Winger is releasing Better Days Comin\u2019 on April 18th in Europe and April 22nd in North America via Frontiers Records.

The album is available for pre-order on Amazon.com in a standard (http:\/\/smarturl.it\/WNGR_AmzCD<\/a>) and deluxe configuration (http:\/\/smarturl.it\/WNGR_AmzDLX<\/a>). The deluxe edition comes in a glossy digipak and includes the bonus track \u201cAnother Beautiful Day\u201d and a DVD including a Making of the Album documentary as well as videos for the first single \u201cRat Race\u201d and title track \u201cBetter Days Comin’.\u201d An iTunes pre-order will be available soon. The band has always been known for their incredible musicianship and the trend continues on Better Days Comin\u2019.<\/p>\n

“On Better Days Comin\u2019 we drew from our past to elaborate on our future. The band is stronger than ever and very excited about the music on this record,\u201d explains front \"Winger\"man Kip Winger. \u201cWe feel this album exemplifies the true sound of the band in every way.”<\/p>\n

From the opening riff of album opener \u201cMidnight Driver of a Love Machine\u201d to the final outro lick of \u201cOut Of This World,\u201d it is clear Winger is back and better than ever. Hard rocking songs like \u201cQueen Babylon,\u201d progressive rock movements like \u201cTin Soldier,\u201d and touching ballads like \u201cEver Wonder\u201d show the band\u2019s diversity while always centering on great songs. The debut single from Better Days Comin\u2019 is the adrenaline fueled rocker \u201cRat Race\u201d that showcases some of the band\u2019s best work of their 25 year career.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Winger formed in the late 1980\u2019s and soared to immediate success with their 1988 self-titled release. The album spawned the hit singles \u201cSeventeen\u201d and \u201cHeaded For A Heartbreak\u201d and achieved platinum sales status. Winger also stayed on the Billboard Top 200 chart for over 60 weeks where it peaked at #21. Their next album, In The Heart Of The Young, also achieved platinum status behind the singles \u201cCan\u2019t Get Enuff\u201d and \u201cMiles Away.\u201d The change in musical climate of the mid-90\u2019s, compounded with unprovoked ridicule on MTV\u2019s popular Beavis and Butthead, led the band to go on hiatus in 1994. In 2001, the band reunited and have not looked back since. Winger has made a name for themselves with relentless touring, while winning back fans and critics alike because of their exceptional musicianship, Kip Winger\u2019s powerful vocals and the band\u2019s incredible songwriting.<\/p>\n
