Hard rocking quintet Tyketto has just announced they will release Closer To The Sun, their sixth studio album in March 2026.
The band – featuring Danny Vaughn (Vocals), Harry Scott Elliott (Guitar), Ged Rylands (Keyboards), Chris Childs (Bass) and Johnny Dee (Drums) – has signed with British rock specialist label Silver Lining Music, who are home to the likes of Europe, Uriah Heep, Saxon, Michael Monroe, Soen and Diamond Head among others for the new album.
With vocalist and founding member Danny Vaughn at the helm, Tyketto continue to create and craft the type of powerful, anthemic songs that saw the band burst through the hard rock landscape in 1987 and release their debut album, Don’t Come Easy, through Geffen Records in 1989. Since that landmark debut, Tyketto has released a further four studio albums and toured internationally to a loyal and dedicated fan base.
“I was pleasantly shocked when Danny and the band put pen to paper,” said Silver Lining label owner Thomas Jensen. “We’re talking about a really wonderful band in terms of sheer songwriting quality and live delivery, and if I’m honest, one which probably didn’t get the credit it deserves. We’re all glad to be part of a team determined to shift that needle!”
“Many years of hard work ground to a complete halt when covid first hit us all,” said Vaughn, “and it was really touch and go as to whether or not Tyketto would continue. Since our return in 2023, the band has been on a steady upward trajectory, with more fans coming out to see and support us than ever before.
“This fantastic upward rise has now culminated in our signing a brand-new record deal with Silver Lining Music, who have already shown, not only love and support for us, but also a real understanding for our personal relationship with our fans. The end result of all of this is an album that Tyketto fans are going to absolutely fall in love with. For Tyketto, these are the best of times!”
