CLOSER TO THE SUN

Description

Hard rock songwriters Tyketto will release their sixth studio album, Closer To The Sun, on March 20, 2026, via Silver Lining Music. With this record, the band unveils some of their best, superbly crafted rock anthems, celebrating the return of this unfairly underrated quintet, originally founded in New York. Led by singer and founding member Danny Vaughn, the album was recorded in several studios across the UK and Europe, including Flip Flop Studios and Rockfield in Wales. From the swing and confidence of "Higher Than High," their deep appreciation for the liberating power of music is evident, with Vaughn roaring: "In this space, you can learn to heal / There's a music that helps you feel / Higher than high." Alongside Vaughn, Harry Scott Elliott on guitar, Ged Rylands on keyboards, Chris Childs (Thunder) on bass, and Johnny Dee (Doro) on drums deliver top-tier performances, making the tracks literally crackle. Throughout Closer To The Sun, Tyketto speaks to the listener about true loves, losses, and the pleasures of life. From the triumphant and unifying anthem of the title track, celebrating the power of love, to the punchy brutality of "Hit Me Where It Hurts," designed to raise fists and make hearts beat, to the powerful ballad "The Picture," Tyketto continues to confidently evolve on the same musical ground as Whitesnake or Aerosmith, with the added bonus of a fresh newness for many listeners. Closer To The Sun sees Tyketto reaffirming their place among rock's most respected and enduring names.
