Re-Wired: Collateral’s Electrifying Remix Album Review

September 25, 2023 rocknews

Collateral are a superb UK Rock Band from Kent, UK. I had the pleasure of photographing them at this years Stonedead Festival and was really impressed with their set.

Frontman Angelo Tristaian is the epitome of a Rock Star with stage presence in abundance, and a great voice. Their dynamic performance soon got the crowd going and was exiting to photograph. The bands sound is a mixture of Country Rock fusion and Metal / Southern Rock.

Band Line Up:

Angelo Cristian (Lead Vocal / Guitar)
Todd Winger (Guitar)
Jack Bently-Smith (Bass)
Ben Atkinson (Drums).

The bands Album Re-Wired , is a remix of their debut album, previously released in February 2020, and managed to reach a top 5 position in the UK Official Rock Charts.

The re-released album was published on 21 October 2022 under the label Big Shot, has a special guest featured on each track. The final track “Sin in the City” was also released as the bands new single. If you like bands like Bon jovi, Lynard Skynard and the Black Crowes then you will love Collateral. They are not too heavy but are a true Rock band with a talented line up and a bright future.
