SINISTER STREET - THE EVE OF INNOCENCE - 1992

This Dutch prog rock band was founded in the late Eighties, their second album "The Eve of Innocence" ('92) was received very well and sold more than 4000 copies. SINISTER STREET played a gig with Hogarth and Trewavas (from MARILLION) and was support act for JADIS. Then their label Progressive International went broke and in '97 the band dissolved. But in '99 they returned with three old and three new members: Olaf Blaauw (vocals), Peter van Leerdam and Erik van der Vlis (both keyboards), Roger Vingerhoets (bass), Frits Bonjernoor (drums) and Omar Niamut (guitar). In 2002 French progrock label Musea released their new album "Trust".

The album "The Eve of Innocence" was acclaimed worldwide because of the pleasant, neo-progressive sound, the good compositions and most music magazines praised Olaf Blaauw's vocals. The new album "Trust" is in the vein of their last CD: melodic and harmonic rock with the emphasis on the compositions and an important role by singer Olaf. Some tracks tend to sound like each other but SINISTER STREET delivers enough interesting moments (especially the title track) to please their fans. A promising return.
