Title: Nick Gilder - Frequency
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1979, Glam Rock, Power Pop, New Wave
Matrix #: CHR-1219
Condition: VG (LM) | Members: Nick G (51' - ) | Producer: Mike Chapman
Cultural Facts:

1. From Sweeney Todd to Solo Fame: Before going solo, Gilder fronted the Canadian glam band Sweeney Todd, whose “Roxy Roller” became a major hit. After he left, a very young Bryan Adams briefly became the band's singer, linking two future Canadian stars through the same group.
2. Mike Chapman Connection: Frequency was produced by Mike Chapman, one of the architects of 1970s glam and power pop through his work with Sweet, Suzi Quatro and later Blondie. That pairing put Gilder directly inside the same polished, hook-heavy production world that shaped several major transatlantic hits.
3. Songwriter Beyond His Own Records: Gilder's success wasn't limited to performing. He later co-wrote “The Warrior” for Scandal featuring Patty Smyth, proving that the sharp pop instincts behind his own records could travel successfully into other artists' careers.
