Changes? Yeah, they’ve had ‘em. Fallen off the path?
Guilty. Slowed down? No way. Never. Don’t ever count
these guys out of the game. For the first time in its 36-year
history, Grammy nominated hard rock band legends, Great
White takes on its third frontman. The band is ready for
what lies ahead, with a respectful nod to the past forging
its tried-and-true mantra: these songs are bigger than any
one member.
“Mitch Malloy is the lead singer of Great White. He’s an
incredible singer, artist, songwriter and engineer,” lead
guitarist, Mark Kendall said. “We’re beyond excited to
stretch our musical muscles with a fresh, new take on Great
White’s catalog of hits.”
That arsenal of songs include the Grammy nominated Best
Hard Rock Performance hit, “Once Bitten, Twice Shy,” Great
White has sold over 10 million albums worldwide, has six
Top 100 Billboard hits, nine Top 200 Billboard albums, two
platinum albums, and clocked the top of MTV four times.
To experience their hits live in concert - “Rock Me,” “Mista
Bone,” “Save Your Love,” “House of Broken Love,” and
“Lady Red Light”—is to ride an emotional wave of sultry
connections, arousing lyrics, and an all-out marathon of
hard-hitting orchestrations.
They returned to the classic rock radio charts with
“Complicated” off of 2012’s Elation. The band’s 12th studio
album, Elation, garnered high marks from numerous rock
journalists behind the pesky “Something For You,” the
cheeky “Shotgun Willie’s,” and the emotional, Top 10 classic
rock radio entry, “Hard To Say Goodbye.”
In June 2017, Great White reunited with its original producer,
Michael Wagener on the thrilling Full Circle. The nine-track
album spawned the balls-to-the wall single “Big Time.” And
for the first time in its career, Great White gave a peak
behind the curtain to its fans with the accompanying DVD
“The Making of Full Circle.”
Since 1982, the Great White sound has captivated
audiences worldwide with crushing blues-based guitar riffs
and swagger that invokes an emotional high for anyone that
listens. The band’s core writing team of Lardie and Kendall
forged numerous hits over the years, and when Desbrow
joined in ’85, the grooves hooked an amazing stride.
For nearly a decade, Snyder has merged his unforgiving
rhythm to Desbrow’s relentless percussion. New to Great
White but well known and respected in rock music, Malloy
charted his first solo single, “Anything At All” in 1992. His
subsequent hits “Nobody Wins In This War” and “Our Love
Will Never Die” also made Billboard’s Top 100.
“We’re ready to rock with Mitch,” Desbrow added. Don’t
ever count us down and out. It feels like we’re just getting
started.”
Great White is focused on its newest journey with Malloy.
They plan on returning to the studio and will update fans as
soon as they can.
