RICHARD BARBIERI ‘HAUNTINGS’ – A BRAND-NEW STUDIO ALBUM – RELEASE DATE 10 APRIL 2026

For Immediate Release

RICHARD BARBIERI ‘HAUNTINGS’ – A BRAND-NEW STUDIO ALBUM – RELEASE DATE 10 APRIL 2026

JAPAN & PORCUPINE TREE SYNTHESIST FIRST SOLO ALBUM SINCE 2021’s ‘UNDER THE SPELL’

Thursday 11th February – ‘Hauntings’ is Richard Barbieri’s first studio album since 2021’s ‘Under A Spell’ and deepens the pensive, dark instrumental aesthetic of its predecessor. A diverse collection of immersive sound worlds, both dark and uplifting in equal measure, ‘Hauntings’ is influenced by a nostalgia for the past and future, and for things that didn’t happen yet still manage to haunt the mind and soul. What is real and what is simulation?

https://richardbarbieri.lnk.to/Hauntings

Richard Barbieri remains one of contemporary music’s most distinctive voices. Emerging as a key architect of the late ’70s/’80s synthesiser revolution with David Sylvian’s art-rock ensemble Japan, his visionary synthesiser programming expanded the horizons of electronic music and left a lasting mark on artists from The Human League and Duran Duran to Gary Numan and Talk Talk. His subsequent and ongoing tenure with Steven Wilson’s legendary progressive outfit Porcupine Tree across albums such as In Absentia (2002), Fear Of A Blank Planet (2007) and, most recently, Closure/Continuation (2022) further affirmed his status as one of the most intuitive and unique musicians of his generation.

The album finds Barbieri at the height of his powers, his deft keyboard and sonic architecture conjuring a shadowy, creeping Lovecraftian atmosphere. The music wanders through the streets of a gloomy lamp-lit Victorian London and drifts into grain-speckled snapshots of Belle Époque Paris. These journeys into the past are contrasted with nihilistic but euphoric forays into the future, “Traveler” and “A New Simulation” bristling with the itchy modern anxiety that often runs through his best work.

Contrasting the sound designs and electronics of Barbieri, the album features performances from renowned musicians Morgan Agren (drums and percussion), Percy Jones (bass guitar) and Luca Calabrese (trumpet).

Richard Barbieri’s new album Hauntings will be released on Kscope on 10th April 2026. Pre-orders are available here.

ARGOVIA RELEASES THE SINGLE EBB & FLOW FEATURING ROSS JENNINGS OF HAKEN

For Immediate Release

ARGOVIA RELEASES THE SINGLE EBB & FLOW FEATURING ROSS JENNINGS OF HAKEN

The Colombian band Argovia, one of the most distinctive voices in Latin American progressive rock, releases their new single Ebb & Flow, out today on all digital platforms. The track is the third preview of the band’s upcoming album Primal Repetition, due in 2026, and features a special collaboration with Ross Jennings, vocalist of Haken.

Ebb & Flow explores a confrontation with one’s own fragile and defeatist side, initially perceived as an external, alien voice. As the song unfolds, this dialogue is revealed to be an internal process—a conversation with personal vulnerability. The lyrics reflect on how life can push us to the edge and cause us to forget what is essential—seeing, listening, and being—and suggest that only by accepting both light and shadow it is possible to move forward, fight to be truly alive, and regain balance.

To reinforce this ambiguity between the internal and the external, the band chose to approach the song as a vocal duet, a device they have long been drawn to and previously explored on their Who We Are EP. From there, the idea emerged to invite Ross Jennings to take part in the song and develop this concept on both a vocal and emotional level.

“Haken is one of the most important bands within the progressive genre and one of our favourites. Ross is one of my musical heroes. Working with him is a dream come true and he is an incredible singer. We wanted to challenge ourselves and show that we are a band capable of aiming for that level and building something bigger than we ever imagined,” says Ani Guillén, Argovia’s vocalist and guitarist.

Jennings recorded an initial vocal demo remotely while touring with Haken during Cruise to the Edge 2025, working from an improvised studio set up in his cabin. After this first exchange, he recorded the final vocal takes upon returning to the United Kingdom.

“I connected deeply with this particular song and I’m very happy with the result. Argovia deserves more attention than they’re currently getting. I think it’s a great song, with really deep lyrics, and I hope you enjoy this other side of me, adding my voice alongside Ani’s. I hope you like the song. Listen to it now. It’s available on all streaming platforms,” adds Ross Jennings, vocalist of Haken.

Produced by Argovia alongside Germán Vergara (Aisles), mixed by Fernando Cubillos (Aisles, Helloween, Mark Farner) and mastered by Steve Kitch (The Pineapple Thief), Ebb & Flow unfolds through an immersive and melancholic soundscape built on layers of synthesizers and a once-again prominent bass, gradually leading toward a tribal climax driven by Afro–Latin-rooted percussion. This moment serves as a reminder of what is essential: returning to being, seeing, and listening.

According to the band, “Ebb & Flow is the conceptual epitome of Primal Repetition and is probably the song that sets the thematic pulse of the album. The ebb and flow does not propose a definitive way out of the cycle, but rather the acceptance that this repetition is part of the human experience.”

BLIND REVOLUTION IS SET TO RELEASE THE FOLLOW UP TO THEIR 2020 ALBUM MONEY, LOVE, LIGHT. FAR FROM THE SUN DROPS IN MARCH WITH THE TITLE TRACK AND FIRST SINGLE OUT NOW WORLDWIDE THROUGH DEKO ENTERTAINMENT

By glassonyonpr

For Immediate Release

BLIND REVOLUTION IS SET TO RELEASE THE FOLLOW UP TO THEIR 2020 ALBUM MONEY, LOVE, LIGHT.  FAR FROM THE SUN DROPS IN MARCH WITH THE TITLE TRACK AND FIRST SINGLE OUT NOW WORLDWIDE THROUGH DEKO ENTERTAINMENT

Stockton, NJ – Blind Revolution is a modern Italian Hard Rock/AOR band from Sicily who were formed in 2010, by the brothers Simone and Cristiano Sipione, respectively guitars and vocals, who decided to give life to a new band after several previous musical endeavors. Known for their 80s-inspired sound with catchy riffs and big choruses, heavily influenced by classic bands like Journey, Whitesnake, and Bon Jovi.

Driven by the will to honor their idols and music influences they found experienced bassist Massimiliano Ricciardo who was the perfect rhythm section partner. Natural chemistry was immediately born between the three, which soon became a great friendship. After a few personnel changes, they caught a lucky break and welcomed Giovanni Maucieri on drums, one of the most talented drummers in the area and completed the line-up of Blind Revolution. They released their debut album Money, Love, Light in 2020.

They are now following it up with their sophomore release Far From The Sun featuring ten brand new songs like the first single and title track “Far From The Sun”. Within a few months of starting production, arrangements for nearly half of the album were completed, however, one of the members had other commitments which caused a slowdown and prolonged the recording sessions. Thus, in 2024, after ten years with the band, drummer Giovanni Maucieri decides to leave to pursue other projects. The remaining members, however, didn’t lose heart and, after a few auditions, found Angelo Moretto to be the right person to step in and become the new official drummer.

The guys are very excited about their new release and as Cristiano explains, “Everyone says this about their own work, but we genuinely couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve accomplished with Far From the Sun. These songs represent exactly who Blind Revolution are today — one hundred percent.” Simone continues, “Far From the Sun is an album that reconnects you with your most visceral emotions: it can make you angry and fire you up, push you to reflect and then let yourself go. It’s powerful rock music that speaks straight to the soul.”

Watch video for “Far From The Sun” here: https://youtu.be/gpf99VMWbPk

Massimiliano adds, “The writing and production process took quite some time, but we’re convinced it was worth every moment. The songs have always come first, and we truly believe they come across as honest and authentic.” Moretto concludes, “This album is especially meaningful to me as it’s my first recording of original material. ‘Far From The Sun’ blends powerful melodic riffs, driving rhythms, and memorable harmonies, and I hope it resonates with listeners.” The full album drops March 13th through Deko Entertainment.

David Young Releases New Music That Captures the Truth of Our Times

By glassonyonpr

For Immediate Release

David Young Releases New Music That Captures the Truth of Our Times

New York, NY – Veteran rocker, multi-genre musical innovator, and prolific singer-songwriter David Young is emerging as one of the most resonant voices of 2026 with the release of his powerful new song and video, “When the Truth Comes Out”, now streaming alongside an expansive catalog at www.davidyoungblues.com.

In an era marked by political upheaval, cultural reckoning, and a global hunger for honesty, Young’s music is striking a deep chord. Rooted in blues-based rock and roll, his songs point in a shared lyrical direction — confronting reality from multiple angles — delivered with the raw edge, emotional weight, and soulful swagger reminiscent of the best music of the 1970s.

Watch the video for “When the Truth Comes Out”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2gNWbAnmdo

Music for a Moment the World Can Feel

As public discourse intensifies in 2026 — politically, socially, and emotionally — When the Truth Comes Out has emerged as a defining statement. Since the video’s release, listeners across platforms have echoed the same response again and again:

“This music tells the story of our times.”

The song’s message resonates not through slogans, but through emotional truth — acknowledging what many feel but struggle to articulate.

That same urgency carries throughout Young’s current body of work:

• “It’s a Shit Show” confronts modern chaos with grit, honesty, and dark humor.

• “Worried About the World” reflects a global, shared anxiety now impossible to ignore.

• “We’re All People” stands out as a powerful unifying anthem, already feeling destined to become a live-performance staple.

“These songs mark a defining chapter,” says Young. “Life is intense right now. People feel it everywhere. This music resonates because we’re all in it together — and everyone knows it.”

Cultural Timing & Growing Momentum

The cultural timing is unmistakable. As Bruce Springsteen’s, “Streets of Minneapolis” recently surged into the spotlight, conversations around truth, accountability, and social reckoning have taken center stage worldwide. Young’s music occupies that same emotional terrain — songs that reflect what people are thinking, feeling, and talking about right now.

There is growing belief that Young’s current body of work could open the door to meaningful collaborations with artists long associated with socially conscious rock.

Media-Ready & Performance-Driven

With his commanding stage presence, powerful vocals, and gritty rock-and-roll guitar sound, Young is positioned for major media moments.

Dynamic Storytelling & Artistic Range

Beyond music, Young is a renowned storyteller and creative force originally from Brooklyn, NY. After living in Minneapolis and Los Angeles for decades he has now returned to New York City.

Young has written three rock operas, four books, two audiobooks, is an award-winning painter (Best Booth, Art Basel Spectrum 2019), a public speaker, and the presenter of over 500 meditation events. He is also widely regarded as the world’s most recognized recorder player and plays two at one time in harmony.

In the early 1990s, his Los Angeles-based harp and flute duo Celestial Winds achieved the #1 selling independent album in Canadian history, selling over 100,000 albums independently. During that era his white puffy pirate shirt inspired the iconic Seinfeld episode.

A Legacy That Speaks for Itself

A visit to www.davidyoungblues.com reveals an artistic career few can rival. Beginning with his last $100 on Venice Beach, Young went on to record 70 albums, sell millions of records independently, and collaborate with some of the most legendary musicians in modern rock and blues.

Among them are Gregg Bissonette and Sean Hurley, Grammy winners for their work on Edgar Winter’s “Brother Johnny”, which won Best Contemporary Blues Album. Both are current or previous members of Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band.

Other legendary musical collaborations include:

Clifford Carter, Tony Franklin, Tony Levin, Jerry Marotta, Ricky Peterson, Matt Abts, John Philip Shenale, Bebu Silvetti, Matt Fink, Curt Bisquera, Dan Hickey, Noah Levy, Scott Columbus, Joey Belladonna, Carl Canedy, Carmine Appice and Frankie Moreno.

As the world searches for music that reflects the intensity of the moment — and offers a path toward understanding — David Young is delivering songs that tell the truth clearly, boldly, and right on time.

Multi-Instrumentalist & Chapman Stick Maestro Tom Griesgraber To Release New Soundtrack Album The Split (Music From The Motion Picture Prairie Prophecy) March 6

By glassonyonpr

For Immediate Release

Multi-Instrumentalist & Chapman Stick Maestro Tom Griesgraber To Release New Soundtrack Album The Split (Music From The Motion Picture Prairie Prophecy) March 6

Tom Griesgraber is releasing a new album called The Split. The album is currently available as CD and multi-format download on tomgriesgraber.com, with a wider release planned for March 6 including Bandcamp. The Split is Tom Griesgraber’s soundtrack album from the feature length documentary film Prairie Prophecy. It includes all nineteen tracks from the film, along with two bonus tracks. The music features Tom Griesgraber on Chapman Stick, analog synths and samples. Tom’s California Guitar Trio bandmate Bert Lams also makes a guest appearance on acoustic guitar.

Watch the trailer for The Split:
https://fb.watch/ETuAVHBc7O/
https://youtu.be/skNQfhEP0XQ

While Tom Griesgraber is primarily known in progressive rock circles, The Split leans more towards ambient music than much of his other work.

Says Tom, “I tried in writing it to have recurring themes for the subjects being discussed in the movie. The album tracks are in the same order they appear in the movie, with themes and motifs that develop as the album progresses.”

“I tried to also have something thematic with the instrumentation. Generally, when topics being discussed are more about the problems of industrialization the analog synths become more prominent, and when the discussion is more about natural things or the progress scientists are making, the Chapman Stick and orchestral strings are more prominent.”

The film Prairie Prophecy is an engaging exploration of natural systems agriculture and its potential to address some of today’s most urgent environmental challenges. Anchored in the work of The Land Institute, the film traces how perennial farming systems—modeled after native ecosystems—could help restore soil, conserve water, and build resilience in a changing climate. Both educational and hopeful, the program offers a forward-looking perspective on the future of food and land stewardship.

The movie is currently playing at screenings and festivals across the US and will be available to all Public Television stations starting in April 2026.

About Tom Griesgraber:
Tom Griesgraber picked up the Chapman Stick in 1997 after graduating Summa Cum Laude from Berklee College of Music as a guitarist in 1995. In late 1998 he began performing around San Diego County as a Stick player doing both solo shows and performances with his group Agent 22. In 2000, the group won a year-long local battle of the bands at the Belly Up Tavern, beating about 230 other groups. From there venues started having Tom or the group open for nationals. In 2001, he opened for the California Guitar Trio (CGT) at the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano. The next year Tom attended a Guitar Craft course taught by Robert Fripp with CGT members Bert Lams and Paul Richards assisting. Afterwards, CGT asked him to go on the road as their opener for about 100 shows over the next few years. Bert Lams from the group and Tom started doing duo tours as well and eventually two albums. In 2021, Bert and Paul Richards asked Tom to join CGT as a regular member.

To date, Tom Griesgraber has also released two other solo albums, one with CGT recorded while opening for King Crimson, two with Agent 22, and a duo album with drummer Jerry Marotta (Peter Gabriel) with whom he also toured internationally for several years. He has performed four times for Grammy events, toured as an opener for The Tony Levin Band, opened multiple times for Carl Palmer, Adrian Belew, Steve Morse and the Dixie Dregs, Al Dimeola and Stick Men and opened shows for Bill Bruford’s Earthworks, Andy Summers, Alan Holdsworth, Stanley Jordan, Steve Hackett, Larry Carlton, Steve Lukather, Paul Stanley, Paula Cole, Tuck and Patti, Asia and dozens of others. Tom has also performed on, produced and/or engineered dozens of albums for other artists including two with RyMo (of Slightly Stoopid), CGT, guitarist Peter Pupping and Dübh.

The Chapman Stick, Tom’s primary instrument is a combination of twelve guitar and bass strings, played in both hands with a technique closer to playing piano than guitar. Multiple outputs allow for simultaneous guitar, bass and keyboard-like sounds but with a unique timbre and unusual musical structures.

Auburn with Liz Lenten Releases Their New Album ‘Behind The Scenes’ on Friday 27th March 2026

Liz Lenten (BEM) says “After lockdown, and all that isolation and distance…Behind the Scenes grew from a desire to connect. Working with writers, vocalists, musicians, and producers from around the world, each song came from shared ideas and honest conversations.

The album explores everyday life – relationships, friendships and situations we find ourselves in.

Recorded across the U.S., the U.K., and Brazil, each of the 32 different collaborators brought their own perspective, sound, and experience, giving a wide range of musical approaches and writing styles from rootsy americana to soulful pop.

I think that diversity really pushed me creatively and let the songs move across different moods and textures, just like the people behind the music.”

First single ‘Perfect Imperfections’  – 23rd January 2026

Co-written with Michael Garvin (Jennifer Lopez, George Benson) and Sharon Vaughn

(Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson) in Spain. Produced by Thomm Jutz (Nanci Griffith, Mary Gauthier) and Finn Goodwin Bain. Recorded & in Nashville and Lincolnshire.

“Perfect Imperfections is a love song about how our affections deepen through vulnerability and humour; not in spite of our imperfections, but because of them”.

Liz Lenten (BEM) has worked in various roles in the music industry for over 30 years. She currently manages folk hero Martin Carthy (MBE) and previously other artists including Eliza Carthy (MBE), Shane MacGowan, Nasher (F.G.T.H), and Galia Arad.

She’s been touring, writing, recording and performing since she was 16.

Since re-starting her band Auburn in 2012 has recorded 4 albums, in Nashville with Grammy Nominated producer Thomm Jutz to critical acclaim, gaining great reviews, extensive airplay worldwide, selling over 10000 units.  She tours regularly with her band ‘Auburn Acoustic’ and performed live at E Entertainments showcase in New Orleans.

LEGENDARY PROG ROCK BAND NEKTAR SELLS OUT OF THE FIRST PRESSING OF MISSION TO MARS AND ISSUES LIMITED EDITION AQUA BLUE HAND NUMBERED AND SIGNED TO KICK OFF THEIR 2026 MISSION TO MARS TOUR.

For Immediate Release

LEGENDARY PROG ROCK BAND NEKTAR SELLS OUT OF THE FIRST PRESSING OF MISSION TO MARS AND ISSUES LIMITED EDITION AQUA BLUE HAND NUMBERED AND SIGNED TO KICK OFF THEIR 2026 MISSION TO MARS TOUR.

Stockton, NJ – Formed in Germany in 1969, Nektar favored extended compositions and concept albums over the constraints of pop. They were among the progenitors of the progressive rock movement of the 1970s as well as the jam-band scene that arose in the late 1990s. Their sound traveled well to the States, where they enjoyed Top 40 success with A Tab in the Ocean (1972) and Remember the Future (1973). Nearly 20 albums later, the band’s artistic and personal charisma has earned them masses of devoted fans along with their album “The Other Side” (2020) which was Number 1 on Amazon Progressive Music. For over half a century, Nektar has been the guiding star for countless fans, leading them on mesmerizing expeditions through the vast expanses of the cosmos and the depths of the ocean. With their unique fusion of progressive rock and stunning visuals, these trailblazing prog-rock legends have ignited the imaginations of generations.

Nektar’s latest release, Mission To Mars, is the first in a trilogy and the first to feature new drummer, Jay Dittamo, alongside longtime members Ryche Chlanda (guitars, vocals), Kendall Scott (keyboards, synths), Maryann Castello (vocals) and original founding member Derek “Mo” Moore (bass guitar, vocals). Nektar melded those aforementioned traits with the soothing mellowness and adventurous jamming of Camel, the Grateful Dead and Caravan. Nektar’s knack for thought-provoking concepts and entrancing music has rarely wavered and is just as evident on Mission To Mars.

The first pressing of Mission To Mars is officially Sold Out worldwide so Deko Entertainment is thrilled to announce a second pressing Limited to 300 copies on Aqua Blue only for Indie Record Stores and 100 hand numbered and signed by the band available only direct to consumer. As founding member Moore says, “We have had the Mission to Mars LP pressed in a very different color.  There will be 100 units numbered and signed available.  Please order these special copies NOW before they run out.  Please note the first pressing is Sold Out.”
