New album 'Another World' out June 21. Press release: Atlantic was the brainchild of guitarist and songwriter Simon Harrison. Following a successful ghost-writing career and his bands Stranger and Wisht, Simon wanted to make an album in his favoured AOR/Melodic Rock genre. Heavily influenced by bands like Whitesnake, Journey, Bad English, FM and Dare he set about writing the songs that became the first album entitled ‘Power’. Atlantic was never supposed to be a long term band and following its worldwide release Simon moved on to other writing, recording, production and mix projects. In the late nineties Simon met Mark Grimmett. He recorded several songs with Mark over the following few years and they decided at some point they would make a record together. Fast forward to 2021 Mark was talking to Simon about writing and recording a new album. Originally entitled the MGB Band, work started in the fall of 2021 … By early 2022 they had written a number of songs and they both felt they would best suit a new album under the Atlantic banner. Several members of Grim Reaper were recruited to give the Album an edge, whilst retaining the essential melodic rock/Aor feel that is Atlantic. Mark Pullin, Julian D.Hill and Ian Nash were duly recruited into the band along with keyboardist Gareth David Noon from Serpentine .. The lineup was to change later in the project with Simon and Tim Bristow taking over the keyboard role and the addition of Nick Burr and Andy Margrett on lead guitar. Work continued over the next year and finally the production was completed in late 2023. Mark Pullin stepped up to mix the album after some unforeseen issues at Simon’s studio and it was completed in March 2024. Escape Music had re released the original Power album and were absolutely the first choice to work with on the new album. Their new album “Another World” will be released exclusively by Escape Music, exciting times. The band is: Simon Harrison – Guitars, Bass & Keyboards Mark Grimmett – Lead Vocals Mark Pullin – Drums, Backing Vocals Nick Burr – Lead Guitar Julian D.Hill – Bass Tim Bristow – Keyboards Gareth David Noon – Additional Keyboards / Andy Margrett – Additional Lead Guitar / Mark Pullin – Additional Lead Guitar All songs written by Simon Jewell-Harrison & Mark Grimmett Except * Co-Written by Tim Bristow.

Press release: Esoteric Recordings and Cherry Red are absolutely delighted to announce the signing of the much loved and highly regarded CATS in SPACE. Fantastically received by media and fans, and one of the front runners in the current UK rock scene, the band are currently recording a new studio album to be released on the Esoteric Antenna label in November 2024. There are also plans to re-release and rework the band’s back catalogue both physically and digitally. Formed in 2015 by Greg Hart and Steevi Bacon, the band has garnered significant attention within the rock press since ‘landing.’ Drawing inspiration from ‘70s rock, their sound echoes the likes of Queen, Styx, ELO, and Boston; loud guitars, huge drums, soaring multi-layered vocal harmonies and singable choruses. Moreover, the band have a compelling live show and a plethora of “purr-fect” merchandise. Members have performed with the likes of T’Pau, Ian Gillan, Asia, Mike Oldfield and Robin Trower. Lead vocalist Damien Edwards was Parson Nathaniel in Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds and also played Roy Orbison in Only The Lonely – The Roy Orbison Story. The band have toured with Deep Purple, Status Quo and Thunder and were guest artists to Bonnie Tyler at her sold-out London Palladium in 2019. Greg Hart says: “Since the formation of CATS in SPACE in 2014, the long-term plan, when the time was right, was always to sign our own label and catalogue to a company that could take our music further in every direction, whilst fully embracing that we are not a heritage act but very much a going concern releasing new albums. The team at Cherry Red specialise in being a good ’old school style label’ who take pride in physical product and have fantastic business in Europe, which we badly needed to explore. The list of classic bands on the roster speaks for itself, so to join the team was a very easy decision for us to make. We are super excited to be joining the ’Cherry Red Army’!”

From Good Time Music: Good Time Music is happy to announce the first official signing to the label’s roster….please welcome; Like a phoenix rising CAUGHT IN ACTION ascends from the ashes of the old. The world as we knew it was locked down due to the pandemic, but this musician and songwriter from the south of Sweden knocked boredom on the head. Richard Jonsson, who honed his craft as a guitarist and back up-singer with numerous Top 40-bands over more than thirty years, got tons of time on his hand when the pandemic cancelled all the gigs. ”After thinking about it for so long, I finally built my dream home studio and started writing songs”, Richard says. Building on his love of AOR and melodic rock, in the vein of Whitesnake, Def Leppard, Kiss, Magnum, Boston and Survivor to name but a few, Richard dived in to a deep well of melodies, hooks, and choruses, and soon he had the songs. ”Then it hit me: I needed an extraordinary singer. Someone with the pipes from heaven. The search was on.” Turned out he was just around the corner. Well, not in person, but online: Richard saw a clip of the Portuguese AOR band Hot Stuff, and listening to the lead singer, Richard called of the search. Enter: Marcello Vieira, singer with the voice of an angel. Because a man with a voice spanning over six octaves is heaven sent. Impressed with Richard’s songs, Marcello said yes, laid down vocals, and recruited friend, and fellow Portuguese, Ricardo Dikk, as producer. When Richard heard Ricardo´s bass on one of the tracks, he decided to scrap his own bass playing on the rest of the songs in favour of Ricardo. Producer Ricardo Dikk brought in seasoned studio musicians and brothers Mauro and Ménito Ramos, and soon Richard, back home in his native Trelleborg in the very south of Sweden, found himself with enough songs for a killer album. Caught In Action was ready for…oh, yeah, action. The album ”Devil’s Tango”, released on Steelheart Records in April of 2022, is a masterpiece in the world of AOR and melodic rock: contagious melodies and harmonies, hooks taking stranglehold, choruses to die for, crunchy, delicious guitars, solid musicianship and…that voice. Yeah, that Marcello Vieira, who’s up there with the likes of Steve Perry, Marcie Free, Jimi Jamison and Steve Overland of FM. A world class singer. With great reviews from all over the world, this phoenix got wind in its wings; it ascended from just a studio project to a real band. Richard Jonsson recruited longtime friend and excellent drummer Mats Elofsson. Soon after Jens Mattsson, great bass player and song writer, was added to the line-up. With Jens, Mats and Marcello together with Richard, Caught in Action now a complete band to be reckoned with. Building on the success of “Devil’s Tango”, Caught In Action is currently writing songs for their sophomore album, to be released in 2024, as well as booking gigs. ”It’s been a long time coming, but here I am. I found what I’ve been looking for”, says Richard with stars in his eyes and the widest of smiles. – Stefan Johansson, Rock journalist, Swedish Metal Aid initiator.
