Declassified Records is proud to announce the newest album from progressive fusion legends “BangTower” entitled “ With
N With Out” is now also available in retail stores in Japan serviced by
Marquee Distribution. The highly anticipated 13 track sophomore album,
originally released late December, marks the first full length CD since
the internationally acclaimed 2010 debut release, “Casting Shadows”.
Returning
to the project are fretless bass guitar legend Percy Jones of “Brand
X”, Grammy winner Neil Citron, “L.A. Drum Guru” Walter Garces, and
musician/producer Jon Pomplin. In addition, the album also features
several guest artists including drummers Frankie Banali of “Quite
Riot” and Rodger Carter of “John 5” as well as fretless bassist
Robertino “Pag” Pagliari of “Ohm”, Joan Fraley of “The Rave”, Chris
Colovus, Josh Greenbaum and Justin Stone.
BangTower
was designed from the beginning to explore new musical landscapes by
bringing together artists from different musical specialties,
disciplines and physical locations to create something exciting and
exceptional. When numerous unavoidable and unexpected scheduling issues
arose with the core members after production of the new record had
started, the concept was expanded to include several other friends of
the band as guest musicians to complete the record. The result turned
out even better than anticipated and remained true to the BangTower
ideal.
By
combining digital technology and traditional studio recording
techniques, musicians from New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Hawaii
were able to collaborate, write and record intricate, soulful music with
a distinctive and fresh personality that is can be enjoyed numerous
times. Compositions that challenged each player's imagination and style
by pushing the edge of their musical “comfort zone”, while remaining
familiar and accessible to both the musician and non-musician fan alike.
Although each piece of music is an exceptional stand-alone masterpiece,
each track remains an integral part of the over-all context and feel of
the album, and the BangTower project as a whole.
Special
“limited edition” autographed CD bundles and merchandise are also
available from the official BangTower store located at BandCamp. http://bangtower.bandcamp.com/ merch
