Now & Never is the 6th studio album by the Canadian rock band Platinum Blonde. It is their first album of new material in the 25 years since 1987's Contact. The first single from the album, "Beautiful" was released on June 18, 2012.[1]
Background and writing
After their last official cross-Canada tour ended in 2000, Platinum Blonde's frontman Mark Holmes released a solo album and worked as a DJ at the The Mod Club in Toronto, Ontario. In 2010, Holmes decided the time was right to renew the band: "All the bands that I was doing remixes for lately seem to sound like Platinum Blonde. So I thought it might be the right time for a dose of the real thing." [2]
With the passing of Kenny MacLean in 2008, Holmes invited Rob Laidlaw (known for his work with Honeymoon Suite) and Dan Todd to join the band. This is the lineup that is touring the new material in 2012.
