Whoâs Robin McAuley?
If you were rocking out in the late â80s, you might remember McAuley Schenker Group (MSG)âa powerhouse duo featuring Robin and legendary guitarist Michael Schenker. Together, they crafted sleek, anthemic rock that sat somewhere between the polished shine of Def Leppard and the fiery precision of Scorpions. âPerfect Timingâ (1987) and âSave Yourselfâ (1989) are packed with massive hooks, soaring vocals, and Schenkerâs signature guitar wizardry.
And guess what? Robinâs still delivering the goods. His new album âSoulboundâ proves that heavy melodic rock isnât just aliveâitâs thriving. Packed with punchy riffs, anthemic choruses, and that unmistakable vocal charisma, itâs the kind of album that makes you believe in rock & roll all over again.
Robin McAuley isnât just a killer vocalistâheâs a survivor of the rock & roll rollercoaster. From fronting Grand Prix in the early â80s, to his era with MSG, to keeping the flame alive with projects like Black Swan, heâs one of those rare vocalists who never lost his fire. His voice? Still crystal clear and full of power, proving that age is just a number when youâve got rock in your veins.
