Playhouse unveil video for new single “The Storm” from upcoming album ‘Dancing At Funerals’
Canadian rockers Playhouse consisting of frontman Peter Cat, bassist Danny Williams, guitarists KK and Eric “Freak” Westergard, and drummer Steve Creephave have unveiled a video for their new single “The Storm” from their upcoming album Dancing At Funerals, which will be released via RFL Records during the summer of 2022.
RFL Records‘ press release back on March 25, 2022 indicates:
“Playhouse, Canada’s stalwarts of Anthem-Driven Hard Rock, have inked a worldwide deal with US based RFL Records; Drop powerful new video “The Storm.”
Formed in 1987, five high school friends set out to be the biggest rock band to ever come out of Canada. With a reputation for their high energy shows and big anthems, they quickly began filling every club & theater that they played. The band was destined for global success, selling thousands of copies of their two EP’s; 1988’s “Little Monster” and 1990’s “Tongue, Tied & Twisted.” Just like so many bands in the early 90’s, the success that seemed to be theirs for the taking never fully manifested and after almost a decade of decadence and steady touring in support of such bands as Extreme, Killer Dwarfs, Lee Aaron and Harem Scarem, the band decided to call it quits. It was an end of an era………but some things never fully come to an end.

Fast forward to 2016 – the band reunites and enters the studio with veteran producer and guitarist of Slaves on Dope; Kevin Jardine, to record new songs. In 2017, for the 1st time in 25 years, Playhouse returned to the stage with a sold out comeback show in Montreal, Canada. Many high profile shows followed, including opening slots for The Dead Daisies, L.A. Guns, Buckcherry, Dizzy Reed’s Hookers & Blow, Helix, and Warrior Soul. The band also releases their first album “The Rock N’ Roll Circus” to critical acclaim in 2018 and followed that up with a single and video, “Revolution Tonight,” in 2020!
