One of the trademarks of Frontiers records is to bring some incredible musicians/session players together in a new project. For this time a new Melodic Rock trio TRW is on the move. TRW is formed by three incredible musicians/session players of the Rock and Pop scene: Michael Thompson, Mark Williamson and John Robinson. Each of these musicians has an impressive list of collaborations and credits, which includes recording with such megastar names of Pop such as Michael Jackson, Celine Dion, Steve Winwood, Phil Collins, Barbra Streisand to N’Sync, Christina Aguilera, Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Eric Clapton, etc. Michael Thompson released one highly regarded AOR album under the M.T.B. monicker, while Williamson and Robinson released a superb TOTO-flavored album as “Bridge 2 Far” in 1989. All three have released solo CD’s. Michael’s are titled, “The World According To MT” and “MT Speaks”. Mark’s is titled, “Time Slipping By” and JR’s is titled, “Funkshui”. The concept behind TRW is that John, Michael and Mark are true fans of classic rock and roll. John’s friendship with Thompson dates back to their years in the Berklee College of Music when they were in classes together. These two have so many things musically in common that it was destiny forming TRW. They played together in David Foster's All-Star band. Michael and John have been writing together for many years now and by added such a great singer/writer as Mark that it became magic. They have formulated their own style with comparisons to many rock bands such as Led Zeppelin, Bad Company, Journey and Toto. This new album/project is everything you could expect from these monster musicians: brilliant musicianship, immense songwriting, soaring vocals and rocking attitude! “One thing that we pride ourselves on is all our songs have melodies that everybody will remember”, concludes Robinson: “We all believe in great songs!” “Rivers of Paradise” is undoubtedly a true Melodic Rock classic in the making which should not be missed by anyone.
