The Western Front - Eureka LP

Four decades down the line, the history of early-’80s rock is cast in stone. But what if there was a missing chapter? A great lost band to rank alongside any of that era’s giants? An all-time-classic album that was only heard by the men – amongst them the West Coast’s best session musicians and Scott Gorham of Thin Lizzy – who recorded it? Released 40-plus years after it was caught in the bottle – The Western Front’s Eureka is a moment of long-overdue triumph, introducing a ‘new’ band to the world, alongside twelve songs that still crackle with electricity. “Eureka was a labour of love,” admits guitarist/producer Marty Walsh. “But everybody is just beside themselves that this record is coming out.”
