Since 1981, Welsh musician Mike Peters has been the voice of the hit-making British band The Alarm. After the band split up in 1991, Peters wrote and released solo work, before reconstituting The Alarm in 2000, (Wikipedia.)\\xa0Since being diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia in 2005 (he is also co-founder of the Love Hope Strength Foundation), Mike Peter\\u2019s career has been largely determined by the cycle of remission and relapse. But to listen to The Alarm\\u2019s upcoming album, pointedly called Forwards, and you\\u2019ll hear a man whose songwriting is as anthemic as ever, and, yes, determinedly forward looking. Mike Peters plays some of these new songs, as well as one of the band\\u2019s old hits, on acoustic baritone guitar, in-studio. (-John Schaefer)
