The CD version of All Too Human - "Juggernaut" is now officially available worldwide through http://www.alltoohuman.net/discography3.htm as well as through Nightmare Records (http://www.nightmare-records.com/). "Juggernaut" is the long-awaited follow up to 2002's Entropy, featuring special guest keyboardist, Derek Sherinian (ex- Dream Theater). More info is available through our official website- www.alltoohuman.net.
BIOGRAPHY- After an incessantly long hiatus from the music scene, ALL TOO HUMAN returns in full force with their long anticipated CD, "Juggernaut".
Vocalist Gordon Tittsworth (IMAGES OF EDEN) has joined forces with ALL TOO HUMAN, his voice and style matching perfectly with the vision and style of the band. Co-founders Maurice Taylor (Bass) and Chris Lucci (Drums) deliver again with driving force, pummeling and pulsating behind every virtuoso guitar effort of Clint Wilson.
Their music has often been compared with classic progressive metal artists like Iron Maiden, Sevendust, Alice In Chains, Tool, Nevermore, Soilwork, Symphony-X and this album is no exception as it portrays all the intimate beauty and power of this genre with an additional modern edge. From the opening riff and drum intro of the straight forward metal "Juggernaut", to the closing of "Catharsis", to the musical insanity of "Arrhythmia", this band delivers an exceptional effort creating a very big sound.

Stephen Stills & Kenny Wayne Shepherd form blues rock supergroup "The Rides"
"THE RIDES" - the new all-star blues rock supergroup featuring
guitarist Stephen Stills (Buffalo Springfield, CSN, CSN&Y), guitarist
Kenny Wayne Shepherd and keyboardist Barry Goldberg (Electric Flag)
release their debut album "Can't Get Enough" on CD, digitial download,
and vinyl in the UK on Monday 26th August via Provogue Records.
Produced by Jerry Harrison (Talking Heads), the generation-spanning
trio has co-written originals and recorded covers of classics by Muddy
Waters, Elmore James, Neil Young and Iggy and the Stooges. "Can't Get
Enough" was inspired by - and is an homage to - the now classic 1968
album Super Session, which featured Stills on guitar on one side, and
the late Mike Bloomfield on the other (Bloomfield had founded Electric
Flag with Goldberg, who also played on Super Session, as did Blood,
Sweat & Tears keyboardist Al Kooper).
Described by Stills as "the blues band of my dreams", the project
began with Stills and Goldberg writing together at their mutual
manager Elliot Roberts' recommendation. "It was like finding a long
lost soul brother" says Goldberg (who hadn't met Stills before, their
shared 1968 credit notwithstanding). "We connected on so many things,
started jamming, and soon had begun writing our first song."
When Kenny Wayne Shepherd arrived, The Rides' three-way chemistry
immediately clicked. "The Rides are a perfect mix of generations,
where three musicians who love and play the blues collide and create
music that goes beyond all our other individual life experiences and
career achievement," says 35-year-old, Shepherd, who's had six #1
Blues albums. "Stephen and I have rock backgrounds as well, but the
blues is the fabric that holds this all together.
That exhilarating creative sorcery blasts through ten tracks, four of
them Stills, Shepherd, Goldberg co-writes, including the album-opening
barnburner "Roadhouse" - about the life of an itinerant bluesman - the
melodic, CSN-esque "Don't Want Lies," and the title track, a groove
soaked, guitar-heavy anthem with a soul-baring lead vocal by Stills.
Other highlights include a Crazy Horse-calibre interpretation of
"Rockin' in the Free World". "Everyone gets off on this one," says
Goldberg, "it's just a ton of electricity on this Neil Young classic."
The Rides embark on a world tour beginning in September, with UK
November dates to be confirmed in the coming weeks.

Hostages Frontman and Founder Ray Vaughn Readies New Album Featuring Some Name Brand Players and Produced By Grammy Winner Michael Rosen
The album's producer Michael Rosen commented "Sometimes if you are lucky life and art comes full circle. I began my career working with Ray Vaughn while he was in Hostages and I was a wet behind the ears aspiring Producer and Engineer. Now 25 years later, we finally got to make the record we were supposed to make. Working with Ray was a wonderful experience artistically and personally. I feel we were able to combine the heart and spirit of what we started back then with the wisdom and perspective of a lifetime. I 'm very proud of Ray and this record."
In the fall of 1979, Ray Vaughn formed the Hostages. Having previously spent 6 years in England, first in London and then Birmingham, Vaughn was broadsided and inspired by the exploding music scene around him in the UK at the time, and he brought those influences back home.
He moved back to his native San Francisco in late 1978. The music scene he stumbled into upon his return was the antithesis of the scene that drove him away years earlier. In its place were The Mabuhay Gardens, the Deaf Club, and later Club Foot, Valencia Tool and Die, Sound of Music, and the 181 Club, to name just a few of the new and repurposed venues. "What could a poor boy do" but play in a band? The band eventually moved into a 3500-square foot warehouse space in the South of Market (SOMA) neighborhood in late 1980 and created their own venue, throwing monthly rent parties to get by. The space was christened Crab Palace.
BAM Magazine said of Ray's performance with Hostages… "Ray Vaughn's lead vocals are powerful and crisp and he sang with deliberate emphasis on the lyrics, which were decidedly political, especially in songs like "Sucking the Life From the City" and Now. Vaughn moved onstage much like a Jellyfish with rhythmic jerks and a smooth underlying sexuality in his vocal tones and in his eyes."
Hostages released their first 45 single, Inside Houses/Now in 1983, followed by the Inside Houses video. Hostages disbanded in 1984 with their final performance at Graffiti on Valencia Street in San Francisco. A live recording of that show remains in the Hostages vault.
Vaughn and guitarist Ed Rawlings continued as a duo playing under the name Part Two, then Human Condition, before settling on Die Bossa Nova. Die Bossa Nova added keyboardist Mitzi Johnson, who was later replaced by Scott Davies, bass player Stephen Winkle and drummer Mark V and continued playing and recording until their break up in June of 1991.
June 25th, 2013 marks the release of his new full-length album Way Down Low, which will be available in stores and online. For more information please visit www.rayosomusic.com or on Facebook and on Twitter at twitter.com/rayosomusic. Ray Vaughn will be performing in San Francisco at Bottom of the Hill on June 6th and in the New York Tri-State Area in July of 2013.

Innovative French Music Artist Marcus To Release Debut Solo Album 'Catch 22' – June 18, 2013
Paris, France – There's magic in the music of songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Marcus Linon. Passion, urgency, energy, gorgeous melodies and creative lyrics, served by a sharp voice that sometimes reminds you of Peter Hammill's. Here are some of the attributes of Marcus, a talented young musician from Paris, whose first album, 'Catch 22', is about to be released. Add to this the fact that Marcus plays all the instruments, great multi-layered drumming, incisive guitar riffs, melodic keyboards and you have the foundation for a serious talent to pay attention to.
Says Marcus, "At the time I did this record, the most important thing was to try and do something that's special/different, the structures of the songs, the sound. I wanted to try and do something that's 'easy to listen' for the majority of people, but when you go deeper, you realize it is much more complex than what it lets you hear the first time you listen to it."
Growing-up in a family of musicians, Marcus became a talented drummer before evolving into an instinctive guitarist. His sharp and precise voice perfectly complements songs deeply anchored in a solid rock foundation. Catch 22 has the energy of pure rock and incorporates complex melodic structures veering sometimes towards pop, folk, even east-Indian music. Son of legendary Stella Vander (Magma, Offering), Marcus directed the Magma 'EPOK' DVD series, and developed/executes the very sharp light design for Magma's tours.
Marcus's voice will grab you. His songs are not the kind that you easily forget. They will catch you off-guard, carry you into a passionate universe and sweep you off the floor. Don't just take my word for it, listen to "We are life and love" with its burning urgency, "Skyzophrenia" or "A boxful of eyes" with their fantastic lyrics just to name 3 titles from an album that you will play again and again, every time an opportunity to discover something new.
Says Marcus about his new CD, "I often say that it's a drummer's album. Because everything is based on rhythms and all the inspiration for the arrangements came from the drum parts (which is my first instrument). At the time I played little guitar, but I had no idea how to write songs (in the traditional sense), I just tried to let out the melodies and rhythms that I had in my head as naturally as possible. And simply not try and control them, just played them as they came out. This was the key to make it different. For the lyrics, I had precise melodies but usually only a few words, sentences, or a general idea of what I wanted to sing about. And it's my spiritual godmother and great writer Mary-Noelle Dana (Mano) who helped me put it together and wrote the majority of the lyrics."
It is exciting to watch a new great talent on the musical scene. Marcus is one of a kind, the kind of artist who make our lives better and is here to remind us to live a passionate life, with the energy and urgency of youth!
To purchase Marcus 'Catch 22' CD: http://v2.seventhrecords.com/catalogue-ex-tension-33/marcus-and-the-music-catch-22--1128.html
The CD will also be available on iTunes, Deezer, Amazon and other online outlets.

Street Symphonies Records presents Saturday Overdose
Street Symphonies Records is pleased to announce that Saturday Overdose inked a deal to release the EP "Eat My Dust!".
Saturday Overdose was born simply as Overdose in 2007 in Acqui Terme (Alessandria, Italy) from the idea of four school and raiding mates: Bosko Dirty Hack/Enrico Boschiazzo (vocals), Serve The Weedz/Andrea Servetti (guitar), Pana Doctor Gonzo/Andrea Panaro (bass) and Machine Gun Kocks/Filippo Galli (drums). After some unsuccessful performances playing covers at school parties, in 2008 the band split. In 2009, the four friends join their enthusiasm and get back on track, writing their first original song. The moniker becomes Saturday Overdose and it well represents their 80's- inspired, "party-loving" sound. After several gigs, the band's skills and songwriting are stepped up and the first demo is released. The band carries on the tour and, in the beginning of 2013, records the EP "Eat My Dust!" at Federico Pennazzato's Authoma Studios (Hell In The Club, Secret Sphere). This work features five tracks that perfectly combine 80's-inspired hard rock and modern atmospheres, creating a unique infectious sound, a catchy explosion of melody, and a couple of extremely classy ballads. The pursuit of a label ends soon with a deal inked for Street Symphonies Records.
"Eat My Dust!" is scheduled for release in summer.

SOUND OF CONTACT to Close Saturday at ProgDay 2013!
After making 3 solo albums SIMON COLLINS (son of musician PHIL COLLINS) decided to try something he had always wanted to do - a band of his own; a group of artists that shared a vision with whom he could collaborate musically and lyrically. That band became SOUND OF CONTACT. Featuring Simon on vocals and drums, DAVE KERZNER (SONIC REALITY, KEVIN GILBERT) on keyboards, and MATT DORSEY and KELLY NORDSTROM trading off on guitar and bass, SOUND OF CONTACT have created a sound all their own while paying homage to the greats of classic prog rock and electronica. With their debut release Dimensionaut, they hit the ground running with a deep concept album about a dimensional time and space traveler and his journey to expand the borders of the human experience.
ProgDay is pleased to announce that SOUND OF CONTACT will be closing out the show on Saturday, September 1. The touring edition of the band finds JOHN WESLEY (PORCUPINE TREE, FISH) handling the guitar duties and the addition of RONEN GORDON on drums. The band will be performing Dimensionaut in it's entirety and a few surprises along the way.
SOUND OF CONTACT (US) will join THANK YOU SCIENTIST (US) and SIMAKDIALOG (Indonesia) at ProgDay 2013, the nineteenth edition of the world's longest running progressive rock festival. ProgDay 2013 will take place on Saturday, August 31st, and Sunday, September 1st, at Storybook Farm in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

Seconds Before Landing Releases Full-Length Album: The Great Deception
Ambient rock collective releases futuristic concept album to high anticipation
UNITED STATES – Seconds Before Landing, the ambient rock collective
formed by composer and musician John Crispino, has released its first
full-length album. The 14-track concept album, entitled The Great
Deception, features original music from Crispino, as well as a number
of guest talents from notable musical followings.
The Great Deception follows the conceptual idea of a dystopian world,
set not far into the future. Drawing on elements from science fiction,
the album paints a story of a post-apocalyptic planet that has been
torn and shaped by war, corruption and malevolence. Within this
ravished world, a single man comes to terms with his surroundings,
experiencing new emotions over the course of the album. With each
passing song on this 14-track album comes a new message, delivered
metaphorically through the struggles of this surviving man.
"There are a number of themes within this album that are very powerful
and I've put them together in this story about what the world would be
like if everything simply went awry," said John Crispino, Composer and
Lead Musician of Seconds Before Landing. "I believe that the science
fiction aspect, along with the stellar musical style that we've put
together, really sets a tone and a feel for what people will get out
of this album."
Along with Crispino, The Great Deception features a wide cast of
musical and vocal talents, who lend their sounds to the album in
unique ways. Among the guest musicians are Trey Gunn, Warr Guitarist
for the progressive rock band King Crimson and Tim Bogert, former
Bassist for notable 1960's and 70's rock groups Vanilla Fudge, Cactus,
and Beck, Bogert & Appice. Together with Crispino, these world-class
musicians have crafted an ambient sound that lends itself to the
identity of Seconds Before Landing.
Seconds Before Landing is a project by Crispino and showcases his
entirely original work. The group's first album, The Great Deception,
was mastered by two-time Grammy Nominee Andy Jackson, engineer of
legendary group Pink Floyd.
"I had the opportunity to work with some musical legends, as well as a
number of rising talents during the production of this album," said
Crispino. "I'm proud of what we've all accomplished. This album is the
culmination of hard work and I'm proud to finally call it completed."
The Great Deception is available for purchase via digital download in
the Seconds Before Landing online store, located at
www.secondsbeforelanding.bandcamp.com
It Is also available @ iTunes, Amazon, CdBaby and many many more.
