If you're ready for a new sound, this is it. Brad Love, formerly of the progressive rock band Aviary has now released his newest solo project entitled "Through Another Door". He literally takes us through "another door" with his fresh and very distinct rock sound. He provides a unique vocal style and possesses a great vocal range. This CD is very well arranged and is sure to make everyone take notice. This is an impressive solo release. Good luck Brad! We Love it. - M.Rock

Brad Love was the lead vocalist for early 80's pomp rockers Aviary. The guys only ever released one album, but Brad has kept himself very busy over the years, working as a staff writer at Screen Gems, recording various demo's, came close to being singed to a major label again on more than one occasion and for nearly 8 years, wrote songs for various band's while living in LA.
His debut solo album was titled Colors and was released in the early 80's via MCA Records.
The last few years have seen Brad working with Song Haus Music on his new solo album, reviewed here today.
Through Another Door is Brad Love doing what he does best – writing and recording memorable pop/pomp rock songs with instantly memorable hook lines, but ultimately intelligent arrangements and thought provoking lyrics.
The style of the album dictates that it won't be for everyone, but anyone into intelligent pop or pomp rock with 70's and 80's vibes will find an irresistible charm to this record.
Try listening to the opening track Perfect World, Annie Annie, the super pompish ballad I Do or even the rocking Remember Me without getting hooked. Impossible!
Brad has a unique voice that takes in a little Freddy Mercury and a little Mark Spiro.
He soars between octaves with ease and plays most of the instruments on this album. Far too much talent!

Brad Love is the former lead singer of the progressive rock band Aviary, who recorded one major-label album back in the late 70's that mixed Queen/ELO vocal harmonies with tight instrumentation that fused influences from Kansas, Journey, Yes, Ambrosia, and Gentle Giant. On his new solo album, Love takes a more pop based approach, but the songs are all a catchy mix of commercial hard rock, soaring ballads, and some quirky progressive flourishes.

Tunes like the hard-hitting opener "Perfect Worlds" and "Annie Annie" are great melodic rock songs, with fluid guitar work from Jason Husbands and tasty piano from Love. His vocals have a hint of Freddie Mercury, a little Brian May, and a touch of Jeff Lynne, and are the highpoint of this CD. His soaring voice carries a ballad like "I Do" to another level, and with sparse instrumentation, he becomes the soloist. 'All Over Now" has a very 80's Chicago meets Ambrosia feel, with addictive melodies and a catchy chorus. Fans of vintage Queen will love "Remember Me", a song with lots of pomp and HUGE melodies, and certainly one of the strongest tracks here. Perhaps if Brian May and the boys heard this song they might consider putting the band back together with a new singer? Love shows off his keyboard chops on the brief instrumental "Techno Toccata", and adds some modern hard rock vocals on the muscular "Simple Answer", which also features some huge symphonic keyboard orchestrations.

With this CD, Brad Love shows the world that he is a skilled vocalist who knows how to write great hooks. If he decides to put together a solid band (or reform Aviary?) there is no doubt he could make a mark in the melodic rock or commercial prog world.
