Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the signing of British melodic rock band Atlantic. With their classic sound, strong melodies and heartfelt songwriting, the band are ready to begin an exciting new chapter with Frontiers as they work on their next studio album.

The band commented: “We are very proud to say that we will be working with Frontiers Records on this album. They are a fantastic label and we are honoured to be with them. The new album will be released in 2026. Many thanks to Mario at Frontiers and their entire staff for making us feel welcome, and to Kevin Fetterplace at Mojo Management”.

Mario de Riso, A&R and Business Affairs VP at Frontiers, stated: “We’re thrilled to welcome Atlantic to the roster – a band that captures the classic spirit of British AOR with the kind of songwriting, hooks, and melodic class that still feels timeless. Their return is exactly what fans of the genre have been waiting for”.

Atlantic was founded by guitarist and songwriter Simon Harrison. Following on from his bands Stranger and Wisht, Simon wanted to make an album in his favoured AOR/Melodic rock genre. 

Heavily influenced by bands such as Whitesnake, Journey, Bad English, FM and Dare, he set about writing the songs that became the first Atlantic album entitled “Power”, released in
1994. It became a niche classic, selling hundreds of thousands of copies.

After a couple of decades working as a very successful ghost writer, producer and mix engineer, Simon met up with Mark Grimmett (Vocalist) and decided to reignite Atlantic.

In 2021, after sketching out the ideas for the new album, Simon and Mark got together with some other very talented musicians to form the current line-up, featuring Mark Grimmett (vocals), Simon Harrison (guitar), Nick Burr (guitar), Julian Hill (bass), Mark Peters (keyboards) and Eddie Marsh (drums).

Their latest album “Another World” was released in 2024, again to critical acclaim and success. The band are currently writing and recording a new album.
