VANDENBERG’S MOONKINGS will release their new acoustic album, entitled ‘Rugged and Unplugged’, on November 23rd via Mascot Records/Mascot Label Group. Today has been unleashed a lyric video for the song “Walk Away”, watch it below:

Adrian Vandenberg on Walk Away:
“Here is the rockballad ‘Walk Away’, one of my personal favourites from our acoustic album ‘Rugged and Unplugged’. We recorded it on a very dark, stormy night in the barn of Jan’s farm, the right vibe for a ballad like this. Just the two of us pouring our hearts out on this one, as ‘up close and personal’ as you can get… “

‘Rugged and Unplugged’ is a beautifully stripped back acoustic album which features songs from across Adrian Vandenberg’s career. From his first band Teaser as a 20 year old he has always used an acoustic guitar in his recordings, which along with the electric guitar creates the light and shade dynamic that is the cornerstone to all of his records.

“For me, the sign of whether a song is good or not, is whether it still stands up when it’s completely stripped down to the bare essence of it,” says Vandenberg. He continues, “What I find with acoustic versions of songs you already know, is that they can touch you in a different way than the full band and even orchestral versions. You don’t get ‘impressed’ by big guitars, drums and even orchestras. As a performer you can’t hide behind all that, so what’s left is the emotional content of the performance and the actual song.”
