McAuley Survivor Group Recording New Studio Album

02/19/2009
. (ABC) Survivor is currently hard at work at studios in Chicago and Los Angeles on a new studio album which they hope to release by the end of the year.

Singer Robin McAuley joined Survivor in 2006. Guitarist/founding member Frankie Sullivan knew he was the perfect person to front the band. "When we made the decision to replace Jimi Jamison," he explained, "I had no idea what we would do. Then it hit me--Robin McAuley! Is he available? How can he possibly be available?! Can I be lucky yet again in my career to work with such a talented singer? Well, the short answer, he was available, we gave him the songs of a set list we would perform, he came to the Windy City and blew our socks off! Robin is a pure pleasure to work with and he's such a great person. With Robin, what you see is what you get. And boy do you get it!"

McAuley continued: "I'm very excited at this opportunity to sing for Survivor. I can only hope the Survivor fans give me a fighting chance. Frankie and I have worked together in the past I am extremely excited to start writing with him again and playing with a great bunch of guys. This new Survivor promises to be full of energy, and with such a stable of awesome tunes to pick from, who knows what each show will bring. I'm ready!" - more on this story
