VAIN finishing new album “Enough Rope”

MusicBuyMail.eu is pleased to announce the release of a new VAIN album entitled "Enough Rope" in October 28th.  Davy Vain has a list of accomplishments under his belt few artists today can rival. Hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area, Davy began his rise as the frontman/songwriter/producer for the band Vain.

Their debut record, "No Respect" (originally released by Island Records), continues to receive critical acclaim worldwide having landed them on the cover of such notable music publications as Kerrang! and BAM. It is clearly evident from the praise garnered from the music press and more importantly other musicians, that Davy has an incredible knack for writing great songs. As the music industry progressed and changed, Davy explored his creativity and musicianship even further. Remaining true to his musical integrity each of his recordings is filled with catchy hooks and choruses, rampant with melodies, and loaded with fresh and creative guitar sounds.

Davy's voice is one of the most unique, hypnotic and original voices in rock and roll. It invokes and inspires you with a style that is entirely his own. His recorded and live performances are electric, raw, and infused with a power and magic that is as rare today as it was when Davy first started playing out.

The new amazing album "Enough Rope" follows on seamlessly from the glory days of their debut "No Respect". Even the upcoming film "Rock of Ages" with Tom Cruise pays respect to Vain by featuring posters and music of this all time classic band.

Tracklist: 01. Greener02. Enough Rope03. Stray Kitten Burns04. Hot Stage Lights05. Distance Of Love06. Cindy07. Treasure Girl08. Solid Gold09. Worship You10. Vain11. Triple X

Leslie West teams up with Slash and Bonamassa on "Unusual Suspects"

Leslie West, Legendary guitarist and the founder of one of rocks most influential bands, Mountain, will release a brand new solo album, 'Unusual Suspects', on Monday September 19th. The album features West alongside a hand-picked line-up of the world's finest guitar players; including Slash, blues-rock guitarist Joe Bonamassa, Black Label Society front man and ex-Ozzy guitarist Zakk Wylde, ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons and Toto's Steve Lukather.

Released by Provogue Records, the album follows the shocking news that, in late June, West underwent life-saving surgery, when his leg was amputated above the knee. While such an ordeal would surely deter lesser artists, West insisted on honouring the 'Unusual Suspects' album's September release date and is gearing up for a US tour in October.

"These guys don't just show up to play on everybody's albums," says West on his special guests and the album's title. "They're all stars in their own right, and fantastic players - everyone with their own sound and style, about as far from the usual suspects as it gets."

DOWNLOAD ALBUM NOTES
Leslie West: "Unusual Suspects" - Album Notes

Leslie West has long been a popular personality on the Howard Stern Radio Show in America.  It was Stern whom he gave an interview in late June 2011, from his hospital bed, mere days after undertaking life-saving surgery which saw his leg amputated above the knee.

On June 17th, West (a long-time sufferer of type 2 Diabetes) was aboard a long-haul flight to Mississippi to perform at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, when the limb began to swell. He was rushed to the emergency room and lost consciousness. The decision to proceed with the operation was made by his wife, Jenni, who remarks "It was his leg or his life."

Such a life-changing ordeal would surely deter other artists, but West is already looking firmly forward, insisting that Unusual Suspects' release date was not altered because of his condition. "Now I've got to figure out how to play the guitar [whilst standing] on one leg," he states, under no illusions regarding the size of the task ahead. "The prosthetic ones they have these days are really good, but of course I'm used to balancing my weight on two feet. I'm going to have to retrain myself."

LESLIE WEST - BIOGRAPHY

During the course of his 30-plus year career, Leslie West has received world-wide acclaim as one of the most innovative and influential musicians in the history of rock music. He is perhaps best known for his role as leader of the explosive trio, Mountain, who were named by VH-1 as one of the Top 100 Hard Rock Groups of all time. With Mountain, he climbed the heights of rock stardom on the strength of a completely unique, signature guitar sound and classic songs such as "Mississippi Queen", "Never In My Life", "Theme From An Imaginary Western" and "Nantucket Sleigh ride", all of which are still staples of rock radio to this day. Leslie has earned the admiration of a long list of famous peers. During his career, he has recorded or played with a plethora of rock icons including Billy Joel, Van Halen, The Who, Mick Jagger and Jimi Hendrix, to name just a few. In fact, Eddie Van Halen, Michael Schenker and Richie Sambora have all cited Leslie as a major influence on their own music.

Leslie's bold, expressive and unique guitar style is a mirror of his own personality. Spend a little time talking with this larger-than-life figure, and you'll realize that he is as charismatic without a guitar in his hands as he is with one. Possessing a sharp sense of humour, he is at once gregarious and gruff while recounting stories from his legendary past. And when discussing his newest projects, such as new album Unusual Suspects, he exudes an infectious enthusiasm and excitement.

West has never been one to rest on his impressive laurels. His boundless creativity has often involved him in projects that take him outside his traditional roles of guitarist, singer and songwriter.

In 1986, he acted alongside Tom Hanks and Shelley Long in the hit comedy film, The Money Pit and has lent his distinctive voice to the popular animated series, Beast Wars Transformers which ran for three seasons on the WB network in 1996.

Leslie West has long been a popular personality on the Howard Stern Radio Show, and it was Stern whom he gave an interview in late June 2011 from his hospital bed, mere days after undertaking life-saving surgery which saw his leg amputated above the knee.

A long-time sufferer of Diabetes; West was aboard a long-haul flight to Mississippi to perform at the Hard Rock Hotel And Casino, when the limb began to swell. He was rushed to the emergency room and lost consciousness. The decision to proceed with the operation was made by his wife, Jenni, who remarks "It was his leg or his life."

Such a life-changing ordeal would surely deter other artists, but West is already looking forward, insisting that Unusual Suspects' release date was not altered because of his condition. "Now I've got to figure out how to play the guitar [whilst standing] on one leg," he states, under no illusions regarding the size of the task ahead. "The prosthetic ones they have these days are really good, but of course I'm used to balancing my weight on two feet. I'm going to have to retrain myself."

Leslie West has been a creative force for over three decades and shows no sign of losing his ambition or his desire to continually reinvent himself. His ability to adapt his creative spirit to a diverse range of projects is a key ingredient in the longevity of this multi-faceted entertainer's success. All humans have a unique fingerprint. In the world of guitar, Leslie has that distinctive sound and tone that is unique to him. There are many clones, but few who have a voice of their own. When Leslie hits a note, you know it's him and that's what makes him one of a kind.

Last year, he also co-wrote and sang a track from  Pendulum's number one album 'Immersion'. Porcupine Tree's last album was a top 30 album in both the UK and USA, and the tour climaxed with sold out shows in October last year at Royal Albert Hall in  London and  Radio City Music Hall in New York. 

 

'Grace For Drowning' will be released on CD, vinyl and download along with a Blu-ray edition of the album. The Blu-ray disc contains the album in 5.1 surround sound with accompanying video content.

THE WIDEST SMILING FACES - Rituals - Shoegaze, Folk, Indie-rock

The Widest Smiling Faces is the project of Brooklyn-based songwriter Aviv Cohn, combining indie, post-rock and shoegaze with significant folk influences.
 
The Widest Smiling Faces self titled debut has garnered positive reviews from music critics around the world, establishing TWSF as a unique voice. The PostRock Community describes it as "absolutely amazing…insanely beautiful…a fantastic Lo-Fi record." Fresh Heirs says "One of the greatest strengths of Cohn's writing in the Widest Smiling Faces is that his vocals do not always have to carry the melody. He lets the guitar speak on its bed of reverb when necessary…I was immediately enthralled." The Sirens Sound calls the album "An incredibly good, soft, mellow, entertaining...type of sound that drift(s) from sentimental yearning to swirling motion."
 
After attracting the attention of Fluttery Records, his next release, the "Rituals" EP was born. Rituals sees a shift in Aviv's music, from acoustic to electric sounds. Warm, colorful tones producing strong sensations and evoking faded images and memories. Aviv says "The recording is a little bit different perhaps, somewhat clearer? It's really not about the melodies, it's about the images..."

Strawberry Fields - live DVD this Autumn, new album in 2012

Having released the album of his latest project Travellers, Wojtek Szadkowski allows himself no rest. Instead, he keeps working on the first Strawberry Fields DVD as well as on that same project's new studio material.

“Live Strawberry Fields” DVD was recorded on the 20th of April 2011, at Silesian Theatre in Katowice, Poland, were the band presented to their audience their very own, unique, subtly simple, magic and, at times, trip-hop-like brand of prog music, crowned with Robin’s – the band’s lead singer’s – mesmerizing, sensual voice. Szadkowski and Robin were accompanied on stage by the former’s fellow musicians from the band Satellite – Sarhan Kubeisi (guitars), Jarek Michalski (bass), Krzysztof Palczewski (keys) and the band’s new guitarist Michał Kirmuć. Together they presented their fans with a musical feast by performing songs from Strawberry Fields’ debut album “Rivers Gone Dry” as well as one previously unreleased song – “Problem” . Also, the band surprised the audience by playing new versions of two memorable songs from Satellite’s repertoire – “Don’t Walk Away in Silence” and “Is It Over” – as also a classic Collage song “Living in the Moonlight”. “Live Strawberry Fields” DVD perfectly captures the magic of that exceptional evening.

The concert at the Theatre was also a special event for the band themselves. Strawberry Fields' singer Robin comments: "Silesian Theatre in Katowice is a beautiful venue, magical even. The atmosphere of that place perfectly fit and contributed to the mood of that evening. The live DVD shows a different side of Strawberry Fields than what you can find on 'River's Gone Dry'. First and foremost, this is because we're harmonious as a band, our mutual energy keeps us going and we really enjoy playing live. Most of the songs were re-arranged into live versions. It is owing to this that the band became more consistent, its character was defined better. We hope that 'Live Strawberry Fields' will let people look at Strawberry Fields from a different perspective... that it will let them see it as a 'band'. For me, the greatest pleasure was performing Satellite's and Collage's songs. I was genuinely touched. Of course, it's not the same as hearing the original versions, it's merely a substitute, but it's enough to allow for a sentimental journey back in time."

You can find a selection of photos from the concert on Metal Mind's facebook profile as well as on band’s profile on Myspace.

The release date of “Live Strawberry Fields” DVD is scheduled for October, 17th in Europe and November, 22nd in USA (via MVD).

Metal Mind Production​s signed a record deal with the progressiv​e-rock band After

Metal Mind Productions is proud to announce the release of the third studio album by the Polish progressive rock band After.... The album entitled "No Attachments" will be out on the 21st of November in Europe and on the 6th of December in the US.

The band After... was formed in 2002 in Wloclawek. In November 2005, they released their debut album "Endless Lunatic", featuring guest appearances by Colin Bass (Camel), Józef Skrzek (SBB) and Jacek Zasada (Quidam). To promote the album, the band played several concerts in Poland and Western Europe, sharing the stage, among others, with Fish, Quidam, Riverside, and Sylvan. The year 2008 marked a number of successes: in April, After... embarked on a tour with the British band Galahad and performed at the 3rd edition of Art-Rock Festival in Poznań (together with Galahad, Antimatter and Mangrove); in June, they played at the German Art-Rock festival in Reichenbach (together with Pallas, Spock's Beard, Mostly Autumn and Blind Ego). Also in June, that same year, their second studio album "Hideout" was released. The new album was very well received both in Poland and abroad - soon after the release it became one of the best-selling albums of the biggest German independent distribution company Just For Kicks Music; it also became the album of the month (December 2008) of the Brazilian web site Progressive Rock & Progressive Metal. In 2009, After... went on tour together with Quidam (Poland, Czech Republic, Germany and Holand). The same year, the band played at the Crescendo festival in France and InoRock festival in Inowroclaw (together with Steve Hackett Band, Nosound and Indukti). In 2010, keyboard player Tomek Wisniewki parted ways with the band and, with the line-up consisting of 5 musicians, After... started working on their next album. In January 2011, their first live album "Live at Home", was released.

The third studio album "No Attachments" marks the beginning of a new exciting era in the band's career. Not only will it be released by Metal Mind Productions, but it is also being produced in cooperation with the musicians of acclaimed British act The Pineapple Thief.

 The band's guitarist Czarek Bregier explains how it came to this co-operation: "While working on the new album, we wanted to change something, give it a new and different sound. We wanted someone to look at our material from a different perspective. We decided to have the album mixed and mastered at a different studio, though we had no idea where that should be. We very much liked the production of the last Pineapple Thief album so we decided to contact the Audiomaster studio, where it had been recorded. It turned out that The Pineapple Thief's keyboard player Steve Kitch actually worked there, and so our cooperation started in a very natural way. The band's singer and guitarist Bruce Soord also started to work with us on those recordings, which certainly made the album's sound richer. Mastering will be handled by Steve Kitch and Mark Bowyer. Soon, you'll have a chance to listen to the results of our cooperation."

 After… - line-up:
Krzysiek Drogowski – vocals
Czarek Bregier – guitars
Wojtek Tymiński - guitars
Mariusz Ziółkowski - bass
Radek Więckowski - drums
