NEWS: Frontiers Music Announce Signing Of AOR Band TRANSATLANTIC RADIO

Frontiers Music Srl is thrilled to announce the signing of Transatlantic Radio, an international AOR band that emerged during the global shutdown of 2020.

Founded by Los Angeles-based Swedish bassist Victor Brodén, the band embodies the quintessential melodic rock sound reminiscent of the genre’s golden era.

The label is excited to partner with the band to bring their authentic AOR sound to audiences worldwide. Fans can anticipate the release of their debut album later this year.

“A constant presence with good energy and encouragement”

Victor Brodén commented on the signing: “We couldn’t be more excited and honored to be working with Frontiers. The great bands who were part of establishing AOR as a major force years ago are on this label, as well as many of our more recent favourite bands in the genre. During the long process of making this debut album, Frontiers has been a constant presence with good energy and encouragement. We can’t wait to release this album, and we hope the fans love the songs as much as we do and as much as the great people at Frontiers do”.

Mario de Riso, A&R and Business Affairs VP at Frontiers, added: “We are always on the lookout for fresh talent in the AOR/Melodic Rock genre at Frontiers and with Transatlantic Radio, we are thrilled to welcome a band that we believe is a true contender for greatness in the years to come”.

Brodén, with a career backing multi-platinum artists such as Richard Marx, LeAnn Rimes, and Dokken, seized the opportunity during the pause in touring to craft songs that serve as musical comfort food during uncertain times.

To bring his vision to life, he reunited with University of Miami classmates guitarist R.J. Ronquillo and keyboardist Fred Kron. Their collaboration led to the formation of Transatlantic Radio.

Keyboardist Fred Kron, a film and television composer whose work has been featured in productions such as Anchorman 2, High School Musical 2, and 90210, has performed with legends such as Ringo Starr, Michelle Branch, and Joe Bonamassa. In addition to his role in Transatlantic Radio, Kron is a regular presence in the house band on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.

Guitarist R.J. Ronquillo brings experience from performing with artists like Ricky Martin, Stevie Wonder, and Stone Sour. Known for his influential YouTube guitar channel, Ronquillo’s acquisition of a vintage ‘80s Rockman effects unit propels Transatlantic Radio’s sound into classic AOR territory.

Drummer Chris Reeve, originally from Australia, began his U.S. career with the rock band Filter. Currently drumming for Avril Lavigne and Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, Reeve’s dynamic rhythms provide a solid foundation for Transatlantic Radio’s music.

To enhance the band’s international flair, Brodén enlisted fellow Swede Mattias Osbäck. A prominent figure in southern Sweden’s rock scene and a high-ranking officer in the Swedish Navy, Osbäck contributes powerful vocals and co-writing expertise to the ensemble.
