’80s bands never die, they just eventually reunite. And of all the ’80s bands, probably none is more maligned than Winger. I mean, Stewart wore a Winger shirt on Beavis and Butt-head. And while detractors aren’t going to be changing their mind any time soon, Winger has returned with a new album, Better Days Comin’, that will be released on Frontiers Records on April 22nd. The band have actually been back together since 2001, but haven’t released an album since 2009. The first single from their sixth album, “Rat Race,” is a surprisingly upbeat one. And while “heavy” isn’t a word that we’d necessarily use to describe Kip Winger and/or his band, if you dig Adrenaline Mob, you might want to give this a listen. The new album can be preordered here.
