The LATER SONS are on a time travel through decades of rock and AOR from the eighties to today. They deliver songs with lots of hit potential and fine hook lines which do not sound dusty or old-fashioned. Actually, they sound exciting throughout the record. The compositions on ‘Rise Up’ meet a contemporary production and mix. Authentic sounds by authentic players and lovers of the rock genre. Experienced artists who know their business. Founding members are the former LIONCAGE musicians Thorsten Bertermann (v) and Torsten Landsberger (dr) who ignited the flame in late 2019 after the split of LIONCAGE.

Outstanding, overlooked relase from Face To Face, worthy of their legacy. Far superior to the massive letdown that was/is Three Chords And A Half Truth. "Staring Back" and "Persona Non Grata" are bonus tracks exclusive to the German release. It's interesting to look back and think about the bands that influenced your musical tastes. I grew up on a steady diet of everything from Guns N' Roses to Run DMC to Black Flag. Eventually I started to lean towards the "grunge" movement of the early '90s, and from the likes of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Mudhoney and plethora of others, expanded to punk rock. Bad Religion, Rancid and NOFX were staples of the time, but I've always felt that Face to Face was the band that I not only "discovered" on my own, but ultimately most identified with. I picked up a copy of Big Choice after reading about in a magazine, and was instantly hooked. My fandom undoubtedly peaked during the release of their self-titled LP, which to this day I consider to be the soundtrack of my high school years.
