The Mighty One… now we Rise!!
The Mighty One was created by Tim Steinruck in 2008. In the early ’90s,
his former band Unchained was able to secure a potential multi-million
record deal with Polygram Records, and management with
Paul Stanley of Kiss. Childhood dreams come true!
The emergence of grunge purged those hair metal dreams but Tim
took the golden experiences of working with Mr. Stanley and
Kiss and infused them into his own brand of creativity.
In 2007 the Devin Townsend Project began rehearsing in the
recording studio he had built in Vancouver, Canada. Tim had the
good fortune of having Devin and the band help produce and
perform tracks on the debut “The Mighty One” record.
The debut album garnered 3 chart-topping singles at
North American radio and the video for “Reprieved” became a
staple at Canadian video station Much Loud. The song was mixed by legendary producer/mixer/engineer Mike Fraser (AC/DC, Metallica, Poison, WhiteSnake).
In 2013 the single “Waiting For You,” from the sophomore release
SHiFT, was purchased by the NHL and Sirius XM to promote the return of Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins after his first concussion.
The Mighty One relaunched in 2017 with drummer Bob Wagner, and the band’s new bass player, Gustavo Valderrama. He produced a Spanish version of “Reprieved,” which entered regular rotation at national radio in Colombia
and was recognized as one of the top 100 rock songs of that year there.
The new album “Torch Of Rock And Roll” (March 26, 2021) sees the band taking a legacy approach to their songwriting and production. The record is a powerful snapshot of what has been, and what will be for The Mighty One.
The singles “Burden” and “Coming On” define that vision. The title track,
“Torch Of Rock And Roll” is autobiographical and captures the band’s philosophy and relationship with rock n’ roll.
The recent release of “My Garden LIVE from the Rickshaw Theatre”
celebrates their fourth Sony/Orchard released single “My Garden,” and
captures the energy of the band live, as they prepare to tour.
The Mighty One. Feel The Fire. Keep It Burning! Torch Of Rock And Roll!
