ROCKSTORY

"(SUBWAY TO SALLY BIOGRAPHY)"

"WALLNER / VAIN was formed in LA by Will Wallner (current lead guitarist for White Wizzard) and female vocalist Vivien Vain when they met at the ‘passion for hard bands from the 70’s and 80’s. Will Wallner & Vivien Vain released their full length debut LP Rising in 2012. The Battle Of Clyst Heath was released two years later in 2014. It wasn't until 2021 that the duo released Prototype and soon after an EP of Thin Lizzy covers titled ‘The Legend Never Dies’ as a warm up before starting work on their new album ”Duel”. They teamed up with producer Chris Collier (Whitesnake, KXM, Lynch Mob) to obtain that classic hard rock sound, and succeeded on ”Duel”, as this is one of the best American classic hard rock ’80s sounding albums. It was important to Wallner that ”Duel” showcase the guitar in a way that was authentic to his heroes. Everything was recorded with a Les Paul through a vintage Marshall stack at concert volumes. There are no plugins, samples, or auto tune on Vain’s powerful, natural vocals. Songs like rocking ‘Johnny B. Bad’ (a song about a vagabond musician Wallner met in Hollywood), the groovy midpaced ‘Duel’, the riff-driven ‘Pay to Play’, the very ’80s ‘Deceive Her’, the melodic hard rocker ‘Into the Night’ – all are strong hard rockers . WALLNER / VAIN delivers well-crafted, killer ’80s-style rockers with an excellent production by Collier, with a sound ranging from ‘American’ late Eighties Whitesnake, Hurricane, Dokken to Thin Lizzy and Gary Moore.
