metal band, Alogia. Throughout his career, Srdjan has played on many festivals and tours, recorded and collaborated on countless studio and live albums, and opened for some well-known bands such as Whitesnake, Ian Paice, Apocalyptica, Savatage, and more.

He was also a member of Michael Matijevic's live band in Bulgaria. On his “Expedition Delta” and “Alogia” albums, he collaborated with names such as Tim 'Ripper' Owens, Mark Boals, Erik Norlander, Gary Wehrkamp, Fabio Lione, and Hansi Kursch, among others.»
