Artist Bio

It's SURVIVOR members, Frankie Sullivan and Jimi Jamison, that keep the signature SURVIVOR sound that the world fell in love with, alive and touring!
The story of the band began in the cold winter of 1977 under the initiative of Frankie Sullivan and Jim Peterik, but only three albums and five years later this name became well-known all over the world, when the band composed “Eye of the Tiger” for the movie “Rocky III” with Sylvester Stallone, which went on to win the Grammy Award and to hit # 1 of the charts in many countries.
After the next album “Caught In The Game”, the former COBRA vocalist Jimi Jamison was introduced to the fans, making his debut on the worldwide hit (soundtrack of “Rocky IV” and # 2 in the US charts) “Burning Heart”. The following album, in 1984, “Vital Signs” is still counted nowadays among the milestones of melodic rock, with tracks like “Can't Hold Back” or “High On You”. “Can't Hold Back” entered the Top Ten of the US charts and the second single release “The Search Is Over” reached Nr. 2 on the hot 100. The following album “When Seconds Count” kept the typical trademarks of the SURVIVOR sound and reached the USA Top Ten again with the single “Is This Love”. “Too Hot To Sleep” was the title of the last SURVIVOR record in 1988, which is still considered by many as their best record, containing the singles “Across The Miles” and “Didn't Know It Was Love”.
Shortly after this release, the group decided to pursue different projects. Frankie continued in the studio writing and recording with many different artists, most recently with EDDIE MONEY for his 1999 release, “Ready Eddie”, in which Frankie produced as well as wrote and performed. Jimi, while touring and recording with his own band, was tapped to sing the theme song “I'm Always Here” for the hit TV show “Baywatch”.
Now, 17 years after their last studio album and two popular “Greatest Hits” compilation and with a line-up featuring Frankie Sullivan along with long-time members Jimi Jamison and Marc Droubay, plus Chris Grove and the new face Barry Dunaway (fomer DOKKEN and MALMSTEEN) on bass, SURVIVOR are back with a brand new studio album entitled “Reach”.
Recorded over a period of three months in Los Angeles at the end of 2005, this record of all new SURVIVOR material meets the great demand of the existing fans who have been asking for years for new songs that could continue in the legacy of the great sound the band created in the past years.
“Reach” is a true SURVIVOR record made for the fans and faithful to their expectations! The band are also planning some live appearances in Europe to coincide with the release of the record.
