Transatlantic Radio launches the cinematic new single “City Of Angels” today as a high-speed preview of the debut album ‘Midnight Transmission’ arriving February 20 via Frontiers Music Srl. This international collective functions as a well-oiled machine under the direction of Swedish bassist Victor Broden who assembled a lineup featuring R.J. Ronquillo and Chris Reeve. The track serves as a sonic tribute to the dreamers of Los Angeles and hits with the kind of massive hooks that defined the golden era of melodic rock. Keyboardist Fred Kron brings a heavy dose of atmosphere to the arrangement while Mattias Osbäck delivers a vocal performance with a raw and necessary edge.
The project started in the quiet of the 2020 lockdown and grew into a powerful unit that bridges the gap between European melodies and American grit. This record avoids the traps of simple nostalgia by fusing polished 80s influences with a sharp and contemporary production style. The band proved their worth as a visceral live entity at the Malmo Melodic Festival and continues that momentum through these ten new tracks. This song is a glorious anthem to blast on a long road trip. It brings a fresh urgency to the genre and proves that the spirit of arena rock is still very much in the driver’s seat for 2026.
