"A
long lost AOR-star that has recently resurfaced is Charlie
Souza one-time bass player for pomp legends
FORTRESS.
I
say resurfaced, the fact is he's never been away! Having carved out
a successful career as a session musician, as well as releasing several
CDs, Charlies profile has never been higher. The one thing that will
appeal to all fans of Pomp Rock is the fact that Charlie has reissued
the legendary Fortress album, "Hands In The Till",
onto CD for the first time. This album really is a one-off all time
classic of it's type. Full of glorious up-tempo eighties pomp rock,
this 1980 release by Fortress is music from a bygone era when albums
like this were ten-fold, and often got overlooked - as was the case
with this album. Led by the golden-coated vocals of Jim West, the
Fortress brand of rock was well recieved by yours truly at its time
of release. Songs like "How Do I Exist", "Hands In
The Till", "Kisses", the Axe-like "Requiem"
and the utterly immense "Mystery" are still firm favourites
to this day. Their Axe meets Roadmaster style of pomp
was tailor made for the eighties, but still sounds fresh to this day.
