New Release by Holly Woods of Toronto

info@cyclonerecords.ca (Brad Trew) — Thu, 22 Mar 2007 01:25:08 GMT

We can barely contain our excitement on this one although it has been in the works since late 2006. Holly Woods was lead singer for the band Toronto in the late 70's and 80's. The band released 5 studio albums (and 2 greatest hits packages) that sold almost 700,000 units in Canada resulting in about 10 Top 40 hits. In 1985, due to a number of unforeseen and unfortunate events, Toronto disbanded leaving a bulk of new material unreleased. It would have appeared that fate was against them and the material would never see the light of day. Cyclone Records has acquired the rights to the "lost" master and is now releasing it as an 8 song album entitled "Holly Woods-Live It Up!" in April 2007. A tour is in the works for June and July of this year.
