Daymares sign with Selfmadegod
Warsaw-based newborn hardcore / death'n'roll kingpins have entered into cooperation with Selfmadegod Records on the first days of September. As a result of the agreement, the newfangled four-piece will soon begin recording their debut full-length album for an early 2007 release. Followers of both hardcore / punk rock and death'n'roll of Entombed fame cannot afford to miss it.
"We are extremely happy with a possibility to release our debut album on Selfmadegod Records" comments the band. Karol (owner) seems to be really into what we are doing, and the label is definitely most thriving company and HC / punk distributor in the country, hence there was not a matter of debate to start the cooperation."
"We are very proud of the fact that such band as Daymares has found its place under protective wings of Selfmadegod Records. This is undoubtedly one of the most promising new groups on the hardcore / metal scene. We are eagerly looking forward to debut album, which will certainly appeal to many fans" predicts labels owner Karol Pienko.
Daymares has been around for not much more than 7 months. It started when Arek, Pat and Marcin started to jam together in late winter of 2006 to create the monster that they had thought about doing for a long time. The idea behind the band was to bridge heavy HC, death'n'roll and punk rock. The heaviness and brutality, the anger, the fury, the intensity, and the passion for underground ethics, combined with outspoken lyrical content.
Soon, they teamed up with Grzesiek who is, by the way, Marcin's twin brother. He dug the vibe of the band like nobody else and from then on things went really fast. Practicing like crazy all spring they managed to record "Darkness" for an Integrity tribute album on Escapist Artist, then soon after they entered the Serakos Studio to record a 5-track demo, as they did, the summer was upon them. The songs can be found at http://myspace.com/yourdaymares.
"We are currently in the midst of writing for what will become our debut album, most likely to complete it by the end of November in order to focus on details later on" specify the band. Daymares are busy writing more songs in order to start playing shows and record a full-length album soon. The as-yet-untitled record is scheduled to be out early 2007.

A few years after hearing demos of a never-released Joe Lynn Turner album, the folks at Frontiers Records were inspired to assemble and release the debut album from Sunstorm, an exciting new project featuring the acclaimed singer. The self-titled release has been released in America through Frontiers/Locomotive. Though the majority of the tracks were written by celebrated songwriter Jim Peterik, the man responsible for the band Survivor's biggest hits, additional material was culled from a variety of sources, including Jack Ponti, Laurence Alan Dvoskin, Van Stephenson, Dave Robbins, Dan Huff, Jon Astley, Marilyn Martin, and John Parr. This project was very invigorating and brought back some great memories, said Turner. It is a shame these songs were not released back in the mid-80s when they had the perfect sound for AOR radio. However, it's great to see Locomotive has put them out here in the States to revive interest. The songs were very well-crafted songs that could stand test of time in the classic sense of the word. I have talked to so many people who loved this sound. They still love it now but have no idea that this music is still being made. I hope to bring back this sound and reconnect the fans who still love it. The musicians who join Turner in the Sunstorm project are bassist Dennis Ward (who also produced the record), guitarist Uwe Reitenauer, drummer Chris Schmidt, and keyboardist Jochen Weyer. The group’s moniker was presented to Turner by Frontiers. I thought it fit perfectly, he said. I am also a Fire Sign (Zodiac)...and I can be a bit of a sunstorm personality wise, so that worked as well. With decades of recording and numerous projects and bands under his belt, Sunstorm presented Turner with the opportunity to work with and explore the depths of yet another group talent. I still put a lot of heart and soul into everything I do, musically, the singer said. That has not changed. What always changes and is always an adventure is the collaborators. Sure, I have some favorite people I collaborate with on my solo records but I have worked with a diverse array of writers and musicians. It's and enriching experience...almost spiritual in some ways. www.frontiers.it
