    April Wine is an Canadian Band that had a huge stretch of hits in the 70's into the early 80's. They had hits like, I like to Rock and Looks like a lady and and many more. This could add to a Canadian Music Revival!!

    As a proud Canadian I love this band and have seen them 3 times in the late 70's early 80's. Rick Emmet is a guitar virtuoso and also has a great voice. I love this song and the many other hits they had. Always great uplifting lyrics and musicality. Canada has dozens of fantastic bands you should check out. The great white north has so many great bands that are overlooked!!!

    Woo! I literally jumped onto this 22 seconds after posted. GREAT band! Two lead singers although all the radio hits are sung by Rik Emmett (like Lay It On The Line). Magic Power, Fight The Good Fight, Hot Time In The City Tonight or with Gil Moore singing (and drumming): Allied Forces, Rock & Roll Machine, I Live For the Weekend are great ones to try. Hold On is their only top 40 hit.

    @amazingronaldo9656 4 года назад +60

    Rik Emmett, singer on that song and guitarist, really has a high voice and a strong high voice. And you are right that is his chest voice not a head voice hitting that high!! Even now in his 60s he really can still hit most of the high notes which is amazing as many singers lose the ability to hit high notes unless their natural singing voice is that high. Check him out live at Daryl's House from around 2015 singing the Triumph classic Magic Power! Well worth it. Gives me goosebumps watching it!
    If you like Triumph, try Never Surrender off the album of the same name. A World of Fantasy off the same album was a top single at the time and well worth a hear too. I also love Battle Cry off the same album! You might say Never Surrender is one of my favorite albums by them! :)
    As always love to hear your reactions and keep it up!

      @TehFrenchy29 4 года назад +6

      With good reason too -- not necessarily any better or worse than Rush, but much easier to "get into" especially with the hits. Even Rush's best known songs / biggest hits still feature a lot of dynamic changes, multiple time signatures, etc. Triumph are much more straight-ahead pop-rock/arena rock with just a hint of that prog goodness in there. I love them both though, and actually one of their "most Rush-like" songs at least among the hits is my favourite song they do ("Hold On").

    Try "Follow Your Heart" for a taste of the drummer taking on the lead vocals.
    Also, Never Surrender, Magic Power, Hold On, Fight the Good Fight, and of course, Say Goodbye. With Say Goodbye the song just before "Petite Etude" transitions well into the second song. Also good if you like acoustic guitar.

    For some more southern rock flair:

    This song was a real rocker in their early years. There is no Triumph 'sound" however because each album goes in a new direction. In my opinion the "Allied Forces " album is their best so try "Magic Power" or "Fight the Good Fight" which I think is their greatest masterpiece and really kicks ass but is mature at the same time.

      Sign of the Gypsy Queen, seriously would be in my top 20 list of songs to listen to if stuck on an island. 😂

    This dude was one of the FEW singers I couldn't hang with on the high notes in my younger days. Absolutely incredible!

    I remember when this first came out, still jam to it today. Triumph has made many albums and they are all a+. They rank in my opinion as one of the greatest bands ever. They don't make music this good anymore and its a shame.
