Alex & Friends Release Second Album: “Some Winter Tales”

http://mi2n.com/press.php3?press_nb=179942

After the angry ‘One Thing Left” published in 2012, Alex & Friends are back with the quieter yet infectuous ‘Some Winter Tales’ and the timing – with Christmas coming to town – couldn’t be more spot on.

The combo here is at its best. Pierre Alexander’s disenchanted songs are brought into life by an intricate combination of 70’s like ambiant rock and more pop-oriented tunes. The beautiful piano-driven ballad ‘Glamorous Glow’ is a perfect introduction to Alex & Friends’ classy approach to pop music, while ‘Losing Ground’ and ‘Speed Limit’ remind the listener of how good this band is at wrapping up catchy nasty singles.

As for the majestic ‘Christmas Day’ with its epic ending, a hundred listens might not be enough to capture its dark and poisonous beauty.

A very special Christmas present for a decidedly very special band.

New Release From Blujon

http://mi2n.com/press.php3?press_nb=174644

 

Following the success of the band’s first release in many years “Good Man Feeling Bad”, which topped the Spanish Indie Chart (Reverbnation), much has happened.

The band’s European success triggered the foundation of a supporters club called the Rockers. The name comes form the Blackpool Rock sound, which the band was a part of in the early 1980s. Within twenty four hours the band had attracted over 177,000 plays and signed up over 9000 supporters.

The follow up track Destiny Is A Hard Road is the title track of the band’s new album is to be release this week. Destiny Is A Hard Road is a gentle song with a more personal message. The song is a real departure form the solid Good Man Feeling Bad sound.

Blujon was born in Blackpool, Lancashire in the early 80s. Since then the band has grown to become a truly European band with international support. The current line up is Krasi Zorbov (the Voice and Guitar of Blujon) is from Bulgaria, Will Fletcher (Keyboards) and Tommy Duffy (Bass), are both from the UK and Grazy Carol (Drums and Percussion) is from Venice Italy.

Blujon is currently recording in the UK and Bulgaria and plan to return to their Spanish Base in August.

WORLD5 To Release New Single ‘Maybe There’s A Way’ June 18

The track is the second single from their upcoming LP release, due out in fall of 2013. “Maybe There’s a Way” comes hot on the heels of their popular single track, “Man of Action,” which debuted in March of this year and immediately shot to the National Top 100 Airplay Chart.



“Maybe There’s a Way” is unlike “Man of Action” in terms of tempo and groove, being a mellower romantic ballad in the tradition of artists like Phil Collins, Sting, and Yes, whereas “Man of Action” recalls the clean-channel, poppy orchestra rock of 80s favorite, Joe Jackson (“Is She Really Going Out With Him”). Where “Man of Action” stood up and shouted, “Maybe There’s a Way” leans in and croons. It is a heartfelt, touching song with hints of country around its edges and rock ‘n’ roll in its great, big heart.



As usual, the flawless, earnest singing of Grammy Award winner Pat Hunt claims much of the song’s spotlight. The soaring lead guitar work of Steffen Goeres is gloriously clarion and prominent. Fellow Grammy winner Randy Miller’s bass is precise and flowing, in perfect harmony with drummer Raimund Breitfeld’s subtle power, the keys lay way back and create a curtain of delicate sound against which everything else stands out.



In other words, WORLD5 has recorded another spotless, almost painfully perfect single. “Maybe There’s a Way” manages to be sad and strong at the same time, powerful and genteel, a work of great artistry with rock and roll as a canvas and classic rock sensibilities for a paint palette. Viewed as a pairing with “Man of Action,” “Maybe There’s a Way” continues to prove that music fans of the world have much to look forward to with WORLD5’s forthcoming full-length album. With any luck, they won’t have to wait long.



“Maybe There’s a Way” by WORLD5 is available online worldwide 18 June 2013.
