Winger and Better Days Comin’ has been receiving critical acclaim from a variety of outlets and people with places MetalSucks.com exclaiming, “Now the third of Winger’s post-2k albums is out today, titled Better Days Comin’ (heh heh) and it rips!” and Liam Wilson of the Dillinger Escape Plan reviewing on TheTalkhouse, “…we find Winger sticking to their strengths: writing genuinely ‘classic’ — in the truest sense of the word — rock gems at a time when it couldn’t be more unhip to do so.”
Winger recently released a video for the song “Tin Soldier” which debuted on GuitarWorld.com and can be seen here: http://youtu.be/20xl9x8BhUM. Jason Green and Dan Hubp, who also designed the first Winger album cover and logo, directed the video. The new song showcases Winger building on their previous album's tendency towards progressive rock, delivering an intricate, musical landscape that basks in interesting harmonic, melodic components, which weave through three different time signatures. Winger has also released videos for the debut single, “Rat Race” as well as the album opener “Midnight Driver of a Love Machine.” The video for “Rat Race” can be seen at http://youtu.be/Jp57jqoKJ7E and “Midnight Driver of a Love Machine” can be seen at http://youtu.be/4tOzsssTtDU.
Winger is currently on tour in support of their latest release and all tour dates can be found on their website, www.wingertheband.com.
Winger formed in the late 1980’s and soared to immediate success with their 1988 self-titled release. The album spawned the hit singles “Seventeen” and “Headed For A Heartbreak” and achieved platinum sales status. Winger also stayed on the Billboard Top 200 chart for over 60 weeks where it peaked at #21. Their next album, In The Heart Of The Young, also achieved platinum status behind the singles “Can’t Get Enuff” and “Miles Away.” The change in musical climate of the mid-90’s, compounded with unprovoked ridicule on MTV’s popular Beavis and Butthead, led the band to go on hiatus in 1994. In 2001, the band reunited and have not looked back since. Winger has made a name for themselves with relentless touring, while winning back fans and critics alike because of their exceptional musicianship, Kip Winger’s powerful vocals and the band’s incredible songwriting.
Winger is comprised of Kip Winger on vocals/bass, Reb Beach on guitar, John Roth on guitar and Rod Morgenstein on drums.
