From Italy comes the three-piece band Moustache Prawn with their second
full-length album titled "Erebus." The new release is considered a
concept album about the fantasy tale that covers environmental issues
and animal rights. The new thirteen-song release, begins with the quick
one-minute acoustic instrumental "Kerguelen," which leads into the bands
iconic alternative/pop sound of "Something Is Growing." Moustache Prawn
expand upon their sound with the grunge-like appeal of "Animals," while
"Eating Plants" has a gentle folk-like quality. They use the marching
rhythm of "Mountaintop" to get the energy pumping, before closing with
the bass driven rocker "Waterquake" and the gentle Phish-like flow of
"Natural Habitat." To find out more about Moustache Prawn and their

British singer/songwriter Martin Bramah has a busy year ahead of him. He
recently released his latest solo album titled "The Battle Of Twisted
Heel," along with a new studio album from The Blue Orchids, the band he
started after leaving The Fall. His new solo release was recorded over
two sessions, and features some of Bramah's best songwriting. The
acoustic protest-folk delivery of "The Fall Of Great Britian," sets the
stage for Bramah to lay out all his ideas in these acoustic, demo-like
form. He falls into perfect form for "Stone Tumbling Stream," which is
more powerful in this raw form than what any band would add to it. He
strums a love song for "Lucybel" as it feels like a work in progress,
while the alternate mix of "Strangely Lucid" sounds like it came from
the Lou Reed songbook. His new eleven-song solo release closes with the
folk/rock appeal of "Green Rocky Road" and the up-tempo pop mix of
"Necessity." To find out more about Martin Bramah, please visit facebook.com/Blue-Orchids.
Singer/songwriter Karen Haglof celebrated turning 60, by creating a new
album titled "Perseverance And Grace," which will be released on April
22nd. This album is the follow-up to her critically acclaimed debut
album "Western Holiday." Karen stated she wanted to get back to
playing guitar, which she definitely does on this set of twelve rockers.
Beginning with the acoustic country swing of "Cowgirl Clothes" and
"Trouble (Won't Say More)," you'd thing she was a classic country
artist, but Karen has trick up her sleeve. When she plugs in for the
title-song, "Perseverance And Grace," she is all business on the guitar
as she leaves the country sounds behind for this alternative-type
rocker. She keeps the energy flowing with the southern slide guitar
boogie of "Tornado (Through The Bottleneck)," before returning to the folk/rock appeal of "Cobwebs." She finishes the album with the
intense, thunderous rock of "Hair Bite," the gentle flow of "Seesaw" and
light-hearted, relaxed feel of "Cool Down." To find out more about
