POWER PROG is very pleased to announce the signing of the
international and highly occupied prog rock/pop-rock lineup
MOONBOUND. The first common goal is the worldwide release of
their upcoming third album "uncomfortable News From The Moon"
from September 18th, 2015 as CD, download card, digital download
and as stream.
MOONBOUND is the brainchild of vocalist, multi-instrumentalist
and producer Fabio Trentini (well known for fans and the trade press
in Europe for his work with acts like Subway To Sally, H-Blockx,
Guano Apes, Sasha, Le Orme, Milan Polak, All Ends ...). Offering
up an eclectic blend of hooky, 80s-influenced pop with progressive
rock sensibilities, MOONBOUND captured the attention of
audiences with their 2009s album "Confession And Release" and
its 2011 follow-up, the critically-acclaimed "Peak Of Eternal Light".
Both albums featured the notable contributions of prog rock
luminaries Markus Reuter (Stick Men) and Pat Mastelotto (King
Crimson, Mr. Mister).
Tracklist ...
01. As Long As The Dream Is Real

03. Union
04. The Sacred Flame
05. Cheetah Conquers The Moon Part 1
06. The Real Loneliness

For MOONBOUNDs newest album, Trentini reunited with Reuter and Mastelotto, adding an all-star cast of
musicians including Tony Levin (Peter Gabriel, King Crimson), Steve Farris and Steve George (both of Mr. Mister),
Tim Pierce (session guitarist for Phil Collins, Roger Waters, and Carlos Santana), Milan Polak and many more.
Loaded with infectious hooks, spiced with catchy melodies and laced with dark progressive themes,
"Uncomfortable News From The Moon" exhibits MOONBOUND at its absolute musical and lyrical peak. And once
again Trentini proves his skills as an extremely capable singer with a distinctive and empathetic voice that puts the
crown on this masterpiece. An album not only for fans of the genre, mass compatibility is more than guaranteed
and could make "Uncomfortable News From The Moon" a trendsetter in terms of modern prog rock & pop music.
Touring in support of the new album will take place throughout Europe during 2015 and 2016. In the style of such
legendary trios as Rush and The Police, Trentini has formed a three-man live lineup comprised of himself (bass and
vocals), Milan Polak (guitar, backing vocals), and Luca Casagranda (drums, backing vocals).
