Nor'easter - Hard Rock Legacy Project

"Long ago in a galaxy far far away"… In the mid-1980s Nor'easter were like thousands of hungry hard rock bands, inspired by the new supernova of guitar-driven heavy metal led by Ozzy Osbourne and Iron Maiden. Based in Plainfield, Connecticut, a hotbed of musical talent and a backwater of opportunity, the quartet wrote and performed an album's worth of their own material over three years, influenced as much by Led Zeppelin and Rush as the metal scene. Like the vast majority of those bands across the country, their dreams eventually foundered on the realities of day jobs and responsibilities. But unlike most of them, two years after their last show the three founding members recorded their songs on a friend's 8-track reel to reel. 

Three decades of heartbreak and miracles later, their 11-song "Calm Before the Storm" album has arrived.
