Gibraltar featuring Roy Cathey (the voice of Cold Sweat and Sweatin’ Bullets) finally get an official release twenty-five plus years in the making!!! Twenty-five years plus in the making, the super-rare album I’m The One by hard rock band Gibraltar, finally gets a well-deserved official release from hard rock label FnA Records (fnarecords.net) Passion. Energy. Intensity. Power. These are all words that can describe early 80’s hard rock band Gibraltar. However, if you look deep into its inner core, you will see that the aforementioned adjectives really stem from the nucleus – and that nucleus is lead singer Roy Cathey. Now it’s no secret that Roy Cathey is a powerhouse vocalist, but if it weren’t for the other members of Gibraltar, history may have very well been written differently for this Fayetteville, North Carolina hard rock quintet. Gibraltar, which consisted of Roy Cathey on vocals, Frank Fournier on Bass, Eric Page on Guitars, Jerry Everly on Drums, and David Garcia on Keyboards worked the Fayetteville NC scene hard! They took every gig that was offered to them, whether t was a club show, a keg party, the county fair (Fort Bragg), or even someone’s garage. Word started to spread and spread it did. The bands fan base was growing rapidly with every new gig and the name Gibraltar was becoming well known amongst the early Gen Xer’s who were hungry for a new sound that would eventually define an era which gave life to a new phrase,” The Decline of the Western Civilization.” Quiet Riot, Van Halen, Def Leppard, Ratt and many others were seeing great success – and Gibraltar had the tools including the look to follow suit. Roy Cathey and Marc Ferrari would go on to form Sweatin’ Bullets which then became Cold Sweat. Cold Sweat was signed to MCA Records and released an album that contained two Roy Cathey co-writes (“Long Way Down and Killing Floor) plus and an MTV music video for the song Lets Make Love Tonight”. Cold Sweat would go on tour supporting their album “Breakout”, and then it was all over. In 2013, Gibraltar signed with heavy hitter hard-rock label FnA Records (fnarecords). FnA Records repackaged the whole album with new artwork and a multi-page bio along with remastering the album. You can pick up the new album I’m The One by Gibraltar from FnA Records and other fine music retailers around the globe (Amazon, CD Baby, etc.)
