  1. Blood Runs Wild is the first single official music video taken from Evolution Eden - Sonic Cinema CD | Released 31 March 2023 on Lions Pride Music. For nearly 20 years, Evolution Eden has been creating a sonic cocktail that goes down smooth, while giving your ears the buzz they crave. There’s a familiarity to the band’s sound, as they clearly draw upon their Classic Rock, Hard Rock and Power Pop influences, but their unique take makes it fresh and distinct. The band consists of the tag-team-fronted duo of lead guitarist/vocalist Brandon Owen and rhythm guitarist/vocalist Mike “Pap” Pappas, and the powerhouse rhythm section of bass guitarist/backing vocalist Mike McShane, and drummer/backing vocalist Brian Powell. EE has proven to be a crowd pleaser to all audiences with a high energy, all live show of diverse tunes that get the blood pumping, hands clapping, and heads banging - big shows, big acts, and big crowds are the norm for EE. While traveling in support of the "who's-who" of Rock Nobility including artists such as Dokken, Warrant, Y & T, Richie Kotzen, Winger, Stryper, Mr. Big, Queensrÿche, Ratt, Sebastian Bach, Firehouse, Blue Öyster Cult, Kix, Winger, The Babys, The Motels, Lynch Mob, Jack Russell's Great White, Enuff z Nuff, The Last in Line, and many more, EE has played well over 300 headlining and supporting shows. With their latest release, Sonic Cinema, the band showcases an expanded repertoire of musical styles and a serious approach to meeting the needs of every modern and classic rock fan. Evolution Eden's maturation as songwriters once again takes center stage on this, the 6th release of their illustrious career. The 12 tracks span everything from in-your-face rock songs like "On With The Show", "Blood Runs Wild" and "Music Man" to the work hard/play hard anthem “Here’s To The Good Times”, the nostalgic “The Wild Ones”, and heartfelt acoustic-driven ballads like "A Good Thing" and the epic "Land of OZ". While powerful and meaningful lyrics have always been at the heart of every EE song, the band has somehow managed to take it up a notch not only in lyrical prowess and hook-laden melodies, but also with their rock-solid musicianship. It is clear that EE has been putting in the work, as their collective musical chops have taken a huge leap forward, matching the depth of their storytelling abilities. Quite simply, it's rock and roll that is good for the soul. Sonic Cinema is true to its title - telling the story of all our lives through music, melody and words like only Evolution Eden can.

  2. Strangerland - Echoes From The Past CD | Released 30 June 2023 on Lions Pride Music. Strangerland is a melodic rock project created by Alex Patman from Athens ,Greece. Started several years ago ,as a home studio project, 'stacking' demo songs with Greek or English lyrics. The original name of the project was 'Stranger', but after finding that many bands had the same name, 'land ' was added, inspired from the name of the old Greek band, 'Wasteland '. In any case, names are not important. It is just a label. During the last years, singer David Cagle 'got on the vehicle', by adding his voice and harmonies to complete the final result and then the idea of an album not to miss was born. Mike Wikman and Chris Zoukas also added their skillful playing the drums and bass respectivly. Strangerland is: David Cagle: Lead & Backing Vocals Mike Wikman: Drums Chris Zoukas: Bass Alex Patman: Guitars & Keyboards CD Track list: 01. Whenever It Rains 02. Until My Heart 03. Scent Of A Rose 04. Tears In My Eyes 05. Summer Nights 06. Calling You 07. Time 08. Only Love 09. Never 10. Heroes Of Everyday 11. Follow Your Dreams

Press release: Escape Music is delighted to announce the release date for the new album from much loved British Melodic Rock band Bite The Bullet, titled ‘Rocky Road'! Limited edition of 1000 CD copies only, all will be individually numbered 1-1000 The first 300 copies will be hand signed by the band! Rocky Road is the new album from Bite The Bullet who’s previous offerings include ‘Bite The Bullet’ 1989 and 2019 (Jet Records/CBS and Rock Candy Records), ’Black and White’ 2021 (Escape Music) and ’End of the Line’ 2022 (Escape Music). Originally formed in 1986 by Mick Benton, who had previously released a solo EP on Atlantic Records, and Graham Cowling along with Malcolm Jones the bands first album was widely acclaimed at the time on both sides of the Atlantic and received air play on major radio stations. However with demise of Jet Records and lack of publicity from CBS, coupled with the loss of worldwide support tour with the supergroup ELO, the band went into a 30 year hiatus. Mick, Graham and Malcolm carried on in cover bands playing hundreds of gigs in the UK and the BTB project was put on hold. In 2019 Mick was approached by Rock Candy Records and the original album was re-released. This rekindled Mick and Graham to write new Bite The Bullet songs and they released ‘Black & White’ in 2021 on Escape Music, followed by ‘End of the Line’ also on Escape Music in 2022, this time with original guitarist Malcolm Jones rejoining the band. Over the last few months the band has recruited new members Ant King on bass and Steve Hill on keyboards in order to play BTB’s music ‘live’ again and to record their latest album ‘Rocky Road’ . The bands music is melodic rock in the genre of Mr Mister, Toto, Foreigner and Asia with British rock guitar overtones.

  15. New lyric video for 'Where Will Our Tears Fall?'.
  16. Lyric video for 'Had Enough'. Press release: Frontiers Music Srl is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of a long-awaited new studio album, "Get It Right" from Philadelphia hard rockers Heavens Edge. This will be their first official release since 1998, when the demos and other rarities,considered the band’s second album, "Some Other Place, Some Other Time" was put out. Original members Reggie Wu (guitars, keyboards), Mark Evans (vocals), David Rath (drums), and Steven Parry (guitars) are joined by newest member, bassist Jaron Gulino (Tantric, Mach 22), who joined the band after the tragic passing of original bassist George G.G. Guidott. Formed in Philadelphia, PA in 1987 with original band members Reggie Wu (guitars, keyboards), Mark Evans (vocals), David Rath (drums), Steven Parry (guitars) and George G.G. Guidott (bass), Heavens Edge immediately began performing on the local club circuit and surrounding areas. Gigging at well-known venues in the rock and metal scene in Philly such as The Empire Rock Club, The Galaxy, and The Trocadero, with nearby prestigious venues Hammerjacks (Baltimore, MD) and the 9:30 Club (Washington, D.C.) becoming regular stops for the group, the band began smashing attendance records and rapidly gaining the attention of local press and radio. The European press started to take note as well, with Metal Forces Magazine publishing features on the band’s building notoriety and Japan's world famous Burrn! Magazine giving them significant coverage as well. While the 80’s metal scene was in full swing, the greater Philadelphia, PA/New Jersey region had already produced mega-acts such as Bon Jovi, Cinderella, Skid Row, and Britny Fox and labels were on the hunt for exactly what Heavens Edge was delivering. In a flurry of label activity from all the major players in the rock world, Heavens Edge secured a recording agreement with Columbia Records. Unfortunately, soon after the band was signed, a crazed gunman entered a club the band was playing in and randomly opened fire, striking bass player George G.G. Guidotti. G.G. was hospitalized and required months of rehabilitation to get back into playing shape. All of this delayed the commencement of the album recording for months and slowed the band's momentum.With G.G. on the mend, Heavens Edge entered the studio in the fall of 1989 and recorded their self-titled debut album with producer Neil Kernon (Dokken, Queensrÿche, Judas Priest). Well received tracks like “Skin To Skin,” “Find Another Way”, and “Play Dirty” were all included and in keeping with their reputation for exciting live shows, a live recording of the song “Is That All You Want” was added to the album. [This track was originally recorded during a live radio broadcast on the powerhouse local Philly FM rock station WMMR.] With album artwork and a music video for the first single “Skin To Skin” ready to go, Columbia Records released the album in the spring of 1990. The reviews were immediately favorable and the band hit the road with dates in Los Angeles, Boston, Baltimore, and many others. Heavens Edge was added to the Ronnie James Dio/Yngwie Malmsteen tour, culminating with a seminal performance at The Spectrum in Philadelphia. The next few years for Heavens Edge saw significant changes. The band was yet another victim of the well-documented shift in popular music tastes of the early '90s and made a label move from Columbia to Capitol Records, as well a guitarist change from Steve Parry to Jimmy Marciano, all of which lead to uncertainty within the group. Live audiences still supported the band, but the industry at large seemed ready to move on from the entire culture that preceded the new era of baby-boomer-influenced dark rock music. After some time seeking their place in a shrinking market, the band called it quits in 1993. Each of the band members pursued various music ventures. Reggie, George and David teamed up with vocalist Shawn Carmen and formed the band American Pie. Jimmy Marciano joined Dean Davidson’s (Britny Fox) new band Black Eyed Suzan. Steven linked up with Tangier vocalist Bill Madsen to form Madsen/Parry. Mark played several solo acoustic shows in European markets and midwestern US cities. None of these ventures achieved the same level of success as Heavens Edge. Though not formally together, the band inked a deal in 1998 with European label MTM and US label Perris Records and released demos and other rarities considered the band’s second album "Some Other Place, Some Other Time". This album includes previously unreleased self-titled album B-sides “Rock Steady Rock” and “Just Another Fire” along with songs “Jacky” and “Some Other Place,” which were recorded as demos for Capital Records.The next twenty years of activity for the band was not much more than the occasional benefit performance or appearance by an individual band member at various events. This was all until 2013’s official reunion show with the original line up at Firefest in Nottingham, UK. The event proved so successful that the guys continued the live show momentum with performances on The Monsters Of Rock Cruise, the Melodic Rock Festival in Chicago, and main-stage sets at M3 in the Baltimore, MD area. They soon returned to their home market with sold-out headline shows at the legendary TLA, Trocadero, and World Café Live.Then tragedy struck again with the diagnosis of lung cancer for G.G. in 2019. He sadly passed away in August of that same year. The band assumed they would never play as Heavens Edge again.It wasn’t until bassist Jaron Gulino (Tantric, Mach 22) and Mark Evans became acquainted that the idea of continuing as Heavens Edge became a reality. Jaron rehearsed with the group and immediately locked in with the band. A live performance with the band on The Monsters Of Rock Cruise soon followed and Heavens Edge now officially had a new member in Jaron Gulino. Now that the band was in-tact and the audiences were turning up, it was again time for the band to draw the attention of record companies. In 2022, Heavens Edge signed a new global recording deal with Frontiers Music Srl and will release their first studio album in twenty-five years in 2023, "Get It Right". Tracklisting:1. Had Enough2.
