MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST, PRODUCER AND THE PINEAPPLE THIEF FRONTMAN BRUCE SOORD RELEASES NEW SINGLE AND VIDEO ‘MEET ME ON THE DOWNS’

SECOND SINGLE FROM NEW SOLO ALBUM ‘GHOSTS IN THE PARK’

SET FOR RELEASE ON 15th MAY 2026

As founding member and principal songwriter of The Pineapple Thief, Bruce Soord has spent the last decade steadily refining a voice that balances emotional directness with musical restraint. Set for release on 15th May, Ghosts In The Park, his latest solo album, is his most personal and unguarded work to date: a record shaped by loss, memory, and the quiet spaces that reveal themselves when life continues to move while everything else appears to stop. Today, Bruce has shared the album’s second single ‘Meet Me On The Downs’ alongside a new video produced by George Laycock @ Blacktide Productions.


WATCH THE NEW VIDEO FOR ‘MEET ME ON THE DOWNS’, PRODUCED BY GEORGE LAYCOCK: https://youtu.be/I7a7Wkn_v64

I wrote this in a hotel room in Hamburg while touring with The Pineapple Thief. The words came later. I remember writing about losing my father while driving to clear out his old retirement flat. ‘The stillness in the car’ as I sat there, looking at the place I only ever knew with him in it. Opening the door to see all his clothes and photographs.. ‘A lifetime scattered amongst the clothes’. I went back to my studio, intent on creating something positive from the loss. So I shut my eyes and wrote down the earliest memories I could conjure up from my mind, not the messy, difficult ones from his final years. These words formed the second half of the song.  So really, it’s just a song about life and cherished memories. – Bruce Soord

Acoustic guitar sits at the centre of the record, often captured in raw, first-take performances recorded directly in hotel rooms before being carefully integrated with studio recordings. This tension between fragility and control defines the album’s sound. Tracks such as “Concepción,” “Meet Me On The Downs,” and the title piece were conceived in specific places – Chile, Hamburg, Oberhausen – each location leaving a subtle imprint on the music. Parks, harbours, and anonymous rooms become recurring settings where past and present coexist, intersected by fleeting moments of clarity amongst the disorder.

Performed almost entirely by Soord himself, with bass contributions from Jon Sykes on “Kept Me Thinking,” the album was recorded using a combination of hotel-room captures and studio sessions, preserving the immediacy of its origins. Mastered by Steve Kitch, Ghosts In The Park stands as a stark, reflective and evolutionary companion piece to Soord’s acclaimed previous solo work.

“We Go All Night Long is a summer anthem driven by big guitars and high energy—it’s about those special moments when the crowd is singing, partying, and nobody wants the night to end.” — Mike Mostert

Jann Klose Releases Bold New Single “Future Trap”

For Immediate Release

Jann Klose Releases Bold New Single “Future Trap”

Global singer-songwriter sets the tone for upcoming album with genre-blending new release

Stream “Future Trap” here: https://found.ee/2Cn7IC

Watch the lyric video: https://youtu.be/hQgdr7TbKmg

New York City, NY – Internationally acclaimed artist Jann Klose returns with his compelling new single, “Future Trap,” offering a bold and sonically rich preview of his forthcoming album The Future Trap, due for release on 29 May 2026. The new single releases today, 17 April 2026.

A dynamic collaboration between Klose and producer-songwriter Marcus Dembinski, “Future Trap” is a rare creative partnership in which both of them co-wrote and co-produced the track – and even performed every instrument on the final recording. The result is a genre-defying sound that fuses reggaeton-inspired rhythms with elements of West African percussion, 80s-style synths, and rock guitar textures.

“The origin of ‘Future Trap’ actually begins a few years ago, around the time of Jann’s last record Surrender,” says Dembinski. “Jann sent me a series of demos, among which was the vocal hook for ‘Future Trap’. While it wasn’t right for that project, it stayed with me. When we revisited it in 2025, we built a groove that sampled bits of Jann’s past to create something both nostalgic and new. The energy in the studio was so electric that we ended up playing every instrument on the track ourselves.”

At its core, “Future Trap” explores the universal struggle of falling back into familiar patterns. “We constructed a story about a character who just can’t help himself from repeating the same mistakes,” Dembinski adds. “That idea became so powerful, it ultimately shaped the direction of the entire album.”

For Klose, the track marks a continuation of a deeply collaborative and creatively fulfilling partnership. “After the success of ‘Surrender’, Marcus and I really found our groove (pun intended),” he says. “He’s the first producer I’ve worked with across multiple albums, and our connection makes the process incredibly fluid. We recorded live drums and vocals at The Koop Studios in Irvington, New York, with additional sessions in Manhattan and Astoria. It’s a blend of spaces that mirrors the layered sound of the track itself.”

Raised across Kenya, South Africa, Germany, and the United States, Klose’s music reflects a truly global perspective. With eight albums and two EPs to his name, Jann’s recent releases Surrender and In Tandem have amassed over 10 million streams, charting on Top 40 radio in both the US and South Africa resulting in over 7000 spins across radio.

Beyond the stage, Jann served as the singing voice of Tim Buckley in the 2012 film Greetings from Tim Buckley, and his music has been featured on Billboard Top 10 compilations, GRAMMY®-nominated projects, and in film and television including MTV Cribs and the movies Married Young, Dead Broke and One Little Finger, where he worked alongside the legendary Quincy Jones.

A seasoned performer, Jann has appeared in touring productions of Broadway classics such as Jesus Christ Superstar, Jekyll & Hyde, and The Who’s Tommy, and has collaborated with an extraordinary list of artists including Pat Benatar, John Oates, Suzanne Vega, Paula Cole, Rosanne Cash, Alicia Madison, The Yardbirds, Renaissance and Annie Haslam, Roger McGuinn, Jeffrey Gaines, Pete Seeger, and Les Paul.

In addition to his music, Klose hosts the popular podcast Making Sound with Jann Klose, which has featured over 140 episodes with leading voices from across the global music industry, most recently welcoming the sensational synth pop icon Howard Jones to the show.

With “Future Trap,” Jann Klose not only delivers a standout single but also sets the stage for an ambitious new album era and one that promises to push sonic boundaries while staying rooted in honest storytelling.

“Future Trap” is available on all major streaming platforms from today.

Progressive Rock Band Brass Camel Releases Third Album “Brass Camel”, Mixed by Legendary Producer Terry Brown – OUT NOW!

By glassonyonpr

For Immediate Release

Progressive Rock Band Brass Camel Releases Third Album “Brass Camel”, Mixed by Legendary Producer Terry Brown – OUT NOW!

Vancouver-based progressive rock band Brass Camel releases their third album Brass Camel today, April 15th, 2026.

Listen to Brass Camel: http://linktr.ee/listentobrasscamel

The album was recorded primarily at Chalet Studios in Uxbridge and co-produced by Kevin Comeau (Crown Lands). The mix of this new album gets a decidedly more old-school treatment this time as the band had the honour of getting Terry Brown of Rush production fame on board. Says Terry, “Some classic influences here on the new Brass Camel album, so couple that with cool tunes, great arrangements, excellent lyric writing and superb execution by a group of talented musicians – you get great results! Thanks for having me mix this epic.”

“It’s prog rock, but shot through with numerous clever pop, oddball and even funky quirks that keep it averse to neat categorisation – sort of like Frank Zappa sharing a fat spliff with Mott The Hoople, in a really eclectic record shop, dancing in the aisles as they hold up different sleeves.” – Classic Rock Magazine on “Everybody Loves a Scandal”

“Putting colour and fun back into modern music.” – PROG Magazine

This upcoming self-titled record represents both a consolidation of the band’s previous strengths, and an evolution in other ways. Brass Camel is the first album of material entirely written during the tenure of the current lineup. Even the previous album Camel, recorded with the full five-piece, still contained much material conceived during more primordial stages of the Brass Camel project. The band sees this as a culmination of a loose three-album cycle that firmly establishes what they’re about, as evidenced by the cheeky progression of titles Brass, Camel, and finally Brass Camel.

Says guitarist Daniel Sveinson, “Brass Camel is, appropriately, the first Brass Camel record that I feel sounds like a Brass Camel record. We’ve spent god knows how many hours in a bus together, in studio together and onstage together and I’d like to believe that is reflected in this collection of songs and recordings. We were focused, driven and motivated throughout the process and can’t wait to play these songs live all over the country and, later this year, in Europe (and hopefully the UK).”

One goal the band had for this new album was for the lyrical content to be more central to the creative process. Says keyboardist Aubrey Ellefson, “Each track here explores a specific concept or story; from the legend of the Jersey Devil, to a dramatic narration of the Titan submersible disaster, to tackling the can of worms that is AI vs. the creative process, and many more.”

Says Daniel, “This album is more lyrically dense – there’s a higher word count here than our first two LPs put together – and more musically ambitious, weirder and yet somehow more accessible than our previous efforts. There are a lot of subtleties and easter eggs hidden in the arrangements which I hope will make each listen more entertaining than the last! When it’s funk, it’s funkier. When it’s proggy, it’s proggier. When it’s loud, it’s louder. When it’s quiet, it’s quieter. There’s a lot more of a lot more but it’s all Brass Camel. Hope you enjoy it.”

1. You’ve Got Time

About Brass Camel:
Vancouver’s Brass Camel is a rock band that defies labels, fusing deep-pocket funk, face-melting prog, and massive-harmony art rock. Since releasing their debut album Brass in 2022, they’ve played over 180 shows, including four national Canadian tours, major festivals (Between the Peaks, Starbelly Jam, Wapiti), and stages like Vancouver’s Commodore Ballroom, Vogue Theatre, and a Toronto headliner at the historic Longboat Hall. Their musicianship and work ethic have earned endorsements from Sabian, Rotosound UK, Pro Mark Drumsticks and Evans Drumheads. In 2024, their cover of Sabrina Carpenter’s Please Please Please on Musora’s Covers Challenge took off on YouTube, drawing 750,000 views and counting. Their sophomore album Camel (spring 2025) brought international press, reaction videos, and steady LP sales. While touring in support of this album, the band recorded their third LP at Uxbridge’s pastoral Chalet Studio with Kevin Comeau of Crown Lands co-producing. Mixed by the legendary Terry Brown (Rush, Hendrix, The Who, Blue Rodeo), the upcoming (April 2026) release marks a bold leap in songwriting, distilling Brass Camel’s road-forged sound into something entirely their own.

14-PIECE FRANK ZAPPA TRIBUTE ANNOUNCES SOUTHWEST SPRING TOUR WITH ZAPPA ALUM, NAPOLEON MURPHY BROCK

By glassonyonpr

For Immediate Release

14-PIECE FRANK ZAPPA TRIBUTE ANNOUNCES SOUTHWEST SPRING TOUR WITH ZAPPA ALUM, NAPOLEON MURPHY BROCK

The Stinkfoot Orchestra’s April–May run includes a headline slot at San Diego’s Global Earth Day Festival, first-ever shows in Phoenix and Las Vegas, and a two-night no-repeat Vegas stand

BAY AREA, CA — The Stinkfoot Orchestra, a Bay Area-based 14-piece ensemble dedicated to the music of Frank Zappa, will launch a Southwest spring tour beginning April 16, bringing one of rock’s most ambitious catalogs to stages across California, Arizona, and Nevada.

Fronted by Napoleon Murphy Brock and featuring a history of collaborations with Zappa alumni including Ike Willis and Ray White, the band’s 2026 spring run includes a headline performance at San Diego’s 34th Annual Global Earth Day Festival, first-ever appearances in Phoenix and Las Vegas, and a two-night late-night stand in Las Vegas featuring more than 70 songs with no repeats.

Known for combining musical precision with theatrical irreverence, The Stinkfoot Orchestra has built a devoted following on the West Coast by bringing Frank Zappa’s technically demanding music to life through a 14-piece lineup featuring a six-piece horn section, five vocalists, tuned percussion, and a stage show that embraces both the complexity and absurdity of Zappa’s work.

“I appreciate the fact that they prepared themselves properly. They learned the music properly, they play the right notes and they are articulate about it. If they weren’t doing it correctly, I wouldn’t show up. The standard is high.”
– Napoleon Murphy Brock, Frank Zappa alumnus and Stinkfoot Orchestra frontman.

The tour opens at Venice West in Venice Beach on April 16 – a favorite stop both for the band and fans alike where past performances have included sit-ins by several Zappa alumni including Bruce Fowler and Arthur Barrow. Venice is followed by a stop at Spaghetti Western in Morongo Valley on April 17. On April 19, the band will headline the Global Earth Day Festival at the WorldBeat Cultural Center in San Diego’s Balboa Park.

From there, the band heads to Arizona for a return to Tucson at 191 Toole on April 22, followed by its first-ever Phoenix performance at The Rhythm Room on April 23.

The run reaches a peak on April 24 and 25 in Las Vegas, where The Stinkfoot Orchestra will make its Vegas debut with two complete, late-night performances at The Bonfire following Phish’s second weekend at the Sphere. Curated by Cash or Trade, the shows are being billed as two nights of music with no repeated songs between them.

The band returns home to Northern California to conclude the tour with 3 dates at Cornerstone in Berkeley on April 30, The Boardwalk in Orangevale on May 1, and Lost on Main in Chico on May 2.

“The connection between the musicians is palpable, Chargin making it look easy is an illusion that is the product of countless hours of practice. Even my untrained ears recognize the technical ability required of all the musicians to deliver. ”
– Spike Steffenhagen, San Diego Reader (March 2024)

“The impression left upon driving home from this experience was one of deep appreciation mixed with laughter and amazement. The Stinkfoot Orchestra is more than worthy of your time and money.”
– Ted Silverman, JamBase (September 2021)

Apr 16 — Venice West — Venice Beach, CA — 8pm
Apr 17 — Spaghetti Western — Morongo Valley, CA — 9pm
Apr 19 — WorldBeat Cultural Center Global Earth Day Festival — San Diego, CA — Headlining

Chilean Proggers Aisles Unveil New Single ‘Now Is The Time’

By glassonyonpr


For Immediate Release

Chilean Proggers Aisles Unveil New Single ‘Now Is The Time’

Second single from upcoming 2026 album

Chilean progressive rock band Aisles today release their new single ‘Now Is The Time’, the second track unveiled from their forthcoming studio album, scheduled for release in the second half of 2026.

Watch the lyric video here: https://youtu.be/-x-eqXrt7Yg

Stream here: https://farolatino.ffm.to/now-is-the-time

The release arrives during a period of growing international recognition for Aisles. In December 2025, they became the first South American band to sell their records and merchandise through the influential UK progressive music platform Burning Shed, placing them alongside artists such as Porcupine Tree, Steven Wilson and Opeth in the store’s catalogue.

‘Now Is The Time’ continues the creative chapter that began with the single ‘Blue Skies‘, released in July 2025. Following that release, Aisles toured the United Kingdom, performing in Edinburgh, Southampton, Camden and Sheffield, and appearing at HRH Prog Festival in Great Yarmouth.

During the same trip, the band recorded a special live session inside Studio 3 at Abbey Road Studios, one of the most iconic recording spaces in music history. The performance, filmed during the tour, made Aisles the first Chilean band to present a live performance recorded inside the legendary London studios.

Their recent single ‘Now Is the Time’ offers another glimpse into the musical direction of the band’s upcoming album. The song is inspired by the idea of forbidden love: two people who care deeply for each other but face pressure from the world around them. Family, social expectations, religion, or authority figures may disapprove — even though the two people involved genuinely love each other and want to be together.

The lyrics explore what happens when someone chooses to obey those external voices instead of their own heart. In the story, one person ultimately walks away, leaving the other questioning how something real could be abandoned simply to satisfy the expectations of others.

The chorus becomes a turning point: “Now is the time” emerges as a mantra — a call to live authentically and act according to one’s own feelings rather than surrender to fear or pressure. In the final section of the track, a choir enters and expands the emotional scale of the music, turning the message into something universal: an invitation to live truthfully and follow the voice of one’s soul.

Musically, the track highlights the evolving chemistry of the current lineup: Boris Seeder (vocals), Germán Vergara (guitar), Juan Pablo Gaete (keyboards), Daniel Concha (bass), and Álvaro Poblete (drums). Mixed by Adam Noble (Leprous, Placebo) the track showcases the unique combination of intricate melodies, expansive atmospheres and ambitious conceptual storytelling that across five studio albums has made Aisles develop a distinctive voice within modern progressive rock and gain in return a loyal international fan base.

This is the second single taken from their forthcoming sixth studio album, the first full-length recording developed entirely with Boris Seeder as lead vocalist.

Having released five highly acclaimed studio albums, progressive rock band AISLES have created an unparalleled musical approach that combines intricate melodies and sonic openness. They have toured the Americas, Europe, and performed with prog legends Marillion, Focus, and Riverside.

In 2005, AISLES released their debut album, The Yearning, recognized for its elegant and delicate melodic work. In 2009, their second album, In Sudden Walks, inspired by existential literature and theatre, was nominated for Best Foreign Record at the Prog Awards in Italy. Their third record, 4:45 AM (2013) was ranked among the best albums of that year in numerous publications specialized in progressive rock.

Their fourth studio album, Hawaii (2016), a conceptual double album that narrates the life of humanity in space after the destruction of the Earth, was called a “masterpiece”. The success of the album allowed AISLES to tour in Europe, the United States and Mexico.

In 2018, they released the EP Live from Estudio del Sur, complemented by four live-recorded videos available on YouTube. The band released their fifth album, Beyond Drama, on 5th April, 2023, after the departure of three members and the reconfiguration of the group. On 30th April, 2023, AISLES released the instrumental suite Bahamut, inspired by the science fiction novel of the same name written by Chilean author Francisco Ortega. On May 2024, they released the EP Obras de Los Jaivas, where they tribute Chilean prog folk group Los Jaivas, featuring four guest singers – and closed the year with new single ‘The Dream’, introducing new vocalist Boris Seeder. In 2025 Aisles performed alongside Leprous in the CL Prog festival – before releasing ‘Blue Skies’.

ITALIAN HARD ROCK/AOR BAND BLIND REVOLUTION RELEASES FAR FROM THE SUN WORLDWIDE THROUGH DEKO ENTERTAINMENT

By glassonyonpr

For Immediate Release

ITALIAN HARD ROCK/AOR BAND BLIND REVOLUTION RELEASES FAR FROM THE SUN WORLDWIDE THROUGH DEKO ENTERTAINMENT

THE FOLLOW UP TO THEIR 2020 ALBUM ‘MONEY, LOVE, LIGHT’

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. Their new album Far from the Sun released March 13th through Deko Entertainment.

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.”

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.”
