ANASTACIA
There are singers all-round the globe that unleash a worthy listen, an enjoyable song and a memorable sound. There are very few singers in the universe who embed that utterly unique tone you instantly, undoubtedly recognise. That captivating, spine tingling, soulful, big voice that warrants a superstar status.
Anastacia is just this. A superstar.

‘Resurrection’. A strong and interesting word. It is the translation of her name in Greek. It is description of something that is re-born. ‘Resurrection’ is fittingly the title of her new album. Anastacia has been on a long journey both in life and with her career in music. Sometimes you have to lose your way to find yourself again, overcome challenges, experiment, but if you’re focused enough you’ll find your way back. You’ll resurrect everything that went off track. If anyone knows how to find their inner strength, focus and not give up, it’s Anastacia.

ROGER HODGSON
Roger Hodgson is recognized as one of the most gifted composers, songwriters and lyricists of our time! As the legendary voice, writer and arranger of most of Supertramp’s greatest hits that led to more than 60 million record sales, he gave us amazingly enduring songs such as: “The Logical Song,” “Breakfast in America,” “Give a Little Bit,” “Take the Long Way Home,” “Dreamer,” "It's Raining Again,” “School,” “Fool's Overture” and so many others that have become the sound track of our lives.

Hodgson co-founded the progressive rock band Supertramp in 1969 and was with them for 14 years. Roger recently received two awards from ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers) for his songs being in the top played songs in their repertory, proving that they have indeed stood the test of time.

DEATH BY CHOCOLATE
It’s hard to avoid the overuse of superlatives when describing the new album from Death by Chocolate. The band’s close collaboration with Swedish producer Ronald Blood has resulted in a strong, raw, and passionate sound. «Among Sirens» doesn’t just reflect hefty doses of courage and creativity, DBC’s live performance is also tangible in the recording. The rock band from Biel have spent the last two years performing in notable places both in Switzerland and abroad (Musexpo in L.A., EXIT Festival in Serbia, Woodstock Poland). This experience has pushed Death by Chocolate to new heights, whilst at the same time they have made sure that they remain true to themselves and to be pragmatic over tempting offers.

Musically the band has managed to capture all the energy of a live performance in the album, something which is often lost when the sweat of the stage has dried and musicians walk into a studio or compromise their sound in a radio edit. Tracks such as «Siren Calls», «Alfred» or „If You Ask Me“, carry the full punch of the live performance. Even the quieter numbers have managed to retain the sweetness of the stage versions.

Following «From Birthdays to Funerals» Death by Chocolate have shifted their focus to more instrumental diversity and the use of modern technology. Without feeling bound by the past, the band has stayed open to the sometimes unusual approaches currently at play in the international music scene.

Fast-paced, multi-layered and melodic, «Among Sirens» is like a powerful coiled spring just waiting mercilessly to unfold Death by Chocolate’s own brand of rock’n’roll, ontoyour home sound system.
