West Of Sunset are an AOR/ Westcoast duo from Sweden. The band mainly consists of vocalist, guitarist & keyboardist Björn Strom and bassist & guitarist Thomas Axelsson.
Sound-wise, the guys on “West Of Sunset” though orientate more on the American West Coast sound and not on the Swedish AOR traditions.
Next to Strom’s incredible vocal performance, the songs are really standouts here and include classic Westcoast gems such as “Ocean Boulevard” and the ballad “Giving My Heart Away”. “West Of Sunset” originally was released in 1992 on the small Swedish label Sonnet and is a very much sought after collector’s item today.
