Announcement from Punky Meadows and Frank DiMino
HAPPY NEW YEAR! We have some Exciting news to share...
Having our own solo projects and performing on each other’s records led to a natural progression to assemble the side project, “Punky Meadows & Frank DiMino of Angel”. This led to a very successful 2018 Tour. The great chemistry we experienced has led us to our next journey of writing and performing together and to enter the New Year as “ANGEL“ featuring Punky Meadows and Frank DiMino.
The band consisting of Punky, Frank, Danny, Charlie, Billy & Steve will return wearing white & performing a full ANGEL set.
We will be recording a brand new album and begin touring April, 2019. We are very Excited to announce that “STARZ” will be joining us for many shows!!!
Looking forward to Rocking with all of you in 2019!

Rock Legends ANGEL Sign Deal With CLEOPATRA RECORDS
Legendary rock band ANGEL has signed a deal with Cleopatra Records. Original members Punky Meadows and Frank DiMino, along with current member Danny Farrow (rhythm guitar), have written 14 brand new songs for the album, which they will begin recording in April. The tracks are described in a press release as "very diverse, ranging from songs that are very melodic with real strong hooks to much heavier songs that contain great melodies and will have the classic ANGEL sound." The press release adds: "This album will appeal to all ANGEL fans of every era and previous albums."
Meadows said: "I am real excited to be making a new album and signing with Cleopatra. I strongly believe this will be one of our best and really want to give ANGEL fans something special. Can't wait to rock you on tour at a city near you."
Added DiMino: "Writing and recording a new ANGEL record is always exciting, and having a new partnership with Cleopatra Records makes it even more special. Really looking forward to a new tour, a new record, and a new partnership."
Farrow said: "Punky and Frank are sounding incredible. The songs are coming together really amazing and I can't stop singing them. There will be something on this new album for every ANGEL fan and more."
Rounding out ANGEL FEATURING PUNKY MEADOWS AND FRANK DIMINO's current lineup are Charlie Calv (keyboards), Steve Ojane (bass) and Billy Orrico (drums).
ANGEL will kick off a U.S. tour on April 11, with European shows to follow in August.

It's been quite a revival for one of the 70's most under rated rock bands, I never thought I would see any of these guys in my lifetime and now I am seeing them twice in April. One date in NJ and the other in NYC's Iridium Club! That is amazing.

It’s great, a fantastic way to Immediately get into all things ANGEL. They just finished a tour of the USA and will tour Europe later this year (and be on the Rock Legends Cruise next February).

I only have the White Hot album. I am considering getting this. Based on yer recommendation, I just might.

First preview track, “Under The Gun”:
A decent rocker that falls somewhere between “On Earth/ White Hot” era Angel and Punky/ Frank’s recent solo album material. Converted the YouTube video to an mp3 audio file and cranked it up full blast on the home system. Judging from that alone, the production sounds very good- maybe a bit less polished than back in the “big budget” studio days, but clear and not over-compressed. Punky and Frank sound great, and musically you can tell the whole band has gotten very tight over the past couple years of touring. My one nitpick is that keyboard melody in the chorus (an unnecessary layer of cheese)- the synth strings in the rest of the song were fine as is.
Overall it’s fine for a first taste and doesn’t dim my enthusiasm for wanting to hear the whole album at all. The guys have said there’s material that covers all Angel eras, and there’s 15 new songs total- I’m hoping there will be plenty I’ll like even more.
