Frontiers Records<\/strong>\u00a0is pleased to announce the release of\u00a0JEFF SCOTT SOTO<\/strong>\u2019s fifth studio album \u201cDamage Control<\/strong>\u201d on March 23rd in Europe and March 27th in North America.<\/p>\n

Extraordinary performer and amazing vocalist throughout,\u00a0Jeff Scott Soto<\/strong>\u00a0blasts through these hard rocking tracks with energy and masters the transition smoothly from heavy rock to a delicate ballad. For his new album \u201cDamage Control<\/strong>\u201d, Jeff has turned to many of his past influences and most requested aspects of his career by blending the art of Melodic Rock with Hard Rock throughout.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel Damage Control is more of a return to what my fans would expect to hear from me. It\u2019s a perfect blend of my first two solo albums with Frontiers Records; Prism and Lost in the Translation, but also mixes in some of my favorite moments of my past bands such as Talisman and Soul SirkUS<\/em>\u201d tells Jeff. \u201cIt is heavy, AOR, hard rock with loads of great riffs and melodies<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDamage Control<\/strong>\u201d was recorded in the fall of 2011 and is completed with appearances and co-writing along with his former and current band mates together with many guests including Jamie Borger and Nalley P\u00e5hlsson (Treat), Casey Grillo (Kamelot), Joel Hoekstra (Night Ranger) and legendary Y&T founding member Dave Meniketti. Jeff recalls: \u201cY&T drummer Mike Vanderhule played drums on a track and suggested I bring Dave on but, as he is a long time friend and one on the \u2018wish list\u2019 of people I would have loved to have, I didn\u2019t want to get an excuse that he was too busy or not interested, to my surprise I got neither… he was willing to do it and I was not only grateful but beyond pleased to work with another musical hero!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

The album will be released in two exclusive configurations; the basic version in CD jewel box will include 11 songs, while the deluxe edition in digipak format has an additional 3 bonus tracks and a DVD. Full tracklisting: \u00a0CD: Give A Little More, Damage Control,\u00a0Look Inside Your Heart<\/a>, Die A Little, Take U Down*, If I Never Let Her Go, Tears That I Cry, BonaFide, Elena*, Krazy World, How To Love Again, AfterWorld, NeverEnding War, Afraid To Die*\u00a0* Bonus tracks only available on the Deluxe Edition.<\/p>\n

Jeff Scott Soto<\/strong>\u00a0is currently planning tour dates that will support the release of the new record: \u201cThe plan is to do as much touring as possible wherever the World will have me. I plan to promote this album with a proper touring regiment!<\/em>\u201d concludes Jeff. Get ready for \u201cDamage Control<\/strong>\u201d, it will rock your World!<\/p>\n
