Alliance

The new album - Fire and Grace

Alliance - Biography

It is possible, maybe even likely that only keen-eared archaeologists of rock and those driven to dig deeper into the record racks will know of the great melodic hard rock band, Alliance. It would be news to some that their near thirty-year collaboration has previously yielded five highly regarded albums and that their almost secretively rare live shows could be counted on a single hand. Their new release, Fire and Grace on Escape Music LTD., the first in several years following Bond of Union (1996), Alliance (1997), Missing Piece (1999), Destination Known (2007), and Road to Heaven (2008) marks their 6th offering. You would be wrong to assume that the semi-occasional nature of their efforts indicates a lack of commitment or waning passion.
For Fire and Grace, the core of the band remains the same with guitarist Gary Pihl (Boston), drummer Mr. David Lauser (Sammy Hagar) and bassist Robert Berry (3, GTR). The roots of their origin can be traced to Bill Graham’s place known as Wolfgang’s, in San Francisco. It was at Wolfgang’s that long time Sammy Hagar drummer David Lauser and keyboardist Jesse Harms were scouting for players while plotting their next moves after Hagar joined Van Halen. By chance, legendary Geffen Records A/R man John Kalodner had given Lauser demos from Robert Berry, a new artist being groomed by Geffen. Phone calls were exchanged, more demos were exchanged. Harms and Lauser traveled to Wolfgang’s to see Berry perform. Lauser liked what he saw, but things for everybody were about to get complicated. The forces of the Universe taking over. The new friends would have to wait for that first chance to play together as Harms hooked up with REO Speedwagon, Tom Scholz recruited Gary Pihl to join Boston, Berry was off to England to work with Steve Howe in GTR and later Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer. Mr. Lauser was immersed in recording with Hagar and other artists.

They kept in touch as destiny ran its course. Lauser, along with guitarist Gary Pihl still longed for the allusive missing pieces for the new project outside of their main gigs. Early in 1993, Berry received a call from Lauser. They agreed to try again and this time reached out to keyboardist Alan (Fitz) Fitzgerald. Fitz's band, Night Ranger had a shakeup and he too was eyeing something new. The timing was finally right. David, Gary, Robert, and Fitz gathered together at Hagar's studio in Mill Valley and worked through songs from their demos. According to a witness, “there was an immediate connection. Everybody in the room could feel it. The vibe was powerful and inspiring”. They immediately recognized the common thread that would feed their creativity.
So it all began in earnest. Initially, the new band recorded demos at Hagar's house and then at a studio in Boston. A signature style was beginning to emerge and the band was bonding even though they were spread geographically throughout the country, with Pihl in Boston, Fitz based in Texas, Lauser in Southern California and Berry in the heart Silicon Valley. They were then and remain committed to making their long-distance transcontinental sonic alliance work. Things were always complicated as Pihl was happily recording and touring with Boston, Fitz was touring with Van Halen, Lauser was always busy touring and recording with Hagar, and Berry, after completing an album and tour with Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer (in the band 3) was immersed as a producer for other artists as well as advancing his burgeoning solo career.
Over the years and still today Alliance continues to solidify and bolster their long distance collaborations. Though the scheduling remains challenging their passion and commitment remains energized. Their musical benchmark, perhaps a product of their high profile roles outside of Alliance, has always been pushed to the highest standard. And it’s clear that they always strive to surpass their previous release. Thus they have earned a loyal, patient and growing fan base over the years that are sure to enjoy and embrace the Fire and Grace.

More From Alliance

More music from the guys that brought you Fire and Grace.

Bond of Union The debut effort from a powerful aggregation of seasoned touring and studios aces. Bond of Union features 12 new songs that impressed my cynical colleagues and me. This one features a bonus track and is on the Japanese Zero Corp imprint, so buy it when you see it as rumor has it is challenging to find. Featured selection My My My, So All Alone, Sleepless Nights, This Is The World, Best Of Me and 7 more selections.

Alliance “Really good CD from a satisfyingly creative group of journeymen rockers. Think of them as an almost supergroup comprised of players you’ve heard on your radio for years but likely could not identify by name. Great sophomore effort from these guys. Featuring the unique voice, excellent musicianship all around and great songwriting of Robert Berry. Guitar slinger Gary Pihl stands out as he displays some serious chops perhaps topping confines of his nice work with Sammy Hagar and Boston. Also shinning is drummer David Lauser, and terrific keyboardist Fitz, of Montrose, Gamma, Nightranger fame is fantastic beyond words. This album in your collection and in heavy rotation”. – Michael Gordon, Inside Your Radio

Missing Piece "Alliance is a very good melodic hard rock band with some very talented members. Robert Berry sounds even better here. Vocals hit just the right balance between soulful & powerful,reminded me of John Waite in the Bad English days! Musicianship is solid as well, - ...big guitar hooks, prominent keyboards that are required for this kind of music. "I'd Give Anything" and "Call of the Wild" would have been top 40 singles...,"Young Blood would have been a hit in the early 80's, isn't a weak moment on the whole album".
Missing Piece is a throwback to the classic 80's AOR sound. Anyone who loves Journey, Foreigner, the Babys, et al should enjoy this album immensely". - Discogs.com Review

Destination Known "If you are a fan of good straight-ahead rock n' roll you need to buy this. This band is composed of artists who have years of experience in the music world and their music really shines because of that. This album contains every song they ever recorded across their first three albums (Bond of Union, Alliance, and Missing Piece). The songs are memorable, thought-provoking and emotional. At other times they're just great tunes that can totally make your day, and make you wish these guys would go out on tour." - Amazon Review

Road to Heaven "Alliance's album Road to Heaven is amazing! I was instantly hooked from the first notes of the title track. I would even go so far as to rank this as one of my favorite albums of all time. Everything from this band has been pure gold, which is not at all surprising given the band members. This band is composed of four extremely talented musicians, who have more talent per man than any current artists you'll hear on the radio". - Amazon comment

Central Coast Rock interviews Gary & David: Alliance & more
To celebrate the release of Alliance’s new CD Fire & Grace we asked guitarist Gary Pihl and Drummer David Lauser a round of questions First off tell us how you discovered Music. Was there a certain personality or event that inspired you to start playing?

Gary Pihl: I always liked the sound of electric guitars. It started with Duane Eddy and The Ventures. When I was in a band in high school in California, the other guitarist said there was a great guitar teacher in the next town and that we should all take lessons from him. We started lessons and saw his band, The Warlocks, play at a local pizza parlor. He stopped giving lessons when his band changed their name to The Grateful Dead. That was Jerry Garcia giving us lessons.

David Lauser: Seeing the Beatles on Ed Sullivan…I had no aspirations of becoming a musician but that really got my attention. Oddly enough, I became a drummer by accident, as a friend gave me a pair of drum sticks when I was 14 years old…I began beating on any surface available to my favorite records….the rest is history.

BOSTON AND BEYOND: A CONVERSATION WITH GARY PIHL
Regardless of what each project calls for, his professional and passionate approach to the music is what makes every collaboration worth listening to. I had the opportunity to speak with Pihl recently about his career and what fans can expect when they dive into the long-awaited new album from Alliance.

Music n Other Drugs: How did the idea for Alliance initially come about?

Pihl: Well, I had played in Sammy Hagar’s band for eight years and became really close with David Lauser and Alan Fitzgerald. Sammy came to us and said that he received an offer he couldn’t refuse from Van Halen, but he added that we were a great band and should continue on with something different. We had opened for Boston with Sammy in ’77, ’78, and into ’79, so I became friendly with Tom Scholz. Tom called me and asked if I wanted to come play on the last song of 1986’s “Third Stage,” which I did. I thought I would just help them finish the album and that would be it, but I ended up joining the band full-time, and, 30-something years later, here I am still in the band. After “Third Stage” was finished, Tom said that it would take a few years to make the next Boston album, so Alliance came together when David, Alan, and I started working with Robert Berry, and everything just clicked. We actually jammed together in Sammy’s home studio and it sounded great. Robert had also played with Sammy in Los Tres Gusanos in 1996 and 1998, so we were .....

viriAOR Review of Alliance's “Fire & Grace”
Algo habremos hecho mal en el mundo del rock melódico cuando siendo una de las variantes globales más satisfactoria de escuchar, vende tan poco en términos generales. Existen cientos de ejemplos en los que músicos venidos desde las galaxias más lejanas del mundo de la música, se afanan por sacar al menos una vez a lo largo de su carrera algún disco de AOR o sinónimos parecidos. Desde Roger Daltrey hasta componentes de ABBA, desde el guitarrista de Nightwish, hasta los componentes de The Magnificent que nada tienen que ver con ese sonido y sacan uno de los mejores discos melódicos de los últimos 20 años. El guitarrista de Duran Duran, no sé, ejemplos hay tantos que seguro que tú conoces 100 más. Y sin embargo, existe un cierto clima acerca de este estilo musical en el que parece no importar a nadie. Algo hemos hecho mal… en los conciertos de grupos melódicos en España van cuatro gatos, mientras las entradas para Metallica o AC&DC se agotan los ...

GARY PIHL GUITARIST WITH CLASSIC ROCK LEGENDS 'BOSTON' RELEASES NEW ALBUM WITH 'ALLIANCE' EXCLUSIVE
Pihl’s first big break in came in 1977, when he joined Sammy Hagar’s band, where he toured and recorded for 8 years. Gary met Tom Scholz when Hagar was opening for BOSTON between ’77 and ’79. In 1985, Sammy joined Van Halen, however, Pihl didn’t miss a beat. He explains, “Tom called me up when he was working on the Third Stage album, he had one more song left to be recorded and asked me if I’d come out to work with him on it. As it turned out, I flew directly from Farm Aid (my last gig with Hagar) to Boston, so I wasn’t out of work for a day. I thought, how lucky could a guy get?” Alliance is one of the best melodic hard rock bands you’ve probably never heard of even though the band has collaborated together for nearly 30 years and counting. ...

JP's Music Blog: "I'll Have Some Of That" is pure gold, highlighted by Pihl's stellar solo"
The trio of guitarist Gary Pihl (Boston), drummer David Lauser (Sammy Hagar) and vocalist/bassist Robert Berry (Greg Kihn Band) have finally regrouped for a new Alliance album. The new release titled "Fire And Grace" features a dozen new tracks. It will be the trio's first album in over a decade, as a renewed sense of energy flows through their new songs. The album kicks off with the sonic blast of "The Wheel Keeps On Turning" and the up-tempo rhythm-fueled rocker "Good Life." They display a more progressive rock approach to "Uncertain," while "I'll Have Some Of That" is pure gold, highlighted by Pihl's stellar solo and Berry's strong vocal delivery. Alliance showcase their more pop/rock oriented sound with the radio-built anthem "Time," that just grabs your attention and keeps you focused from start to finish. They wrap up their new album with the intense, hard rock assault of "Reason" and the power ballad "The Same." Alliance released their new album "Fire And Grace" back in May.

David Lauser Interview; Talks Sammy Hagar and New Alliance Album with North Coast Music Beat"
GD: This is the sixth record for the band but the first one since 2008’s Road to Heaven. Was it just a timing issue to get everyone together or was this the right time to release new music?

DL: Combination. All of our records have been with Escape Records which is out of Europe. Here’s the tricky thing, we’ve been working on this record since 2010. As far as the making of the record goes, some of it was jammed right on the spot, like “Fire And Grace.” Others were piecemeal. Sammy got busy with The Circle, my wife passed away in 2016 and I kinda laid low. Robert was working with another band and Gary was with Boston and they were touring a lot. We booked some time and worked things out. Even though things ...

Metal Temple Review - Alliance - Fire and Grace

This trio has members that worked on famous names as GTR, 3, BOSTON, and Sammy Hagar, between others, so these guys know the way to create a very good set of songs. And “Fire and Grace” is filled with excellent accessible melodies, amazing instrumental and vocal parts, with everything working as it must. The technical level is not exaggerated, using sobriety as a strong basis. And their music is that old and good form of Melodic Hard Rock/AOR that can conquer the listeners easily. Yes, the same old formula, but using a personal insight.

The songs of “Fire and Grace” are all with a very good audio quality. Everything can be heard and understood without problems, but in some parts, the musical weight becomes evident (as can be heard on “I’ll Have Some of That”), so everything went well on the studio. Their secret resides on the organic set of tunes used for each musical instrument.

All the songs of the album are great, but “Don’t Stop the Wheel Turning” with its charming melodies (and guitars), the accessible energy with its Pop Rock appeal (especially during the chorus) of “Good Life”, the nasty silky touch of “I’ll Have Some of That” and of “Fire and Grace”, the charming Pop keyboards and guitars arrangements of “Time”, the catchy ambiance of “Reason to Walk Away” (if you stay stopped during it, you’re not alive), the sad bluesy touch on “Change of Heart”, and the mix between some aggressive subjective touch with very good harmonies of “You Are the Heroes” (very good work from bass guitar and drums) are the arrows that will pierce into the listeners’ hearts.

Alliance - Fire & Grace

Alliance werd in 1991 opgericht door voormalig Sammy Hagar-bandmaatjes David Lauser (drums) en Gary Pihl (gitaar), en Night Ranger-/Gamma-toetsenist Alan ‘Fitz’ Fitzgerald, die in Robert Berry de juiste aanvulling vonden voor hun project. Inmiddels is dat project toch een band gebleken, zij het eentje die op een laag pitje opereert, want elf jaar na het laatste wapenfeit Road To Heaven is hier dan de onverwachte opvolger, het vijfde album van dit gezelschap. De tijd lijkt te hebben stilgestaan, want de muziek van de heren klinkt niet veel anders dan die uit de jaren negentig. Berry’s stem is nog heel redelijk maar zeker niet beter dan twintig jaar geleden.

Natuurlijk kunnen deze heren musiceren, maar dertien nummers in 47 minuten geeft al aan in welke richting je moet zoeken: korte nummertjes met duidelijke kop en staart en in het algemeen pakkende maar weinig originele refreintjes. Aan de opening en sommige tussenstukjes hoor je beperkt dat er meer potentie in progressieve richting in zou zitten, maar de hoofdmoot is helaas ‘slechts’ zeer toegankelijke AOR. Was 3:2 zeker in het eerste deel voor mij een lichtpunt in de hedendaagse releases, dit album ontstijgt, met alle respect voor deze drie heren, amper de grauwe middenmoot, wellicht mede doordat toetsenist Fitz niet meedoet, want Berry speelt naast bas ook alle toetsenpartijen. Enige positieve uitzondering is de verhoudingsgewijs lange openingstrack Uncertain die een mooi intro, leuke tempowisselingen en een gezonde dosis overtuiging kent.

Goldmine's Warren Kurtz spoke with Gary Pihl about Alliance’s new album

GOLDMINE: Thank you for all your music over the years… enjoying the new music from the Fire and Grace album. The song “Uncertain” is dramatic and filled with Robert’s keyboards.

GARY PIHL: Most of the songs were written by Robert or at least co-written by him with Dave, me or both of us. This one is written entirely by Robert. I am very pleased with all the songs. It has been a long time coming. We have been working on them, on and off, for the last six or so years, whenever we had a chance to get together to jam on some ideas. It wasn’t until this last year that we said that I was not on the road and neither were Dave or Robert, so we should get together and finish the album. We had established our Alliance sound on previous albums and I think we took a lot of chances on this album with styles that people may not be expecting. So, the songs are a little different, one way or another. I tried to approach the guitar a different way with different solos with a wah-wah or slide and on one song I played....

ROCK ON! This Week's Sound Bites with Danny Coleman

...one of the first gigs we did was to open up for Boston at the end of their first tour. They liked us and we liked them and they asked us to open for their entire second tour so that's what we did all around the country in 1978 and 1979. Fast forward to 1985 and Sammy gets the call to join Van Halen and Tom Scholz from Boston calls me and says, "Hey Gary I heard you're out of a gig. I've got one more song to be recorded for our third album; will you come back here and work with me on it?" "So I said absolutely, you're one of my favorite bands and I'm out of work. So I flew directly from my last gig with Sammy which was "Farm Aid" out in Champagne, Illinois to Boston to start working with Tom. After a couple of weeks, Tom said, "Hey I think we work pretty well together ; why don't you move back here? We'll finish the album and go on tour and see what happens," and ....

House of Prog - Alliance: Fire and Grace

Here we have three guys who have been in the scene long enough to really know their way around, and have absolutely nothing to prove to anyone, so can go out and have a blast and that is exactly what they did here. It sounds like a full band having fun in the studio, ...

This [ Alliance: Fire and Grace] is sheer class and fun from start to finish. It is polished, but not to excess, while there are hooks all over the place, as one would expect from three musicians who have been at the top of the game for so very long. It is hard to pick a favourite so I’m not going to bother. If you enjoy American melodic commercial rock then this is essential, nothing less.

From MISPLACED STRAWS, Jeff Gaudiosi's Conversation with Gary Pihl

(My band) heard that Sammy had just left Montrose and we somehow got this phone number call him up and he said "well, thanks, yeah I don't want to join a band. I've got some guys I'm working out and I'm putting my own band together. But maybe I could do some shows with you guys" and so he actually opened up some club dates for us there in the San Francisco area so we we got to know him a little bit. Our manager told me "why don't you just go play guitar in Sammy's band instead of him joining us" and I said "well he's been through a half a dozen guitar players, so he'll have me for a couple weeks and kick me out, what's the point?" And he said "well give him a call" and so I called up and he said "Pihl, are you into drugs?" I said "No, why would you ask" and he said "Well because the last guitar player....

InFocus Vision's Fredda Gordon Chats with Gary Pihl

Fredda Gordon: You’ve worked with Boston for a long time with huge success and so many hits. Is it hard to carve a space out for yourself separate from that?

Gary: That’s why I’m doing this other project Alliance. You probably know some of my history. I joined Sammy Hagar’s band in ’77. Then when Sammy got the call from Van Halen in ’85, I got the call from Tom Scholz to work on the Third Stage album and then that tour, and then after that tour was over Tom came to the band and said “Now, its going to take a few years to work on the next Boston album so if anybody has any solo projects you want to do, now is the time to do it.”

That’s when I called my old buddies from Sammy’s band, Dave Lauser on drums and Alan Fitzgerald on keys. Geffen Records had tried to introduce us to Robert Berry when Sammy was about to leave for Van Halen. Sammy had always said “Geez, you guys are a great band, you need some other singer. Plug him in and keep going.” To that end, Geffen had put us in touch with Robert, but I got the call from Boston so had to leave and we kind of went our separate ways at that point. When Tom said “go ahead, do whatever you want,” I thought that was my opportunity to .....
