Michael Alan

West Yorkshire’s acclaimed guitarist Michael Alan delivers news of his video release for the melodically charged rock guitar ballad ‘Thank You’. Taken from his forthcoming and unashamedly instrumental debut album ‘Calling’ – the track ascends from its classical guitar themed introduction into heavier melodic rock adventures. Soaring anthemic melodies and emotive hook lines, re-occurring motifs and articulately arranged song dynamics all add to the flowing sense of drama and feeling encased in Michael’s latest and ‘stream only’ release. https://youtu.be/tXYvpjFawvI

Formerly releasing under the moniker of MK or Mike Kremastoules – the Leeds (UK) born and bred musician frequently draws stylistic comparisons to greats such as Gary Moore, Bill Nelson, Dave Gilmour, Joe Satriani and many more. After paying his dues as the lead guitarist in 80’s NWOBHM movement outfits Ded Ringer (Neat Records) and Streetfighter, Michael continued to maintain his presence on the British rock scene whilst embarking on a career as a professional actor. Artistically inspired during the pandemic lockdown of 2020, Michael produced a collection of guitar-driven instrumentals that reflected his deep love of classic rock, blues, metal and progressive rock. A diverse range of compositions shaped to have their own individual voice and unique character. This material has since evolved into the finely crafted works that all feature on his Calling album and co-produced with Dave Johnson (Spellsound Studios -UK).Those already familiar with Michael’s work may have heard the retro hard rock fuelled ‘Run’ and the ballad- like single ‘Butterfly’. Two well received and contrasting offerings that garnered much support from independent press/radio stations across the UK and far beyond. These singles and his new release ‘Thank You’ – all provide an insight into a mature performer striving to create memorable and timeless melodies. His focus has never been to try and push the boundaries of modern guitar playing techniques. Michael Alan’s guitar is his ‘voice’ and his music aspires to express what words fail to say through sheer melody, tonality, dynamics and most of all – emotion.The British artist (with proud Greek heritage) is now joined at live shows by fellow comrades Dave Johnson (Guitar), Lincoln J Roth (Bass) and Bob Pears (Drums). Official news announcements of his Calling debut album shall be arriving soon.

Marvel Years

Multi-instrumentalist/producer Marvel Years melds guitar instrumentation with studio beat-making to create the soulful, bass-heavy signature sound that’s landed him multiple performances at Red Rocks alongside ZHU, STS9, and Pretty Lights. He’s performing at Same Same But Different as the guitarist in Manic Focus’ live band. Last month, the NY-based artist dropped Voyage Ahead Pt. 1 EP, a 5-track sonicjourney that saw Marvel Years elevate his standard live guitar recordings by playing each instrumental element himself in places where he would have previous used samples. The EP included singles like “Come This Far” – a collaboration with electronic music keyboardist Jason Leech (who’s opened for Galantis, GRiZ, and Big Gigantic) and vocalist Jess Lamb.

No, This is Patrick

No, This Is Patrick! is a “heavy pop punk” band based out of Nashville TN. Originally formed in 2015 by guitarists Sean Naples and Matt Issacs, the lineup didn’t take its true shape until 2018. With a few line up changes the core members have now found their true brothers in arms with Vocalist Andrew Dorn, Bassist Ben McAnelly and Drummer Truman House. Their self-titled debut album was a very pop punk/easycore jamfest, but it was primarily based on things that Sean and Matt had written during those unstable first years, so they knew they wanted to expand with the new solid lineup of insanely talented musicians. The band set about writing a second album, and were promptly stopped in their tracks by the pandemic. Over the past 2+ years they have been doing everything in their power to put this record together in whatever ways are possible. Now it’s finally ready to start being revealed to the world and it is something very special. Primarily a pop punk band, NTIP don’t sound like anyone else in their genre. This record especially utilises sounds and influences across many different genres. These first two singles, “Good Times” and “Shedding Light” are great examples of the diversity of the record. The album is about the many facets of life, finding the strength to carry on in dark times, especially ones with no end in sight, and the music reflects these themes. With expressions of anger, frustration, and despair NTIP always realigns with hope and determination. With the songs representing so much about the five of them, No, This is Patrick! connect with their fans on a deep level. Communicating honestly through their music about their struggles, their worries and the things that they care about.

Aliza Hava

Award-winning singer-songwriter Aliza Hava leads us on a deeply personal journey on soulful new single “Emotion Tide,” which delves into the pain and healing of letting yourself fully feel and express the heavy grief of a broken relationship. With an intricate genre-blended instrumentation that weaves the warm sultriness of Spanish guitars into the lush sensibilities of electric and acoustic guitars as well as synths, punctuated by rhythmic beats, the track is led by Aliza’s ethereal vocals which capture cathartic message that sees emerge stronger after a difficult time. A fan favourite track that’s resonated with audiences every time it was performed live, the recording “Emotion Tide,” has been imminent, as she finally shares the emotive yet uplifting number alongside a music video – to be released on September 15 – produced and directed by Matthew Freiheit in Los Angeles. Speaking of the track, Aliza says, “We all know that people often hold back their tears in an effort to be strong. But true healing can only happen when we allow those tears to fall and cleanse us of the grief of a broken heart.” Recorded at Dreamland Studios, the state-of-the-art analog recording studio managed by the legendary drummer, Jerry Marotta, “Emotion Tide,” is the first snippet of a forthcoming album on themes of healing and recovery. A self-taught musician who turned to music seeking solace from a difficult childhood, Aliza Hava’s smooth fusion of folk, rock, pop, and R&B brims with messages of peace and universal love, offering us empowerment and comfort in equal amounts. Born out of a period in 2021 when the singer was laid up with a severe neck injury,”Emotion Tide,” is a true representation of the power of music that Aliza has always tried to highlight in her artistry. Set to bring several more intimate yet deeply relatable stories of transforming pain into power, there’s a lot more to come from Aliza who pulls trauma apart to replace it with triumph with her enlightening, earworm musicality. Emotion Tide is slated for release on 15th September.

Eric & The Soo

Although based in Toronto, Eric Brombacher’s pride in his northern Ontario upbringing is on full display with his band Eric & The Soo and their debut album, Small Town Dreamer. It’s the kind of record that immediately hearkens back to when albums were made without the help of computers, and were intended to be listened to from beginning to end. It is the sound of real people, playing real instruments, singing about real experiences. It all falls under the umbrella of classic Canadiana—the seamless blending of vintage country, folk and blues that artists like The Band and Neil Young synthesized nearly a half-century ago. In the hands of Eric & The Soo, it provides the perfect backdrop for Small Town Dreamer’s lyrical snapshots of the present (“Slices Of Life”) and the ever- present past (“Twenty-Two”). Yet, for all of the album’s references to change, Brombacher at no time expresses regret. Instead, he sings with the voice of someone who has waited far too long for this opportunity. Despite playing guitar since his late teens, Brombacher didn’t seriously take to the stage until ten years later, joining and forming a variety of cover bands and garage rock bands that eventually released a modest output of original material. It wasn’t until Brombacher’s friend, the acclaimed Toronto singer/songwriter Jerry Leger, invited him to be a part of his side project, the Del-Fi’s, that Brombacher ultimately found the inspiration to put together his own group in 2015. Eric & The Soo ultimately came together in time for the band’s live debut in January 2016, and have remained a flexible unit built around drummer Dino Naccarato, guitarist/keyboardist Craig Robertson and harmonica player Ken Yoshioka. The band also includes Jerry Leger himself, along with three of his regular collaborators, bassist Dan Mock, multi-instrumentalist James McKie and mandolin player Matt Cooke. This was the crew that laid down 14 songs in two days at engineer Aaron Comeau’s Toronto studio “The Trailer” two months after that first gig, capturing the raw enthusiasm all of the players were feeling for the project. With the release of Small Town Dreamer capping off a whirlwind two years for Brombacher, he can finally concentrate on the future. And with that will surely come making Eric & The Soo a part of the national roots rock conversation.
