Artist: Thomas Thunder

New Release: Nebula

Genre: Progressive Rock

Located in: Fairhaven, Ma USA

This song is a Progressive Rock Song and explores the concept of space and specifically gas and dust from a Super Nova otherwise known as a dying star. This song is impactful because space is truly the final frontier of exploration.

This song is important to my musical direction at this time because I’ve always found space exploration interesting and a Nebula not only are regions of dying stars but are often star forming by clumping together gas and dust; which most musicians hope to be successful “stars”.

Right now I’m working on a video for Nebula which should be out shortly on my Youtube channel. The song will be out on all digital platforms as well like Spotify.

New Release: Lily

Genre: Progressive Rock Pop

Located in: Fairhaven, Ma

This song is... "Lily" is an Instrumental Progressive Rock Pop song with strong percussive elements. It has an uplifting tempo that's fun to dance to.

The music we are creating is... The music Thomas creates continues to be in the Progressive genre, primarily with strong rock overtones. This song is a little different in that it has a pop feel to it with the dance tempo and the varying percussion throughout. There are genre changes within the song, which gives it a Progressive label, so to speak, and there are rock elements as well. Not being restricted to a certain genre is what inspires Thomas to gravitate towards the Progressive genre.

Right now we are... Thomas is excited about creating a digitally animated video for the song 'Lily'. He's also planning on entering the Eventide Theater Songwriting competition for the second year in a row.

New Release: The Bull

Genre: Progressive Rock

Located in: Boston, Ma

The Bull is a Progressive Rock and Metal song that incorporates a variety of instrumentation. Guitars, bass, drums, keyboards, synth strings, brass and woodwinds. Combining traditional "rock" instruments with classical symphonic instruments is truly an auditory treat. This song is a continuation of my love for Progressive Rock. The driving beat reminds me of a bull running through a china shop. On a personal note, my family owns a French Bulldog, and she "bulldozes" into a room, jumping on furniture and knocking over pillows and everything else in her way. I was inspired to write this song because of her. This song is "Cupcake the French Bulldog's" anthem.

Right now we are... I'm happy about working on a live video of my song Night Terrors. I'm working on a Youtube channel to promote my songs and drumming videos, too. I'm also writing a few new songs.

Person Interviewing: Thomas Ferreira

Song name: Night Terrors

Music Genre:: Progressive Rock

I live in... Fairhaven, Ma. About an hour South of Boston, Ma.

Link to play:: https://soundcloud.com/user-930498945/night-terrors Night Terrors is an instrumental, progressive rock concept with horror film elements. In the words of a fan " it's the soundtrack for creepy clown nightmares". For rock fans, there's both a heavy drum and guitar element, and for prog fans there's synthesized keyboards and lots of tempo changes. If you love scary movies, this song will transport you right in the middle of a zombie apocalypse.

My music is... My music is a combination of Instrumental, Progressive Rock along with Symphonic elements. The listener is taken on a roller coaster ride of genre and tempo changes, like watching an exciting movie or reading a thrilling book. Focusing on the musicality versus the lyrics is what I want for music. Too often the musicians get overlooked in the band, and that's what my music offers: focusing on the musician.

My song Night Terrors is like my other songs in that it's both an Instrumental and Progressive Rock style. I finished writing it before Halloween, and that was the theme I was going for: writing a song for a Halloween themed movie. I would like my music to be heard not only on listening platforms like iHeart Radio, but also as a film score. I would like to see that for all of my music.

What piece of music advice forever changed your way of thinking… There are a few things that inspire my thoughts about my music. Attending School of Rock Seekonk encourages me to write my own music, and they support all my accomplishments. I'm able to perform with live bands, and listening to all different styles of music inspires me. Also, after listening to Pink Floyd's the Wall and Jesus Christ Superstar by Andrew Lloyd Weber when I was ten years-old, changed my view of music. Writing concept albums, where each song tells another part of a story, is amazing to me. I wrote my first concept album that had 19 songs, and the one song I released from that "A New Kitten" won an award at the 2018 Eventide Theater Songwriting competition in the Instrumental category.

I love to create music because it's fun, and I get to express myself however I want.

Artist: Reijo

New Release: You're The Mystery

Genre: rock music

Located in: Calgary, Alberta, Canada

This song is... 'You're The Mystery' is a beautiful and captivating rock pop/rock song with a much more modern pop groove, a sexier, soul song that is a slight departure from, but still contains Reijo's signature rock sound. The song has a duality. In the song, the writer is chasing a mysterious partner, an elusive soul, keeping the author guessing at every turn and is seemingly hard to truly find the point of connection.

The song is significant as it is representative of the changes we as a band are perceiving the world’s anxiety and how it is impacting us on a personal level. We are on the journey of exploring evaluating who we are and how that is expressed musically. This change can bring out the positive, and letting go of past can often bring profound change.

Right now we are... so excited about album number three and getting new material out there. So watch for it in early spring '19, and in meantime keep looking for single releases along the way over the next coming months.

Artist: PyraKite

New Release: Labyrinth

Genre: Rock, alternative rock

Located in: : Falun, Sweden

This song is. Labyrinth is a dystopian song about current affairs of today. There’s a lot of things happening in the world and the worlds seems more polarized and scattered than ever. This song came to me, written in just minutes and it still feels like someone else wrote it. It scared the hell outta me. But it made a great song in the end. It starts very subtle and goes inte to a crecsendo toward the end that builds up to inferno. It’s worth listening to the end.

The music we are creating is.. PyraKite gives you a poetic and mystical journey through the classic rock and pop genre. Some may say PyraKite has a unique uplifting and fresh sound.  
 7 Steps is a concept album, which means that it's best experienced from start 'til end. The story of 7 steps (with it's 7 tracks) has got just as many layers to it as you wish.  The journey starts in Antarctica and ends up in space. The music has a happy melodramatic vibe to it and has been compared to the sound of Pink Floyd, Prefab Sprout, The Beatles and Steely Dan mixed with a bit of grunge and poetic touch to it. You might also find a bit of Ben Folds Five, Paul Simon or Rival Sons in there.

Right now we are... It’s our latest single Labyrinth and we’re soon to release the music video to the same song. Stay updated by following us on social media to be sure you don’t miss out! It’s going to be awesome!

It went 3 1/2 mph and when you were done with the ride, you walked all around the park to come back to the entrance where the sign reads "The ride never ends".   Pour some whisky and tun it up.  This is our most popular tune.
