Following the release of “Not Your Dog“, Sandness continues building momentum toward their upcoming album “Vertigo” with the brand-new single “Draw The Line”, now available on all digital platforms.

Direct and melodic, “Draw The Line” reveals a more emotional and introspective side of the band, blending hard rock energy with strong ’80s AOR influences. Inspired by a personal turning point, the lyrics speak about the strength to start over and view life from a new perspective. With catchy riffs, big choruses, and polished production, Sandness delivers a song that showcases their growth while staying true to their roots.

Featured on the tracklist of “Vertigo”, “Draw The Line” perfectly represents the spirit of the album: a record born in a time of transition that pushed the band to rethink their creative process. Recorded and produced by Alessandro Del Vecchio at Ivorytears Music Works Recording Studio (Italy), the album blends modern and vintage rock sounds, combining radio-friendly immediacy with arena-sized impact.

With over fifteen years of experience, Sandness have carved out their place in the European hard rock scene with a signature sound that mixes hard rock, power pop and classic metal, winning over fans of UFO, D-A-D, The Darkness and Y&T. Despite being a power trio, their live shows are explosive and full of energy, as proven by past performances alongside Lita Ford, Nazareth and Tygers Of Pan Tang.

“Draw The Line” is further proof of Sandness’ artistic evolution—a single that hits with its energy and emotional depth, offering a taste of what promises to be a powerful and multifaceted album.

Italian classic 80’s hair metal inspired band SANDNESS will be releasing their fourth studio album entitled “Play The Part” this coming May 2022 via Rockshots Records. The album follows their two previous released records on Rockshots Records, 2020 EP “Enter Please (2020) and 2019 LP “Untamed”.

The new album is produced, mixed and mastered by Michele Guaitoli and features twelve original tracks including a bonus cover version of KISS’ “Turn On The Night”. The lyrics written for the full length give an insight to how the band kept themselves busy and entertained during the first lockdown in the spring of 2020.

The band comments:
““Play Your Part” is a different kind of animal from our previous releases, due to the lockdown, we had more time to think and work on the songs. We also worked a lot more with our producer Michele, who helped us bring our music to the next level. The new album is more mature and inspired by different styles: hard rock, classic rock, heavy metal, 70’s rock n’ roll, but also pop music from different decades. Overall, we want people to feel good when they listen to our songs. We feel our music brings you to a dimension where everything is solvable with some dance moves or some headbanging. Give you the bright side of things to escape the difficult times.”

Today, SANDNESS shares the first single off the full length. Entitled “High Tide”, the record’s opening track is heavily influenced by the rock gods of the 70’s. Producer Michele Guaitoli came up with the idea to add rock piano on the track, which gives it an Elton John influence.
