Reach is the eighth studio album by rock band Survivor, released under Frontiers Records on 25 April 2006.[1] This is the band's first album in 18 years.[2] Some of the material originates from a period from 1993 to 1996 when the band recorded demos for an unreleased album that can be heard on the Fire Makes Steel bootleg.
By this time, Frankie Sullivan was the only original member of Survivor, as Jim Peterik left the band in 1996. Following the release of this album singer Jimi Jamison left Survivor as well, though he subsequently reunited with them in 2011. Ultimately, this turned out to be his final album with the band, due to his death in 2014.
