Schlock-Wire: Canadian Power-Trio Triumph Will Unleash GREATEST HITS REMIXED CD/DVD Set In May
Here's some good news for hard-rock fans familiar with the old-school Canadian music scene: Triumph (Canada's other part-prog, part-heavy power trio) is releasing a new greatest hits sound package that has been remixed for modern ears by a veteran who has worked with their fellow countrymen, Rush. For those who don't know the group, Triumph offered a more straightforward, party-hearty version of the tricky arena rock that Geddy Lee and company were known for. They were mainstays of early MTV and recorded a few classic beloved to AOR fans (Allied Forces is the all-time classic). This deluxe package also includes a DVD and looks to be worthwhile for both old fans and new acquaintances.
