Marillion and earMUSIC are delighted to announce the first of a series of deluxe album reissues, starting with the classic 1997 album This Strange Engine. The re-release of Marillion's ninth studio album almost three decades later, creates a heightened level of intimacy between music and listener.
Often referred to as the leaders of the neo-progressive movement of the early '80s, Marillion have expanded way beyond any such genre-restrictions. They are purveyors of soulful, powerful, and deeply moving music, with a longstanding reputation of impressive live shows which have elicited their faithful and loyal global fan base. Steve Hogarth's incredible voice and fine lyricism sets up Steve Rothery's inspired guitar solos and adventurous melodic journeys. The backbone of the ensemble, Ian Mosley on drums, Mark Kelly on keys, and Pete Trewavas on bass interact instinctively to complete the band's unique chemistry. (continue)
Metalville Records announces November 15th as the international release date for Trapeze's Lost Tapes Vol. 2. When rock band Trapeze called it a day, they left behind them a series of now-classic albums. Their influence on other groups has been immense, with individual members themselves going on to join heavyweight rock acts such as Deep Purple, Whitesnake, Judas Priest, and Uriah Heep. But their story's not over, as Trapeze's Lost Tapes Vol. 2 continues to prove!
Recorded either side of album releases, these are great songs, stockpiled, but never released - some with the intention of developing them even further later, as Trapeze hit the ground running, playing live relentlessly, honing their craft while rarely seeing home. Here, too, you'll find rare lineups featured - previously only rumored at, often considered fable at best - but now revealed proudly for the first time and given their deserved day in the sun.

Sting releases his new song - "I Wrote Your Name (Upon My Heart)" via Cherrytree Music Company/Interscope Records. The correlating music video was also released today.
In "I Wrote Your Name (Upon My Heart)," Sting and his three-piece rock combo uncork a variation of what renowned computer scientist Dr. Godfried Toussaint called "The Rhythm that Conquered the World."

Sting's new "I Wrote Your Name (Upon My Heart)" features a permutation of this very lively beat. (continue)
Motorhead have announced that they will be releasing the new "We Take No Prisoners' The Singles 1995 - 2006" box set on October 25th that will feature a
collection of a & b sides in a deluxe 7" set, expanded cd and digital.
Here is the official announcement: Back in the golden era of the single of the 1970's and 80's, Motorhead would regularly assault the ears of chart listeners on a Sunday afternoon with a string of hit smashes in the rock charts of the time. The single as a format may have been less prominent from the 90's onwards due to the dawn of the CD, but that didn't diminish the calibre of the singles and promos that Motorhead continued to release. These mostly CD singles are now rare and highly collectable, so it only feels fitting for this era of the band's bullet belt full of hits to be reappraised and released on the format that singles were born for, 7" vinyl.

NYC based alt rockers November Girl release their debut EP "Heart Prayer" today, and to celebrate we asked lead vocalist Willa Rudolph to tell us about the song "Altar". Here is the story:
"Altar" is the last song on our EP Heart Prayer. It began with a riff written by guitarist Billy Flanagan, but the lyrics were adapted from one of our older songs that we never released called "Leave LA." Both Billy and I are from LA and I think both experience the feeling of not wanting to leave the city (NYC) when we're here, but then not wanting to come back when we're in California. It's the constant feeling that one day you'll have to make a permanent decision of where to reside, and like your heart is torn in two, one half 3000 miles away from the other. (continue)
