Houston has been around since their self-titled debut album in 2010 and landed the number one in Classic Rock Magazine\u2019s AOR chart that year, up against outfits such as Unruly Child, Crashdiet, H.e.a.t and Nelson. The band then went on to play the festival circuit with appearances at Sweden Rock, Download Festival UK, Rock of Ages Germany as well as touring the UK with Swedish sleaze rockers CrashDiet.<\/p>\n

Houston\u2019s second album \u201cRelaunch\u201d featured a cover song called \u2018Runaway\u2019 that became the soundtrack to Red Bull\u2019s own Danny MacAskill\u2019s Extreme BMX video \u2018Imaginate\u2019 which has over 74 million views on YouTube and 600,000 plays on Spotify and counting.<\/p>\n

Together with renowned producer and ex MTV rocker Martin Karleg\u00e5rd (Reptile Smile) the band created \u2018III\u2019. Martin Karleg\u00e5rd has worked with French Idol singer Jenifer, Swedish pop star Brolle Jr and world famous Swedish band \u2018The Sounds\u2019 and has helped the band to add a mature and organic sound to their brand of classy and classic Melodic Rock.<\/p>\n

As singer Hank Erix explains, “It’s been a very creative time with Martin, it’s great to find a producer that brings out the best in you for every single take. Personally I\u2019ve never delivered such a vocal performance as on this album. I really found my sound and I have matured musically since our last album and especially since our debut in 2010. This is a new beginning for Houston.”<\/p>\n
