Now, after years of consideration Kip Winger has decided to reunite Winger for a brand new album. This finally happened when he actually "heard" the musical path where he could "move the band sound forward, without repeating the same music over and over".
Kip therefore started at the beginning of 2006 to write new material with guitarist Reb Beach who "thought it would NEVER happen! But what we have worked on sounds really good and I have been so excited to be working with Kip on our own stuff again".
Kip and Reb called up original drummer Rod Morgenstein and John Roth (on guitar and vocals) and Cenk Eroglu (Xcarnation) On keyboards and sound FX and quickly started the recording session which, at this stage, are almost completed.
"The new Winger album" says Kip, "will start where Pull left off and will move forward to new directions mixing some classic Hard Rock like Van Halen and early Winger style, progressive and acoustic elements that may resemble Genesis, Mott The Hoople or King Crimson". Kip has also revealed some new song titles - Right Up Ahead, Blue Suede Shoes, Four Leaf Clover, M16 and has also confirmed that the album artwork will be handled by Ethan Van Sciver - a renowned comic book artist and penciller who has contributed (among others) to Cyberfrog, New X-Men, The Flash Iron Heights and Impulse.
Winger are currently working on touring plans in USA, Europe and Japan in support of the release of the album - a Frontiers Records world exclusive - scheduled for release in October 2006.
Frontiers Records President, Serafino Perugino commented: "We are particularly proud to announce this news. We have been working on this concept for years and when Kip opened his doors we have been enormously excited. We hope the fans can appreciate the work of these Hard Rock geniuses and enjoy some great new music".
