Prog Rock Duo Liberty's Exiles Bring Goth Edge To "The Price Of Immortality" - Available September 4 Worldwide

Progressive Rock duo Liberty's Exiles bring Goth edge with "The Price of Immortality". Available September 4 Worldwide on Jukester PR

Embarking on their eight release since 2013, the progressive rock duo of Simon Talbot and Rob Mallory have laid out "The Price of Immortality" as 15 tracks showing their true progressive elements, while infusing styles of 80's goth, modern rock and some heaviness throughout. The album is scheduled for a September 4 release worldwide and the band will release the record on the Jukester PR label. 

Their influences are across the board and Talbot says "Influences are wide and many, and I would like to think that we could sit beside any form of rock music." One of the standout tracks include "Soulfire", a semi-ballad that gives off a prog meets 80's style new wave/goth feel. Imagine if bands like The Smiths or The Cure decided to go prog and you get the vision. Another track that shows a heavier side of LE is "The Citadel", showing many elements of heavy rock, clean guitars and clocking in around eight minutes locks it into pure progressive rock fusion. 

For the recordings of "The Price of Immortality", Mallory says "I had this really long story in mind and sat down and wrote out lyrics for 15 songs to form the story. At the same time, Simon had a great musical idea that lent itself to a concept album format." 

The end result is an album that came out very quickly, with recurring musical themes and sound quite different from previous albums, but still very much a Liberty's Exiles release.

Liberty's Exiles formed in 2013 with Simon Talbot located in England, while Rob Mallory lives in Iowa

Liberty's Exiles:
Simon Talbot - Vocals, Guitars
Rob Mallory - Keyboards, Strings

This tour will reunite Joe with one of his Barnstorm band members, keyboardist and drummer Joe Vitale. Additionally Walsh will be supported with band members Gannin Arnold on guitar, Tommy Simms on bass and Drew Hester on drums.

Joe will be performing hits from throughout his career, ranging from the James Gang to his Barnstorm days, to the Eagles and his solo records right through to 2012's ANALOG MAN, and some surprises:

"I'm going back in the catalog to dig out some songs that I haven't ever played live, but everything everyone's coming to hear will also be in the show," Joe said. "I've got a great band and I'm excited to play with my old friend Joe Vitale again. I also love being able to go into smaller venues. I've missed it…The interaction with the audience is much better, everybody has a good seat and it reminds me of the old days. I think I play my best in a small venue when the bass drums are kicking me in the pants. I'm really looking forward to it all."

AndersonPonty Band Featuring Music Icons Jon Anderson & Jean Luc Ponty To Release New CD/DVD “Better Late Than Never”


Los Angeles - One of the most eagerly awaited releases of 2015 by the AndersonPonty Band, featuring music icons Jon Anderson and Jean Luc Ponty, is scheduled to hit the streets early Fall 2015! "Better Late Than Never" is the new album taken from a live performance, and enhanced with innovative production. The package includes a bonus DVD featuring outstanding performances by the band captured in September 2014 at the Wheeler Opera House in Aspen, Colorado. 

The AndersonPonty Band has created some breathtaking new musical compositions. "Better Late Than Never" also showcases rearrangements of classic YES hits like "Owner Of A Lonely Heart", "Roundabout" and "Wonderous Stories", as well as some of Jean Luc Ponty's beloved compositions, with Jon's lyrical vocals and melodies enhancing the music and creating a very special and unique sound such as "Infinite Mirage" a new song incorporating Jean Luc's classic tune "Mirage".

YES's original singer/songwriter for 35 years, Jon Anderson has had a successful solo career, which includes working with such notable music artists as Vangelis, Kitaro, and Milton Nascimento. International violin superstar Jean Luc Ponty is a pioneer and undisputed master of his instrument in the arena of jazz and rock. He is widely regarded as an innovator who has applied his unique visionary spin that has expanded the vocabulary of modern music. Together these two music legends have formed a musical synergy that is unparalleled!

"A breakthrough feeling came as I sang with Jean Luc's music, to be in a band again is very exciting on many levels, we will play and sing our way around the world and have fun, for music is pleasure, music is all that is." - Jon Anderson

"Collaborating with Jon who is such a creative singer/songwriter is unlike any project I have done before. I knew that we had plenty of musical affinities to make it work, but the result is way beyond my expectations. It is also a lot of fun to reunite with these excellent musicians who played with me in the past, they really put their heart in this project and with Jon's creative input we are not just rehashing the past but giving a new life to the music we started developing decades ago." - Jean Luc Ponty

The AndersonPonty Band also includes Jamie Glaser on guitars - well known guitarist who has worked with Jean Luc Ponty, Chick Corea, Bryan Adams and Lenny White; Wally Minko on keyboards - virtuoso player and composer who has performed and recorded with many worldwide stars including Pink, Toni Braxton, Jean Luc Ponty, Tom Jones, Gregg Rolie and Barry Manilow; Baron Browne on bass who has played with Steve Smith, Billy Cobham and Jean Luc Ponty; and Rayford Griffin on drums and percussion, who has played with Stanley Clarke Band, George Duke, Jean Luc Ponty and Michael Jackson. The band visit the music created by Jon Anderson and Jean Luc Ponty over the years with new arrangements, virtuosic performances and new energy.

Jean Luc Ponty was originally approached by Jon Anderson with the idea of working together as far back as the 1980's. Now 30 years later the dream has finally come to fruition! In support of the new release, a world tour is currently in the works. Also, a videography documenting the making of the "Better Late Than Never" album will be released along with videos and performances.

Audio Fidelity To Release Mahavishnu Orchestra's “Birds Of Fire” On Limited Edition 4.0 Quad SACD

"...sets out to further define and refine its blistering jazz-rock direction."

Camarillo, CA - Marshall Blonstein's Audio Fidelity is releasing the classic fusion album Birds of Fire by the Mahavishnu Orchestra as a limited edition Hybrid 4.0 Quad SACD. Birds of Fire is Mahavishnu Orchestra's second album. It was released in the first half of 1973 and is the last studio album released by the original Mahavishnu Orchestra line-up before the group dissolved. The album became a major crossover hit, rising to number 15 on the pop album charts, and it remains the key item in the slim discography of the first Mahavishnu Orchestra.

Although it has much of the screaming rock energy of the band's first album, Inner Mounting Flame, Birds of Fire is audibly more varied in texture, even more tightly organized, and more musical in content. A remarkable example of precisely choreographed, high-speed solo trading - with John McLaughlin, Jerry Goodman, and Jan Hammer all of one mind, supported by Billy Cobham's machine-gun drumming and Rick Laird's dancing bass.

Birds of Fire consists solely of compositions by John McLaughlin. This includes the track "Miles Beyond (Miles Davis)", which McLaughlin dedicated to his friend and former bandleader. The SACD booklet features a poem entitled "Revelation" by Sri Chinmoy.

1. BIRDS OF FIRE
2. MILES BEYOND (Miles Davis)
3. CELESTIAL TERRESTRIAL COMMUTERS
4. SAPPHIRE BULLETS OF PURE LOVE
5. THOUSAND ISLAND PARK
6. HOPE
7. ONE WORD
8. SANCTUARY
9. OPEN COUNTRY JOY
10. RESOLUTION

Produced by The Mahavishnu Orchestra
Stereo CD & SACD mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio
4.0 Analog to Hi Def DSD Digital Transfer:Gus Skinas 
Quadraphonic Sound Supervision: Harold J. Kleiner
Quadraphonic Re-Mix Engineer: Don Young

Audio Fidelity's Hybrid Super Audio CDs offer three layers on the same disc
o    Single layer  2-channel stereo
o    Dual-layer  - SACD 
o    As an added bonus Surround Sound 4.0 all in one disc
Every Audio Fidelity Hybrid MULTICHANNEL Surround Sound SACD is compatible with all standard CD players.

2015 will be another RPWL year!

The Munich based Art-Rock band RPWL has big plans for the 2nd half of 2015. First of all they will tour over Europe with a rarely special PINK FLOYD show.

As if that was not enough they will perform the show of their latest album 'Wanted' for the very last time: RPWL will record a DVD called 'A New Dawn' in their hometown Freising near Munich.


9th - 19th of September 2015 (Europe)

For their tour in autumn 2015, RPWL is going to bring a lost treasure back on stage again: ,The Man and the Journey' was the name of Pink Floyd's legendary first concept show from 1969. This classic show was never recorded for a regular release. RPWL brings most parts of music and show in their very own interpretation to your place, of course presented with special visuals.

The show will be completed by some rare played songs from their meanwhile 12 records history.

More info & tour-dates: rpwl.net


31th of October 2015, Freising (Munich)

The 'Wanted-Tour 2014' was made up of nearly forty shows and took RPWL to no less than eight countries. Now, ultimately, the fascinating live event will be performed one final time and recorded on DVD – a mesmerizing ensemble effort involving the band, theatrical elements and a multimedia spectacle.
"Not only will the show be renamed – 'A New Dawn' –, but we will additionally expand and extend certain elements and chapters. Also we will feature several guests in the show. The whole thing is set to be a true extravaganza," singer Yogi Lang explains.

Maestrick announces release of concept album divided in two parts

The new work will be successor of the acclaimed debut "Unpuzzle" released in USA, Europe and Asia by Prog Power Records

In 2011, the brazilian progressive rock/metal band Maestrick presented the music market with an invaluable work of art. The album "Unpuzzle!" brought together 11 tracks of a genial musicality, with references in artistic movements like surrealism and dialogs with several segments such as cinema, painting, literature, dance and performing arts. Back then, the musicians themselves titled Maestrick's music as a "Musical Aquarelle".
 
"Unpuzzle!" was exceptionally well received by press at the time. The album was elected among the "Best Of The Year" in all voting held by readers of Brazilian specialized magazines and sites. With the release of the album in Europe, United States and Asia in 2013 by Prog Power Records, the album also reached the international press and conquered the critics, receiving statements such as "Masterpiece" (Stormbringer - Germany), "Fascinating" (Metal Temple - Greece) and "Unique" (Lady Obscure - USA). 
 
After the tour in promotion of "Unpuzzle!" that passed by several states in Brazil, including two unforgetable shows at the festivals Roça 'N' Roll in Varginha/MG and ProgFest II in Lima, Peru, Maestrick started to focus on writting new songs for its second album. 

Still untitled, the album will be conceptual and released in two separated discs. All the structures are defined and it will bring 24 songs, with 12 in each album divided in three movements of four songs. 

According to the vocalist and pianist Fabio Caldeira, this mathematical operation has, as result, a new and big equation with multiple emotions.
"We have practically all composed and the pre-production at an advanced stage", says the musician. "Again we have a conceptual design, and again everything is flowing naturally. From an unassuming talk in my house, an idea emerged and the whole concept has been developed so far. We will have a trip, again uniting various artistic universes and divided into two parts. We decided to give attention to each disc separately, focusing on every detail, every note, every word of every song. We will have everything that Maestrick has to offer, but now on double dose!" 

The recordings of the new Maestrick album will soon begin. Names of producer and studio will soon be revealed.   

Among other news, on May 16th completed five years since the death of one of the greatest heavy metal vocalists of all time: Ronnie James Dio. Musicians from around found a way to honor the master. Maestrick was one of them that recorded a tribute to honor the legacy left by Dio. It is a new recording for Rainbow's classic "Rainbow Eyes", with the special participation of the brazilian orchestra "Belas Artes" (OBA!) under the baton of conductor Andrea Porzio Vernino

Maestrick's version for "Rainbow Eyes" was released on video. It's already available on the band's official Youtube channel: https://youtu.be/_qE00rZOgu8

Legendary Band The Syn Release Live at Rosfest CD/DVD

Album Includes Two Films on One DVD as Bonus Disc 

May 11th, 2015, London, UK – On May 12th, The Syn Live Rosfest will be available world wide. The album was released on Umbrello Records (distribution by NOVA / Universal) on April 27th in Europe, but has not previously been available in the US.  The album is a live cd recorded in 2009 at Rosfest in Philadelphia on the Syn's Big Sky tour. It also includes a bonus DVD featuring two films "The Syn in the 21st Century" and "The Making of Big Sky." 

Formed in 1965, The Syn was a precursor of the band Yes, with that band's bassist Chris Squire as one of the founding members. At various times The Syn has also included Yes alums Peter Banks and Alan White in their lineup. When the Syn played Rosfest in 2009 the band featured a core lineup of Steve Nardelli (founding member, songwriter, lead vocalist and guitarist), Francis Dunnery (of It Bites and Robert Plant fame – guitars and vocals) and Tom Brislin (Spiraling – also keyboardist on Yes' Symphonic tour – keyboards and vocals). The lineup was augmented by Paul Ramsey (Echolyn) providing drums and other percussion, Brett Kull (also of Echolyn) on guitar and Dorie Jackson doing backing and harmony vocals.

The 2009 edition was the sixth annual Rites of Spring Festival. Located in the Greater Philadelphia Area (Glenside, PA), the festival features some of the best progressive rock acts from all over the globe. Other acts at the 2009 show included Nektar, Lazuli, John Lees' Barclay James Harvest, Apocalypse, Iluvatar, Frost*, Mangala Vallis, Abigail's Ghost, Moon Safari, Moth Vellum and Touchstone.  For more information on the festival go to rosfest.com.

In a review at USA Progressive Music (usaprogmusic.com), Mike Flavin said of the Syn's Rosfest performance, "their set was an easygoing affair, with Nardelli's relaxed vocal style perfectly complimented by Dunnery's kinetic acoustic guitar and Brislin's familiar orchestral sound. Most of their set was taken from their excellent new album Big Sky, with one of the highlights for me being a very nice version of 'The Reason.'" It's worth noting that the Big Sky album was voted best progressive music album of 2009 by that same publication. The Live at Rosfest album was described by Precision Mastering as "the finest live album we have worked on." 

Two promo films are available for viewing on Youtube. The first is located at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DMewviNBjI. The second can be seen at

New album from "The Raptor Trail"

The Raptor Trail has been slowly and quietly plotting its course over the last 25 years. Founding members John Meyer and Matthew Mayes had been kicking around the idea of recording something together for decades. Finally in 2014, the planets aligned and the idea actually transcended into a studio recording project which later came to be called The Raptor Trail. The Raptor Trail was actually the first song that Meyer and Mayes wrote together for the project, and it snowballed from there, with "Gravity x Ten" following, and then ten more songs over the course of the next year.

Considering the musical backgrounds of Meyer and Mayes, one might not think the styles would mesh. Meyer coming from a harder edged, heavier guitar style; highlighted by the fact that he tunes his guitar to a "D" tuning (and no – not a normal D tuning), and Mayes coming from more of a progressive bluegrass, jamrock background; highlighted by an instrument called a Guijo ( Half Strat, Half Banjo, tuned in open G). But in reality, quite the opposite occurred. Not only did the styles mesh, but their melodic interplay and vast, yet different, musical
influences pushed one another out of their respective comfort zones. The result was the creation of some extremely prolific, diverse, and conviction-fused progressive rock music ever heard (if you had to put a tag on it).

Before the project could be completed however, there was needed one addition. Gene Bass, long time musical companion with Meyer and Mayes, was brought on to play all drums and percussion. Gene and John grew up together in Macon, Ga., playing in a number of bands together starting back in 1980. Adding to this storied history is the fact that Mayes and Bass played together for 12 years in pioneer Jamrock band Jupiter Coyote. Adding yet more history to the story is the fact that Meyer and Mayes were roommates back in those days and Meyer was actually the first sound man in that band. Meyer is also the person that came up with the name Jupiter Coyote.

So the evolving path that has lead to The Raptor Trail has taken many turns and twists over the years. But, it has somehow reunited a great and long lasting friendship between three individuals who share a unique musical chemistry and history. The music has largely been recorded in each member's home studio. Then, simply passing the files back and forth over the internet and ultimately back to Meyer who has been the mastermind behind the production and
mixing.

The self titled album will be released in digital format May 19th through Red Eye World Wide distribution. Physical CDs will be available through CD Baby June 1st, and the audio CDs will feature alternate mixes as well as a bonus track. 

Three Syn Discs Are Being Re-Released

Syndestructible, Original Syn and Big Sky Get Revisited 

May 19th, 2015, London, UK – To coincide with the release of  The Syn Live Rosfest, three older Syn albums (Syndestructible, Original Syn and Big Sky) have been re-released. The Syn Live Rosfest is a live CDrecorded in 2009 at Rosfest in Philadelphia on the Syn's Big Sky tour. It also includes a bonus DVD featuring two films "The Syn in the 21st Century" and "The Making of Big Sky." Formed in 1965, The Syn was a precursor of the band Yes, with that band's bassist Chris Squire as one of the founding members. At various times The Syn has also included Yes alums Peter Banks and Alan White in their lineup. All these albums are released on the Umbrello Records label with distribution by Nova/Universal in Europe and Alliance/Universal in America and Japan. 

Syndestructible was originally released in 2005. The lineup on the set was Steve Nardelli, Chris Squire, Gerard Johnson and brothers Paul and Jeremy Stacy. Mark Stephens of Prog Positivity said the album was "one of those rare reunion projects that surpasses the original!" He also said, "From songwriting to arrangements, and vocals and instrumentation, everything on Syndestructible is sublimely understated, creating a uniquely disarming and sensitive brand of art-rock music." At LiveWire Bill Forman said, "Titled Syndestructible, the band's 'comeback' album is a winning combination of post-Invasion Britpop and progressive rock tendencies." Writing for 20th Century Guitar Magazine, Robert Silverstein called Syndestructible "the best album of the 21st century." 

Another 2005 release, Original Syn is a double disc set. Musicians on the album include Andrew Pryce Jackman and Gerard Johnson (keys),  Steve Nardelli, Chris Slater, Denny Ward, Ayshea Brough (vocals), Martyn Adelman, Gunnar Hákonarson and John Bowring (drums), Peter Banks, James Nisbet, John Wheatley and John Painter (guitar) and Chris Squire and Steve Gee (bass). The first disc is made up quite literally of Original Syn music from the 1960s. The second CD included new music from the reformed Syn. Reviewer Henry Potts said, "Original Syn is well worth getting. There is some classic '60s music, there is some great new music, there are some historical oddities and it is all put together behind a great cover." 

Big Sky originally saw a 2009 release. The album features a core lineup of cofounder/band leader Steve Nardelli, Francis Dunnery (ex-It Bites) and Tom Brislin (currently touring with Renaissance). Robert Silverstein of 20th Century Guitarsaid, "Big Sky offers a unique, 21st century mod-prog rock recording that's just as inclined to draw on electronica, acoustica, World Beat, jazz and lyrical, Dylan-esque folk. With ten tracks clocking in at 54 minutes, on Big Sky many musical treasures can be discovered on a big musical canvas."

Amadeus Awad to release “Death Is Just A Feeling” in late August.

Middle East's progressive mastermind Amadeus Awad is back with "Death Is Just A Feeling" 
Featuring an all star lineup: Anneke Van Giersbergen (The Gathering, Ayreon, The Gentle Storm), Arjen Lucassen (Ayreon, Guilt Machine, Stream of Passion), Elia Monsef (Ostura, Amadeus Awad), Marco Minnemann (Joe Satriani, Steven Wilson, The Aristocrats) and Jimmy Keegan (Spocks Beard, John Waite, Santana).

The new album from Lebanese maestro Amadeus Awad will be released worldwide on the 20th of August 2015 via Melodic Revolution Records. As with previous releases from Awad, "Death Is Just A Feeling" is a concept album and contains 6 tracks clocking in at around 47 minutes with one instrumental track. 

According to Amadeus: 
This album is the result of: "my personal experience with death, both the tragic loss of loved ones (Father, Brother and a Best Friend) as well as my own attempt of committing suicide, which I contemplated more than once at a certain stage in my life."

For his newest opus, Amadeus chose some of the best names in the business to collaborate with, "each one of the characters in the story represents a certain side of me, and I wanted myself to be represented by the greatest personalities in the progressive rock/metal world; being able to work with my idols is a great honor"

Amadeus is always stretching the boundaries with his music and lyrics, and it's no different with his new album, he is opening up and revealing his most inner and darkest secrets and coming to terms with death. "Death is just a Feeling" is his finest work to date.

The album was mixed and mastered by Brett Caldas-Lima at Tower Studios.

Anneke Van Giersbergen: Vocals.

QUEENSRYCHE Announce New Album, Condition Human

QUEENSRYCHE Announce New Album, Condition Human
Direct Support On Scorpions Tour In North America
Band Releases New Song "Arrow Of Time"

Against the formidable obstacles of an ever-changing cultural landscape, the rise and fall of various musical trends, and the near collapse of the record industry itself, QUEENSRŸCHE secured a triumphant legacy as one of hard rock's most respected and celebrated acts, selling 30 million albums around the world across a 30-plus-year career. 

The much-anticipated new offering, Condition Hüman, sees vocalist Todd LaTorre deliver the performance of a lifetime on what is now his sophomore recording effort with the band. Produced by Zeuss (Rob Zombie, Hatebreed, Sanctuary) in the band's native Washington, Condition Hüman is a new mountain towering over many of the peaks and valleys of the hard rock landscape. Look for the album via Century Media Records on Oct 2nd. Pre-Orders are available now at http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/queensryche 

The epic album opening track, "Arrow of Time," can be heard now exclusively at the link below


Also, don't miss QUEENSRŸCHE on tour as direct support to the legendary Scoprions across North America from Sept 10th to Oct 9th. For all dates head either see below or head over to www.queensrycheofficial.com  

The band's name is uttered in the same breath as many of the groups they looked to as influences and others who arose as peers. Queensrÿche built a dedicated legion of fans traveling the globe on tour with fellow rock giants like Iron Maiden, Guns N' Roses, Metallica, Judas Priest, and Def Leppard. In recent years, they've consistently delivered high-octane live shows combining the hungry fire of a new band with the tempered experience of master showmen. Even with eleven gold and platinum plaques and a several Top 10 hard rock anthems woven into the very fiber of the genre, Queensrÿche won't relent. In fact, they're in the throes of a jaw-dropping creative resurgence.

Greg Lake's Legendary 1981 Performance At the Hammersmith Odeon In London To Be Issued On CD & Vinyl


Los Angeles – Purple Pyramid Records will be releasing legendary Greg Lake's live album from the Hammersmith Odeon in London, November 5, 1981, featuring guitar hero Gary Moore on CD & vinyl! The concert recording features ELP and King Crimson classic tracks such as "Lucky Man", "Karn Evil 9", "21st Century Schizoid Man" and "In The Court of The Crimson King", as well as songs from his critically acclaimed first solo album from 1981. As a founding member of King Crimson and Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Greg Lake has been a major force in music for over 40 years. He has long been considered a legendary voice and musical powerhouse whose impact changed the landscape of rock and roll. Many simply refer to him as "The Voice".

The Greg Lake Band made its live debut on one of the biggest stages available to it, the annual Reading Festival in England in August 1981. Much of the set was new to the audience – Greg's first solo album would not be released for another month. But the band received a wild reception regardless, and there were enough old favorites on display to ensure the fans remained happy…including the show opener "Fanfare for the Common Man," truly one of the most effective showstoppers ever to have opened a concert.

The band's full tour kicked off in October. Purposefully, Lake demanded smaller venues, the theaters and universities that truly represented a refreshing change from the monster domes he'd visited the last time he hit the road in 1977 with ELP. The string of shows launched in Wales, at Aberystwyth University, then moved onto Cardiff University, Dunstable Queensway Hall, Norwich University, Liverpool Royal Court Theatre, Newcastle Mayfair, Glasgow University, Edinburgh Playhouse, Sheffield Lyceum, University of Kent Canterbury, Birmingham Odeon, Leicester Polytechnic, Bournemouth Winter Gardens, Exeter University, St Austell Cornwall Coliseum, Crawley Leisure Centre and, finally, London's Hammersmith Odeon.

It was not an extravagant performance - no lasers, no levitating keyboards, no priceless Persian carpets. The myths and legends that surrounded ELP when they toured were all firmly locked away. The Greg Lake Band toured like a band, and on stage they simply took up their positions and played. Brilliantly.

That last date on the tour is where this disc was recorded, in front of 2,000 fans who now had every note of Greg's new album memorized, and the rest of the set firmly entrenched in their DNA: the snatch of "Karn Evil 9" that eased out of the opening "Fanfare"; "Love You Too Much," the song Lake co-wrote with Dylan in what remains another of the tantalizing collaborations of the age; "Retribution Drive" and "The Lie" from Greg Lake. "21st Century Schizoid Man" and "The Court Of The Crimson King," from Lake's stint with King Crimson, wrapped up the evening in positively rhapsodic fashion, and, finally, "C'est La Vie," from ELP's Works. (The version of this track included on the CD is taken from a show in New York City 1981)

"A single night at the tail end of a single tour, alive with promise, bristling with presence. And welcoming back some new friends, too" - Dave Thompson, writer

Tracks:
Medley: Fanfare For The Common Man / Karn Evil 9
Nuclear Attack
The Lie
Retribution Drive
Lucky Man
Parisienne Walkways
You Really Got A Hold On Me
Love You Too Much
21st Century Schizoid Man
In The Court Of The Crimson King
Bonus Track: C'est La Vie (Live in NYC 1981)

SWEET RELIEF JOINS WITH X GUITARIST – BILLY ZOOM – IN CANCER FIGHT


As was previously announced, punk legend, legendary guitarist and all-around nice guy, Billy Zoom, was recently diagnosed with an aggressive form of bladder cancer.  Zoom immediately began chemo treatment and his fellow bandmates, along with manager Mike Rouse, called out to the fans and music community, alike, to help support Zoom and his family during this difficult time.  The response was overwhelming, far surpassing the original goal of $50,000 in a matter of days.  

Now, The Music Cancer Fund @SweetRelief will be working with Billy Zoom and his family through their Directed Artist Funds program. The program was created to assist individuals with long term expenses and treatment for cancer and other severe illnesses or disabilities.   Program services include guidance on medical bills and insurance plans as well as after care patient resources. Sweet Relief will also assist with fundraising events, managing contributions and providing charitable tax receipts.  

Rob Max, Executive Director at Sweet Relief

"X and Billy Zoom have been amazing supporters of our cause to assist musicians for the past two decades. We are grateful and honored to be working with Billy and his family." 

Some artists face such overwhelming financial and personal distress when major illness or injury is coupled with a complete lack of, or have a grossly under insured health plan.  Even with the best of health insurance, treatment can take a toll on the financial well-being of someone in terms of lost wages and other daily living expenses that one typically has. 

The Mission of SWEET RELIEF is simple:  Sweet Relief Musicians Fund provides financial assistance to all types of career musicians who are struggling to make ends meet while facing illness, disability, or age-related problems.  In other words, Healing Musicians in Need.  We all have received so much out of music, it's time to give a little back! 

While Zoom battles this dreadful disease, his bandmates have made the difficult choice to continue their previously planned summer tour, in support of Billy.  Exene, John Doe and DJ Bonebrake are joined by Texas guitar player,Jesse Dayton (Waylon Jennings, Supersuckers) sitting in for the iconic guitarist temporarily.

DOMINATION (Argentina) - New EP "My Name is Alice"

Godsticks pretty excited to release the second video from our forthcoming album, Emergence.

We're pretty excited to release the second video from our forthcoming album, Emergence.  Filmed in various locations in deepest darkest Sheffield, England this is the single edit of the opening track of the new album called 'Below the Belt'.  The album version is actually a little longer, featuring a heavy and intense instrumental section.  You can watch it on our Facebook page, or on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/jkVNXQxv_IM

This particular song is actually one of the most challenging songs we've written, and it took many, many different forms during the *gulp* almost 12 months it took to write - that's how long it took to finally nail the groove we were looking for.  Anyway, this is one of our favourite tracks from the new album!  Let us know what you think by commenting on YouTube or Facebook.

If you want to be one of the first people to receive your copy of Emergence, then you can pre-order atwww.godsticks.co.uk/shop.  All pre-ordered CDs will be signed by the band and will include: a free digital version of the album and remixes of two tracks by Bruce Soord from The Pineapple Thief, available for download on the release date [4th September 2015].  As you can see from the 'Press' section below, a few reviews of Emergence have already been published, and we're very grateful for the positive reaction.

In other news, we will be supporting Tony MacAlpine on part of his European tour this autumn!  In addition to two dates in the U.K., we will also be playing shows in Germany, France, Italy and Spain.  For full details and ticket links just head on over to our website at: www.godsticks.co.uk/gigs.  Prior to the Tony MacAlpine tour, we'll be playing our new material at a few shows in and around South Wales - including Geckgo Festival on the 23rd August, an extreme sports festival set in the heart of the Welsh countryside.

Chris Braide, Ash Soan & Lee Pomeroy Launch This Oceanic Feeling With Debut Album “Universal Mind”

New exciting three-piece This Oceanic Feeling, fronted by prominent singer/songwriter and producer Chris Braide, has announced the release of their debut album Universal Mind on 17th July 2015 through Cherry Red Records.

Chris and drummer Ash Soan had developed a strong musical connection as founder members of The Producers with Trevor Horn, before Braide moved to the US in 2009. When they linked up again, the old chemistry was still there and the idea of forming a new band immediately took shape.

The muse was swiftly awakened and an album's worth of new songs came to life, the lyrics facing the unresolved dualism between fake and real self and their eternal fight for dominance. "It's a positive album, one that I'm proud of and one that I had to make" - says Braide enthusiastically.

Outstanding bassist Lee Pomeroy was called to join Chris and Ash in their distinctive creative venture and This Oceanic Feeling was born. Braide compares the album's sound to 'The Police or YES 90125 era, big shiny new wave pop music with rock trousers on and occasionally prog sandals!'

The 12 songs on Universal Mind feature some of the most rich, dynamic musicianship of 2015. In times of self-obsession, virtual personas and overpowering ego, the thought-provoking lyrics are bound to strike a chord with the more conscious listener.

For all those liking their melody with a meaningful aftertaste, this is possibly your album of the year; take the journey across its cinematic landscape, from darkness to light, to escape the person you were and embrace the person you really are.

Tracklist as follows:
1. Lie Detector
2. Put Down The Gun
3. Radio
4. Logotherapy
5. Universal Mind
6. Intensive Care
7. Wake Up
8. I Play Debussy
9. Johnny Tragic
10. Karma Camera
11. Season of Light
12. Finale

About This Oceanic Feeling

Chris Braide's prestigious curriculum includes producing and writing songs for Beyonce, Lana del Rey, Paloma Faith, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, David Guetta and Sia amongst others. He recently produced and co-wrote Marc Almond's new album The Velvet Trail.

As well as performing in the band for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Concert (Tom Jones, Robbie Williams etc) and for the return of ELO in Hyde Park last year, bass and guitar specialist Lee Pomeroy has worked in the past with Rick Wakeman, It Bites and James Morrison; more recently was busy performing with Steve Hackett on the 2014 Genesis Revisited Tour and is currently working with Take That.

British drummer Ash Soan has played with the likes of Adele, Lily Allen, Rumer, Mark Owen, Cher, Dido, The Wanted, Nelly Furtado and on Billy Idol's latest album Kings And Queens of the Underground.
