Final Frontier

Combining the talents of Canadian vocalist Rob Moratti and countryman guitarist Mladen (of Von Groove fame), Final Frontier is essentially a paean to all of the bygone AOR rockers from years past. Featuring all of the sugary sweet melodies and fiery guitar solos that were the hallmark of the genre, they pay tribute to bands like Journey, Styx, Foreigner, and the rest of their brethren. Final Frontier is one of the very best AOR acts today. If you loved the music Journey made in the 80s then you will like this band, although I want to stress that they are no copycats.
