Paul Quinn and The Cards

International classic rock power trio The Cards, featuring original, founding Saxon guitarist Paul Quinn The group, also featuring American singer/bassist Harrison Young (of Doro and U.D.O.) and Dutch drummer Koen Herfst (of Vandenberg) “The new album and tour will see us heading into a new but familiar realm,” says Quinn. “It’s more rock than the last, but I guess that makes sense, considering our backgrounds.” Regarding the album title “Generation Jukebox,” singer Harrison Young says “We tried to touch on as many different eras of rock music as possible, because it’s what we all grew up with, together but separately, generationally and geographically, from Motown to Metal. So that’s what it means to me. That we, as The Cards, are sort of a Generation(al) Jukebox.”

Paul Quinn made waves in the hard rock and metal world earlier when he announced his departure from Saxon after an astonishing 48 years of heavy metal service, citing the burdens of heavy touring as his main reason. Both Quinn and the band remain on good terms, with Paul playing a farewell show at Barcelona Rocks Festival. There have also been hints from both sides that he will continue to appear in some capacity on Saxon’s new albums. Meanwhile, Paul continues to make his own kind of music and play shows on his own terms, as evidenced by this latest output with The Cards.
