Regatta remains another amazing AOR "Power Trio" band that really did not get to hit their full potential due to the inability of their label to sell and promote the material extensively before the "Grunge Revolution" of 1991. Winners of the Q107 Homegrown Band contest in 1987 with their single "Standing Alone" the band was off to a good start and eventually lead to a signing with BMG records. There first and only full length album made available in 1989; exceptional song writing, musicianship and production are all noteworthy in this release. Standout songs such as "This Is Love" and "Where Ever You Run" made their way to the mid 40's and 50's of the Canadian Top 100 singles charts in 1990, and the album topped at the mid 50's in 1990. Most unrecognized is the song "Where Ever You Run" charted to number 2 on the Canadian Content CANCON charts in April 1990. With so much potential by the time the music videos for both songs came out in 1991, the road for Regatta hit a dead end. Exceptional musicianship from Chris Smith (Chris Smith), Greg Critchey (Partland Brothers, Kim Mitchell, Rik Emmett), Matthew Gerrard (Von Groove, Lee Aaron, Wall Of Silence, Kelly Clarkson) all have an extensive resume of contributions in the music industry. Supported by other well written and produced tracks such as "Devils In Disguise", "Wild Girls" and "Matter Of Time" this album undeniably needs to be in your AOR music collection! A recommended release for any AOR music fan.
