Alarm Front Man 'Rises' With New Disc Another relic of the '80s returns Oct. 13, when Velvel releases "Rise," the third solo album by former Alarm lead singer/songwriter Mike Peters. The 14-track disc, recorded last summer in the U.K., features a guest appearance on several tracks by erstwhile Cult guitarist Billy Duffy. The album's first single, "Transcendental," will be sent to radio in late September.

Mike Peters guided the Alarm for eight years, scoring such alternative rock hits as "Sixty Eight Guns," "Strength," and "The Stand." The Alarm disbanded in 1991, following a world tour.
