To most rock or blues fans, certainly those on this island, the name Taste is synonymous with the late 60’s and the legendary Rory Gallagher (although the band did reform in the late 90’s). However, in this case, Taste are a Swedish band formed by two brothers in 2009 and “Moral Decay” is their second album, which was released on 31st August by AOR Heaven. The track “Alive” was included on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 31st August.


 

Brothers Christoffer and Felix Borg formed Taste in 2009 with the vision to record classic AOR songs influenced by bands such as FM and Giant. They released their self-titled debut album through AOR Heaven in 2013 before taking a hiatus whilst the brothers were part of the band Art Nation and Christoffer got into music production.


The brothers signalled their return with the release of the single “We Are Back” before re-signing with AOR Heaven for the release of “Moral Decay”.

 

Christoffer provides the lead vocals and plays guitar, bass and synths whilst Felix plays drums, acoustic guitar, bass and synths.

About “NI Rocks Recommends”

The simple idea behind “NI Rocks Recommends” is to acknowledge and promote some of the great music being submitted to Rock Radio NI. The albums that I’ll be recommending are those that you’ll hear me playing tracks from on my shows. I'll not be giving marks or ratings or analyzing the tracks in great detail; just telling you something about the artist and the album. It’s a personal recommendation to go check something out, not a traditional “review”!
