Ian Danter - Rule Of Three (SOUMCD025) CD

Brand new collection of original rock songs entitled from acclaimed Hard Rock songwriter, multi- instrumentalist and UK broadcaster Ian Danter

A follow up to 2015’s ‘Second Time Around’

Containing several co-writes with Ian’s long-time friend and former Shotgun Wedding bandmate Gray Ettrick with a number of special guests contributing play guitar solos.

The cast includes Wayward Sons’ Sam Wood and Chris Buck from Buck & Evans/Cardinal Black, as well as Ettrick himself and Ian’s guitar cohorts from his theatre rock project Leather And Lace - Jon Sudbury and Glenn Quinn. Quinn also co-wrote the epic ‘Generation Z’.

Songs like ‘One Over The Eight’ and ‘Route Of All Evil’ combine Ettrick’s punchy riffs with Ian’s inventive melodies and lyrics, while Ian himself wrote standout tracks such as ‘Pick A Side’ and the swirling, exquisite ballad ‘Landscapes’, while Ian’s long time best friend Keith Laurent supplies a fun tune in ‘I’ve Got A Problem’ that dates back to the band he and Ian formed as teenagers back in Birmingham during the mid 1980’s.

Ian Danter, a well-known football commentator on talkSPORT - and a regular Planet Rock presenter too, said of the album: “The inspiration for it came from revisiting some collaborations that Gray and I wrote in the 90s. He always has a stash of great riffs and listening to some of his recent ideas fired my imagination to compose new songs and dust down one or two old tracks that never got released.”
