WEST BOUND Feat. CHAS WEST And ROY Z: 'Dance Of Life' Video

“Dance Of Life”, the new video from WEST BOUND, the hard-hitting Los Angeles-area rock band featuring vocalist Chas West (RESURRECTION KINGS, BONHAM, LYNCH MOB), guitarist/producer Roy Z (BRUCE DICKINSON, HALFORD, TRIBE OF GYPSIES), guitarist Jimmy Burkard, bassist Jason Cornwell and drummer Dave “Chilli” Moreno, can be seen below. The song is taken from WEST BOUND‘s debut album, “Volume I”, which was released on February 22 on Frontiers Music Srl.

West says his “inspiration for WEST BOUND‘s sound came from “influences from the ’70s and ’80s classic hard rock, back when music was — in my opinion — real and passionate, from the heart and soul. Bands like LED ZEPPELIN, WHITESNAKE, DEEP PURPLE, FOREIGNER, AEROSMITH, VAN HALEN, etc. were what we grew up on and we went back to our youth when writing the songs for the album.”

If you remember the great bluesy hard rock explosion from the late ’80s and early ’90s with bands like TESLA, CINDERELLA, BADLANDS, TORA TORA and SALTY DOG and enjoy the modern throwback hard rock like RIVAL SONS, MASSIVE WAGONS, INGLORIOUS and the like, you are going to find WEST BOUND right up your alley.

On the first single and video, Chas explains that “the song ‘Never Surrender’ is one that Roy Z and I came up with in the studio. It’s about going through struggles in life and never giving up on your dreams. People can relate to it in their own lives… It’s a theme we all know as human beings. Sometimes the tough times can help you define your true character.”
