Press release: Following "The Higher They Climb" from 2012, the fourth album "Now & Then" of guitarist, producer and songwriter Christian Tolle is going to be released under the project name C.T.P. "Now & Then" is a special album: Christian re-recorded some of his best songs with new singers and in a new outfit, plus he threw in some new songs. Therefore, it is quite justifiable to claim that "Now & Then" has been the most powerful music release as yet. As a result, the musical range is widespread: Rock bangers like "Dumped", stomping Rock Blues like "Magic Pudding" or West Coast hightlights like "Taking A Risk" or "Hard To Find" combine the whole array of handmade classic rock. Simply put: pure variety, powerful songs. As for the previous albums, Christian was again able to engage numerous excellent rock singers and musicians for the project. John Parr, Philip Bardowell, Rick Riso, John Cuijpers, Michael Voss and David Reece refine the classic AOR compositions with their charismatic voices just as the technical skills of exceptional musicians like Steve Lukather (guitar), Michael Landau (guitar), Tim Pierce (guitar), Doug Aldrich (guitar), Chuck Wright (bass), Lauren Scheff (bass), Raymond Herveille (drums), Morris Adriaens (keyboards, backing vocals). The twelve album tracks plus the CD bonus track "Changed (Alternative Version)" present an all-round successful and homogenous, but nonetheless full-on rock trip into the classic and also timeless AOR. www.christiantolle.com Tracks: 1 Dumped (feat.

New cover song.

Review from melodic-hardrock.com: Heartbanger is a musical project led by the musician/guitarist/songwriter Xavi Méndez. “Through The Dark” is the first album of this new melodic adventure and to consolidate it, Xavi has been accompanied by some friends and popular names of the national and international AOR scene. The debut includes collaborations from people like Tony Mills (SHY, TNT), Gabrielle De Val (The Val), Manu Esteve (Hardreams), Alberto Fernandez (Tokio) among many others… The Heartbanger stylistic line is the classic 80s AOR (Survivor, Journey, Strangeways, Loverboy, FM, Foreigner and the like) with great presence of keyboards, great vocal harmonies and catchy choruses. It even offers some melodic metal on the only song on Spanish “Tierras De La Libertad” (featuring Angel Rubin on lead vocals). This music takes you back to the 80s when songwriting concepts were breaking new ground. The material is in a straightforward rock musical direction with tight musicianship and good sound quality. The keyboard driven aor “The Last Chance Night” gets big credit for experimenting with non-conventional song structure. That keyboard riff is so awesome! And then combine it with all the other great instruments, and Manu Esteve’s perfect singing, and you have a true classic. The haunting keys on “You Came On Time” among the voice of Gabrielle De Val combine into a perfect melodious tune while Val’s voice is so awesome that reminds Leigh Matty’s voice of Romeo’s Daughter. Tony Mills simply kick ass on “Through The Dark” a smooth song that you can tap your feet mixed with intensity from Xavi’s edgy guitar. Manu deliver some strokes with his vocal abilities in “In Heaven” combine perfectly with the harmony guitar riffs, the heavenly keys and the layered vocals into an amazing aor anthem. A very interesting debut album that appeal for fans of the 80s melodic rock sound, where Xavi Méndez givin’ heart and soul to deliver us this brilliant album which contains impressive guitar work, powerful vocal performances and a tight musicianship, while the massive use of keyboards enriches the sound all over.
