BANGALORE CHOIR have released a video for their new single “I Never Meant To” from the album Rapid Fire Succession: On Target Part II on BraveWords Records. The video was created by Andy Susemihl.
David Reece talked about the new single, “This song musically was written by Mario Percudani and myself, I wrote the lyric. The idea lyrically comes from a divorce where the children are forced to take sides between parents, which sadly happens more often than people think. The song is about healing and rebuilding relationships, taking ownership of failures and working towards what’s most important. Love and forgiveness.”

The first single, ‘Bullet Train’, recently hit #1 for six weeks on the 97Underground.com radio playlist as well as being in medium rotation on the legendary KNAC FM. Today, Bangalore Choir release a live video for ‘Bullet Train’, that was filmed on their recent European tour with Girlschool and label-mates Alcatrazz.
David Reece took a moment to talk about the response to the new album: “What can I say but thank you! The response from everyone has been incredible and it’s hard to put into words the feeling to be honest. Also I would like to thank media and radio for embracing our record it’s been truly incredible! Lastly I want to mention the tour Bangalore Choir was honored to be a part of with Alcatraz and Girlschool. Many of you know we perform classics from On Target, but this time around we were fortunate to be able to showcase many songs from Rapid Fire Succession: On Target Part II and amazingly seeing and hearing people singing along to ‘Bullet Train’, ‘Driver’s Seat’ and many others was truly inspiring! We can’t thank you all enough for raising the roof! I look forward to seeing and hearing you all again in 2026!”

About DAVID REECE: American singer David Reece first came to international prominence in the hard rock community joining Accept in 1987, replacing the iconic Udo Dirkschneider. With Accept he released the “Eat The Heat” album in 1989, a record that while somewhat divisive within Accepts more die-hard European fanbase, has no shortage of acclaim in equal measure from the wider hard rock and AOR community. David’s voice was a perfect fit for both the more streamlined American heavy rock direction the band wanted to pursue at the time and the Heavy Metal stylings that are still found in great abundance on the record. Thus, songs like Generation Clash and XTC fast became staples of late 80’s rock radio and fan favorites to the present day.
After departing Accept in 1990 David wasted no time in forming Bangalore Choir, a band that would showcase his immense vocal talents combined with first rate songwriting. Released via Giant Records in 1992, the bands debut album “On Target” has become an album held dear to lovers of melodic heavy rock the world over. Timing being everything, sadly the change of radio programming toward the then emerging Grunge movement halted a very promising young band from making the global impact it very well might have had if the album had arrived some years earlier.
David has gone on since to front many bands such as Bonfire, Wicked Sensation, EZ Livin’ and more recently Iron Allies, but he has always felt there was unfinished business with Bangalore Choir, revisiting the project with the occasional release….which brings us right up to date, the latest Bangalore Choir album … Its title a guarded secret at this stage. Needless to say, if you wanted more of what you loved about “On Target” this one will truly hit the mark.
Bangalore Choir have released their new RAPID FIRE SUCCESSION: On Target Part II on BraveWords Records. MetalTalk describes the new album, “Revives the spirit on ‘92, grunge be damned.” Vinylestimes on the album, “…the album confirms that David Reece remains one of the greatest singers of melodic hard rock, and that Bangalore Choir still has its place in the foreground.”
The first single “Bullet Train” from the album recently hit #1 for six weeks on the 97Underground.com radio playlist, while the second single “Driver’s Seat” also broke into the 97 Underground top 10 at #6.
David Reece, “Greetings brothers and sisters well October 24 is here and the new Bangalore Choir album RAPID FIRE SUCCESSION: On Target Part II is here! The response with media and radio have been amazing and I cannot wait to unleash this record to the world! Also coinciding with the release Bangalore Choir will begin touring in France on October 29 headlining and then November 25 we join up on tour with the mighty Alcatrazz and Girlschool into December around Europe. Also for all the American fans, tour dates are being scheduled for early 2026! To get a taste of the new Bangalore Choir album go to all your streaming platforms and YouTube and crank the album!”
