I know some of you are into this band, so here's some info from www.melodicrock.com:

"Frontiers Records is excited to reveal all details surrounding the much anticipated Pretty Maids come back album entitled Wake Up To The Real World to be released on November 10.
Pretty Maids is a legendary Hard Rock / Heavy Metal combo from Denmark founded in early 1982 by guitarist Ken Hammer and singer Ronnie Atkins.
After 10 studio albums, 2 EPs, 1 Best Of and 2 live albums, in 2002 the band celebrated their 20th anniversary with the release of the album Planet Panic followed by a successful European tour. But at the end of the same year they decided to take a long break from recording and touring. Now in 2006 the band is finally ready to release their long awaited come back album entitled Wake Up To The Real World.
In singer Ronnie Atkins words: "The new record has all the trademarks a good Pretty Maids album should have and that s the overall combination of good melodies and strong guitar riffs. But the keyword as far as I m concerned is it s gotta be melodic whether it s the heavier and faster tracks or the more ballad/AOR oriented kind of stuff, in other words good songs and I think the album has got that!"
With renewed energy, new visions, a new drummer (former Royal Hunt skinsman Allan Tsichaja) and a brand new album, Pretty Maids is once again ready to face the crowd and rock the world.
Wake Up To The Real World shall feature the following eleven songs: Wake Up To The Real World; All In The Name of Love; I Am The End; As Guilty As You; Why Die For A Lie; Such A Rush; Where True Beauty Lies; Brave Young New Breed; Terminal Violence; Perfect Strangers; Another Shot Of You Love.
Pretty Maids will be specially appearing at the United Forces Of Rock Festival in Ludwigsburg, Germany on October 1. Don't miss 'em!"

Note that there are clips available on the Frontiers site:

This criminally underrated band just keeps knocking out one great cd after another. People's mistake is that they believe The Maids stopped back in 1987. Friends, this band has only gotten better and better with age.
 
Agreed on the underrated. I'd put them somewhat in the PC69 vein of melodic metal, but they are definitely heavier than that.
