By glassonyonpr

For Immediate Release

RICK WAKEMAN & THE ENGLISH ROCK ENSEMBLE – RETURN TO THE RED PLANET, THE EPIC RETURN TO MARS FROM RICK WAKEMAN

RELEASE DATE: 16th OCTOBER (MADFISH MUSIC)

A new progressive rock suite inspired by both past and the latest discoveries on The Red Planet. Featuring Lee Pomeroy, Dave Colquhoun, Adam Falkner & Mollie Marriott.

“This isn’t just another Rick Wakeman album. It’s a bloody good one!”
Simon Heyworth – Producer of Tubular Bells

Following his acclaimed 2020 album The Red Planet, Rick Wakeman makes a triumphant and inevitable return to Mars with Return To The Red Planet, a sweeping new progressive work that fuses science, imagination and musical virtuosity into one of the most ambitious recordings of his career. Return To The Red Planet will be released on the Madfish label on 16th October.

“Once I started looking at the new data and photographs, I realised there was an entirely new album waiting to be written. There was simply too much more to say about Mars – musically and spiritually – not to return.” – Rick Wakeman

At a time when space exploration has moved back to the forefront of human endeavour – with missions to the Moon, Mars and beyond once again capturing the world’s imagination – Return To The Red Planet feels both timely and visionary, rekindling the cosmic spirit that helped define progressive rock’s golden age.

Where its predecessor opened the story, this album explores the planet’s ancient lakes, vast canyon systems, shifting dust storms and geological epochs, drawing directly on the remarkable images and research that have transformed our understanding of Mars in recent years, Wakeman immersing himself in planetary research, data, and mission reports before a single note was written.

– Crystal Clear Gatefold Vinyl LP

– Gatefold 2LP edition – pressed on Transparent Orange Vinyl and features an immersive 3D pop-up Of Wakeman’s spacecraft landed on Mars

PRE-ORDER VIA RICK WAKEMAN’S OFFICIAL STORE

Recorded between August 2025 and January 2026, the project also marks a welcome return to full band recording, with all musicians working together at Decoy Studios – a creative approach Wakeman considers essential to capturing the spontaneity and energy of progressive rock at its best.

The album is performed by Wakeman’s English Rock Ensemble, featuring bassist Lee Pomeroy, guitarist Dave Colquhoun, drummer Adam Falkner and vocalist Mollie Marriott, daughter of legendary Steve Marriott. The album was mastered by renowned engineer Simon Heyworth.

Among the album’s centrepieces is Bowie’s Vision, a deeply personal homage to Wakeman’s friend David Bowie, whose fascination with Mars helped shape popular culture’s image of the planet. The connection is more than thematic: Wakeman performed the iconic piano on Bowie’s Life on Mars?, making this tribute both musical and autobiographical – a reflection on a shared history, a lasting friendship and one of rock’s most celebrated recordings.

The music was initially composed as keyboard “templates” at Nursery Studios, before being expanded collaboratively by the band at Decoy Studios and engineered by Toby Wood. Final overdubs and mixing with producer/engineer Erik Jordan bring the vision into sharp focus – from sweeping symphonic passages to intricate rhythmic sequences and haunting choral textures.

Praise for The Red Planet (2020):
“An astonishing return to form…Wakeman at his most imaginative” – Prog Magazine
“A richly detailed symphonic rock journey” – Classic Rock

Wakeman needs little introduction. A central figure during his many years with Yes, he is also one of the most successful solo artists in progressive rock history, with a catalogue of over one hundred albums and global sales in the tens of millions. His career as a session musician includes landmark recordings with David Bowie, Elton John, Cat Stevens and many more, establishing him as one of the most distinctive keyboard voices of his generation.

RETURN TO THE RED PLANET WILL BE RELEASED ON MADFISH ON 16th OCTOBER, PRE-ORDER HERE: https://rickwakemanmadfish.lnk.to/Return_To_The_Red_Planet

Held By Trees To Release New Single ‘Not Home Yet’ from ‘The Call of Home’ featuring Simone Marie

By glassonyonpr

For Immediate Release

Held By Trees To Release New Single ‘Not Home Yet’ from ‘The Call of Home’ featuring Simone Marie

New video ‘Not Home Yet’ premieres tomorrow on the official Held By Trees YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@HeldByTrees

Held By Trees are set to release a new single ‘Not Home Yet’ on 17 July, ahead of new album ‘The Call of Home’ on 2 October 2026. Featuring Simone Marie formerly of Primal Scream, and currently with The Twilight Sad, the song is accompanied by a striking fanbase-created video.

David Joseph says of the song, “We enter the narrative of the new album with this song about feeling lost and claustrophobic in an urban environment, and longing for the safety of home. This is from the heavier section of the album before things get more peaceful and joyful, but it all works as journey.

I’m delighted to have Simone Marie working with us again, this time singing lead vocals for the first time, I think – which is a real honour. The video for the song was made out of clips sent in from followers of Held By Trees in cities all over the world”.

Simone Marie added, “I thoroughly love and enjoy the process of working with David and Held By Trees. He sent me demos of the new stuff and I felt a connection with it. I heard ideas and melodies  for what he sent me and he gave me confidence and space to find my own way to the parts I contributed. I’m really excited for the whole album to be out in the wild.”

‘The Call of Home’ is the follow-up to the critically acclaimed ‘Hinterland’ and finds the band exploring very different territory, with the album featuring nine tracks with vocals bookended with two more familiar instrumental takes, including for the first time on vinyl, Lay Your Troubles Down with Martin Smith. The album will be released by Tweed Jacket Music / Low Port Music on vinyl, CD and digital formats – but will be initially absent from streaming platforms as each track is released as singles. The striking original artwork, so important to Held By Trees, has been originated by @BlankEmbrace.

‘The Call of Home’ sees a broadening of personnel, with new musical collaborators with backgrounds as diverse as Radiohead and Primal Scream, to Wet Wet Wet and Delirious [Clive Deamer, Simone Marie, Graeme Duffin, and Martin Smith/Stu Garrard respectively]. With David Joseph once again are the core band of Robbie McIntosh, Laurence Pendrous, and Andy Panayi with their shared history with Mark Hollis and Talk Talk, among many others. Still at his side are James Grant and Grant Howard, continuing a friendship and musical partnership spanning over two decades now in various forms. David’s key musical mentors Martin Smith, Jason Upton and Eric Bibb take the vocal mic alongside Simone Marie and Marc James and, in a departure, David even sings a few himself.

David Joseph said, “I’ve made an album of songs with some of our friends singing. It’s a love letter to the music of the 80s and 90s, when I was a youngster falling in love with music through my parent’s records and cassettes, and what I heard on the radio and on Top of the Pops. It’s on the theme of coming home; to reunion, redemption and the warming of the heart through sounds and stories.

This album is a labour of love on many levels, a branching out of what this project is and can be. Over nine songs, bookended with two instrumentals, I hope all who listen find their way home to an embrace that this music can offer the soul.”

Held By Trees is a journey in itself and ‘The Call of Home’ offers new sonic vistas to explore, whilst retaining the heart and hearth of what makes this band special.

Progressive Rock Ensemble Jane Getter Premonition Releases New Album “Transmogrify” – OUT NOW!

By glassonyonpr

For Immediate Release

Progressive Rock Ensemble Jane Getter Premonition Releases New Album “Transmogrify” – OUT NOW!

Release Date: July 10, 2026  |  7D Media

Transmogrify, the bold new album from Jane Getter Premonition, arrives today, July 10, 2026, on 7D Media. At once a mirror and a metamorphosis, Transmogrify is a record about change — personal, political, and musical — rendered through the lens of progressive rock at its most exploratory and emotionally alive.

Jane Getter Premonition is Jane Getter (Saturday Night Live Band, Jack McDuff), Adam Holzman (Miles Davis, Steven Wilson) Alex Skolnick (Testament, Trans-Siberian Orchestra), Paul Frazier (David Byrne, Niles Rogers), and Gene Lake (Marcus Miller, Nile Rogers & Chic). Joining them are special guests Russell Holzman (Caroline Polachek), Mark Egan (Pat Metheny), and Chandra Rule (Kirk Lightsey).

Together, they form one of progressive rock’s most compelling ensembles — a band whose command of technical virtuosity never comes at the expense of emotional depth. Transmogrify is their latest act of creative courage: a record that reflects our turbulent times without losing sight of beauty, transformation, and the possibility of change.

Most of the songs on this album began as something else entirely, transforming through the creative process into the forms they now inhabit. The album’s title track reflects on the artist’s evolving desires and experiences while acknowledging the shifting currents of a world in flux. He’s Gone Away delves into the illusion of escape — the realization that what haunts us follows wherever we go. Blinded confronts the dangers of blind allegiance. And Little Steps — a solo acoustic guitar piece — stands as a tender tribute to the late, great Ralph Towner.

Lyrically and sonically, Transmogrify is an album that holds out hope even as it confronts difficult truths — a record for a world that is, like the music itself, in the midst of becoming something new.

TODD RUNDGREN

Born and raised in Philadelphia, Rundgren began playing guitar as a teenager, going on to found and front The Nazz, the quintessential `60’s psychedelic group. In 1969, he left the band to pursue a solo career, recording his debut offering, the legendary Runt. But it was 1972’s seminal Something/Anything?, on which he played all the instruments, sang all the vocal parts, and acted as his own producer, that catapulted Todd into the superstar limelight, prompting the press to unanimously dub him ‘Rock’s New Wunderkind’. It was followed by such landmark LPs as The Hermit of Mink Hollow and the above mentioned A Wizard, A True Star, as well as such hit singles as I Saw The Light, Hello It’s Me, Can We Still Be Friends, and Bang The Drum.

In 1974, Todd formed Todd Rundgren’s Utopia (renamed and reconfigured in 1976 as Utopia), an entirely new approach to the concept of interactive musicianship, and embarked on an extensive round of touring and recording. Standout Utopia offerings included Oops! Wrong Planet, Adventures in Utopia, and Oblivion. Along the way, Todd Rundgren’s Utopia combined technical virtuosity and creative passion to create music that initially, for millions, defined the term “progressive rock”, and subsequently, as Utopia, the term “powerpop”.

Rundgren’s myriad production projects include albums by Patti Smith, Cheap Trick, Psychedelic Furs, Meat Loaf, XTC, Grand Funk Railroad, and Hall And Oates. Rounding out his reputation as rock’s Renaissance Man, Rundgren composed all the music and lyrics for Joe Papp’s 1989 Off-Broadway production of Joe Orton’s Up Against It (the screenplay commissioned by The Beatles for what was meant to have been their third motion picture). He also has composed the music for the hit film Dumb and Dumber, as well as a number of television series, including Pee Wee’s Playhouse and Crime Story.

In 2009 Rundgren performed his iconic 1973 album A Wizard A True Star in concert in its entirety for the first time ever, and several years later did the same with a double bill: Todd & Healing. He has toured with Ringo Starr as an erstwhile member of the All-Starr Band since 1989, and continues to perform with symphony orchestras both domestically and internationally. In 2018 he toured North America with original Utopians Kasim Sulton and Willie Wilcox for the first time in 33 years. After the release of his long-awaited autobiography The Individualist, he spearheaded the world’s first hybrid concert/book tour highlighting music across his 50-plus-year career.

In 2017 on successive weekends he was awarded honorary doctorates from both the Berklee School of Music and DePauw University.

In 1998 Todd debuted his new PatroNet technology which for the first time allowed fans of a musical artist to subscribe directly to the artist’s musical output via the Internet. This caps a long history of groundbreaking early multimedia “firsts”, including:

•1978: The first interactive television concert, broadcast live over the Warner/QUBE system in Columbus, Ohio (the home audience chose each song in real time during the concert by voting via QUBE’s 2-way operating system).
•1978: The first live nationally broadcast stereo radio rock concert (by microwave), linking 40 cities around the country.
•1979: The opening of Utopia Video Studios, a multi-million dollar state-of-the-art facility. The first project produced by Todd there is Gustav Holst’s The Planets, commissioned by RCA Selecta Vision as the first demonstration software for their new videodisc format.
•1980: Creation of the first color graphics tablet, which was licensed to Apple and commercially released as The Utopia Graphics Tablet.
•1981: Time Heals, the first music video to utilize state-of-the-art compositing of live action and computer graphics (produced and directed by Todd), becomes the eighth video to be played during the launch of MTV on August 1, 1981.
•1982: The first live national cablecast of a rock concert (on the USA Network), simulcast in stereo to over 120 radio stations.
•1982: The first two commercially released music videos, one of which was nominated for the first-ever Grammy awarded for “Best Short Form Video” in 1983.
•1992: The first commercially available music downloads via CompuServe.
•1993: The release of “No World Order”, the world’s first interactive record album on CD-i.
•1994: The release of “The Individualist”, the world’s first full-length Enhanced CD.
•1994: The world’s first interactive concert tour.
•1998: Launches PatroNet, the world’s first direct artist subscription service — predicts that someday “music will be sold by the pound”.
•2016: The production of the world’s first full length concert shot with multiple Virtual Reality 360º cameras.
•2021: Spearheaded the “Clearly Human” virtual concert tour, featuring 25 live-streamed performances geo-fenced and tailored to a different US city each night.

JOHN DEMENA UNVEILS EPIC PROGRESSIVE ROCK SONG AND VIDEO “MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE“ THROUGH DEKO ENTERTAINMENT.

By glassonyonpr

For Immediate Release

JOHN DEMENA UNVEILS EPIC PROGRESSIVE ROCK SONG AND VIDEO “MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE“ THROUGH DEKO ENTERTAINMENT.

Stockton, NJ – Los Angeles rock artist JOHN DEMENA unveils his new single “More Than Meets The Eye,” an epic song in his unique space hard rock style, featuring Latin Grammy winning drummer Miguel Lamas and keyboardist Matt Rohde (Jane’s Addiction). Blending progressive rock, cinematic sounds, and captivating musicianship, the track pushes DeMena’s evolving sound into bold new territory.

Opening with a hypnotic intro before erupting into a whirlwind of virtuosic performances, the song showcases jaw-dropping guitar, drum and keyboard solos, and a dynamic vocal performance from DeMena going from hypnotic melodies to raw, explosive screams. Driven by poetic and introspective lyrics, the track balances technical precision with emotional depth, delivering an immersive listening experience that feels both powerful and deeply personal.

As DeMena explains, “More Than Meets The Eye was inspired by the hardships, depth, and complexity of the things all of us go through and that, too often, people judge without knowing what really lies beneath the surface. Musically, I wanted the song to feel like a journey—constantly evolving and taking the listener somewhere unexpected through different emotions, textures, and energies. The track gave Miguel, Matt, and me the opportunity to really unleash ourselves as musicians, featuring epic guitar, drum, and keyboard solos. It’s one of the most ambitious pieces I’ve written, and I hope listeners discover something new each time they hear it.”

Accompanying the release is a music video directed by Julian Oyanedel, filmed during the recording process in studios across Los Angeles and Madrid. The video offers a captivating look at DeMena alongside Miguel Lamas and Matt Rohde, showcasing their extraordinary musicianship through explosive performances, intimate studio moments, and cinematic visuals that bring the song’s power and atmosphere to life. The release marks another bold step toward DeMena’s forthcoming sophomore album via Deko Entertainment. Fans can also catch DeMena live this summer at the San Diego Fair, sharing the stage with legendary artists including Chicago, Good Charlotte, Night Ranger, and Bret Michaels.

Watch video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpFAo4VrKQk&feature=youtu.be

John DeMena is a multi-award-winning rock singer and guitarist from Los Angeles known for his cinematic space-rock sound and fusion of alternative rock, flamenco, and atmospheric textures. DeMena has collaborated with renowned musicians including Alain Johannes (Queens of the Stone Age, Chris Cornell), Pete Griffin (Steve Vai, Dethklok), and Jeff Babko of Jimmy Kimmel Live!. He has toured the U.S., Chile, and Spain, sharing festival lineups with acts including Good Charlotte and Grammy-winning guitarist Mark Lettieri of Snarky Puppy.

His debut album “Dreams and Lies” earned international acclaim with coverage from outlets including Loudwire, Metal Hammer, Rock Hard, and Sonic Perspectives. The cinematic video for “Eternal Eyes” received more than a dozen awards and nominations worldwide at festivals including the Hollywood Music in Media Awards, the Las Cruces International Film Festival, and the Girona Film Festival.

DeMena was also invited by Rhino Records to contribute to their tribute to The Doors, reimagining the classic “People Are Strange.” The track’s accompanying video, produced by Industrialism Films (Jinjer, Cradle of Filth, Nita Strauss), was featured on MTV Germany. His upcoming album, expected in 2026 and set to be released via Deko Entertainment, features collaborations with Alain Johannes and Spanish flamenco singer Sabrina Romero.

Produced by Pete Roth and Bill Bruford for Winterfold Records, Group Chat presents a trio that thrives on intimacy, risk and connection. Rooted in jazz but never constrained by it, the music moves fluidly through funk, contemporary classical influences and spontaneous improvisation, with nothing treated as untouchable. Original compositions such as Full Circle, Dancing With Grace and Original Sin sit alongside collaborative pieces including Part Of The Charm and Looking Forward To Looking Back, while the trio’s inspired Improvisation on the Largo from Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9 underlines the breadth of their musical imagination. The result is a record that feels adventurous, immediate and alive – music made in the moment by three musicians listening as deeply as they play.

The release is presented as a two-disc digipak CD/DVD edition, complete with a booklet containing extensive notes and group photographs. Alongside the nine-track audio album, the package includes a bonus 35-minute DVD offering further insight into the trio’s world, with performances, an introduction, and a special spoken segment from Pete Roth.

The music press reaction’s have been emphatic. “The Pete Roth Trio is a band of equals, clearly loving the opportunity to improvise and have musical conversations,” wrote Biff Bam Pop!, while Innerviews praised the music as “rich with nuance, invention, and telepathic rapport.” Dr. Jazz Talks described the album as “a feast of rhythm and melody,” and Make Weird Music summed up its appeal succinctly: “I wish more jazz was this much fun.” Another review captured the trio’s balancing act perfectly, calling it “loose enough that it could fall apart and tight enough that it grooves.”

Pete Roth brings to Group Chat a background that spans blues, rock and jazz, shaped first in Germany and then refined through his studies and career in the UK. Mike Pratt, a highly regarded bassist, composer and producer with deep roots in jazz fusion and groove-based music, brings both harmonic imagination and rhythmic authority to the trio. For Bruford, whose career has encompassed groundbreaking work with Yes, King Crimson, Earthworks and a host of major jazz collaborators, Group Chat reflects a continuing commitment to the innovative, the unusual and the unlikely. Together, the three musicians create an experience that reshapes expectations of the guitar trio format, making space for melody, texture, groove and surprise in equal measure.

Group Chat is a vivid document of three distinctive musical voices in open conversation – intimate, exploratory, witty and deeply alive.

HAPPY THE MAN PERFORMS “FOURTH OF JULY: AN AMERICAN SUITE” BY RON RIDDLE

By glassonyonpr

For Immediate Release

HAPPY THE MAN PERFORMS “FOURTH OF JULY: AN AMERICAN SUITE” BY RON RIDDLE

New single releases today, June 29, 2026

Watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUb1g8uPZTE

A long-dormant cinematic work born during the golden era of large-scale television documentary production has been re-imagined for America’s 250th anniversary.

Progressive rock pioneers Happy the Man have been recording and developing Fourth of July: An American Suite, a large-scale musical work composed by Ron Riddle — originally created in the 2000s during Riddle’s years scoring television for Discovery Channel and TLC.

The music traces its origins to the landmark Houston fireworks spectacular featured in the television series Detonators, where Riddle served as composer for the series. At the time, the Houston event was widely recognized as one of the largest fireworks productions in America, combining massive pyrotechnic displays with live-event drama on an enormous scale.

Written to accompany both the spectacle and the emotional tension behind the production itself, the music moved fluidly between progressive rock, orchestral passages, cinematic Americana, and rhythmically driven soundtrack composition.

Several of the progressive sections were originally conceived with the musical language and adventurous spirit of Happy the Man in mind — making the current collaboration feel less like a reunion and more like the completion of a decades-long musical arc.

“This project feels strangely inevitable,” says Riddle. “The original piece already carried the DNA of Happy the Man inside it. What’s exciting now is hearing those ideas finally realized by the musicians who inspired that side of the writing in the first place.” The recording features a nucleus of original Happy the Man members who have continued collaborating musically in recent years, including bassist Rick Kennell, and guitarist Stanley Whitaker. Mixed and mastered by Rick Kennell in his innermost studios, the tracks were all recorded in their own studios.

There are two versions of the single: the Full version which will include a tension building orchestral prelude and the Fireworks version.  Rather than revisiting past material, Fourth of July: An American Suite aims to push forward — combining the compositional ambition of classic progressive rock with cinematic storytelling, modern production, and a distinctly American emotional landscape.

Fourth of July: An American Suite releases today, Monday June 29, 2026 and is being developed in conjunction with Invasion Merch as part of the celebration with America’s 250th anniversary. It is available on all your favorite download and streaming music outlets.

Singer-Songwriter Alyssa Gallarneau Releases Debut Album, For The Record

By glassonyonpr

For Immediate Release

Singer-Songwriter Alyssa Gallarneau Releases Debut Album, For The Record

RELEASED JUNE 26, 2026

Rising singer-songwriter Alyssa Gallarneau has released her debut album ‘For The Record’, available now worldwide, the album explores themes of love, faith, longing and self-discovery.

‘For The Record’ is a poignant and personal release, that soars with cinematic soundscapes and heartfelt storytelling charm. The first single, “Love Business (Sha-Boom),” released in February, quickly became a viral success, amassing more than 2.5 million views on TikTok. The track reached download charts in several countries and earned strong support from Apple Music, who added it to four of their flagship editorial playlists; Today’s Hits, New in Pop, Future Hits and New Music Daily. “SoHo” followed in March, a stylish pop song which also racked up nearly 1 million views on TikTok. The catchy ballad “Consider This The End” was the third offering from the album in May.

The album began in 2025 after acclaimed artist Mark Morrison introduced Alyssa to renowned UK producer Ian Barter, who has previously worked with the likes of Amy Winehouse, Paloma Faith, and Dermot Kennedy. Following an immediate creative connection, Alyssa travelled to London twice to record ‘For The Record’ in Barter’s personal garden studio, with the pair bonding over their shared faith throughout the process.

The albums lead single “I Don’t Want To Think About You” is a heartbreak anthem that unfolds in the final moments before departure, when loving someone isn’t enough to stop them from leaving. An aviation themed pop song about the push-and-pull of leaving someone you still love. Inspired by life on tour and her time recording in London, Gallarneau co-wrote the song with her sister Brittany Gallarneau, a pilot who recently joined American Airlines. The song draws on Alyssa’s lifelong connection to aviation, having grown up in a family of pilots, while the songwriting partnership between the sisters brings an added personal dimension to the track. Their shared love of music and aviation has already intersected professionally, with Envoy Air previously featuring “SoHo” across its platforms alongside appearances from both Alyssa and Brittany. “We were inspired by the push and pull dynamic of not wanting to think about the person you can’t stop thinking about,” she says. “It’s the song you listen to as your flight takes off, except the person you wanted to show up for you arrives at the gate too late.”

A native of Chicago, Illinois, Alyssa Gallarneau has appeared on stages including Milwaukee Summerfest, House of Blues Chicago, New York Fashion Week, The Now Arena, Joe’s on Weed St. Chicago, and The Bluebird. She is signed to Mark Morrison’s MackLife Records, who will distribute the album via Stem, a division of Concord, the world’s leading independent music company.

“Willow Tree,” “Proverbs 3-5,” “Ocean Air,” and “All’s Fair in Love & War” are further tracks that listeners will hear for the first time. The album is filled with warm melodies and sincere lyricism, showcasing Gallarneau’s growing artistry and emotional depth, paired with Barter’s polished, soulful production, creating a sound that feels both nostalgic and fresh.

Alyssa Gallarneau, ‘For The Record,’ is out now via MackLife Records/So, Let’s Talk, distributed by Stem.

1. I Don’t Want To Think About You
