Les Friction's debut album
Les Friction's first album, of the same name, is finally here.

Another brotherhood that came into play was that between Nihl and a mesmerizing singer by the name of “Paint”. While vocal duties were shared in the making of this record, Paint’s ability to deliver the emotional weight of the story made him the perfect messenger", Les Friction explains on their site.
The result of this is a total of nine tracks unique in their genre, mixing rock, orchestra, and influenced by the style of E.S. Posthumus, Helmut Vonlichten's former company. Each one tells a story; some are about space travels and fights: "We have the force to fight/ We have the blinding light/ We have the will to win/ Forever we’ll defend/ Knocking out the sun/ With a runaway transmission/ A force that can’t be heard/ Coming in louder than words"; and some of the stories are more intimist and talk of love, suffering, and loss: "I hear your voice but you’re not here/ I walk the halls and I’m alone/You’re not coming home/ I’m holding out til we’re out of time/ Would you pierce the veil/ Would you cross the line/ I can feel you here, souls redefined/ I can’t let go of our design/ Come back to me".
Les Friction is available in digital format on iTunes (main versions + instrumental versions in bonus), and in digital and physical format on Bandcamp (withouth the intrumental versions).

The Best of Brand X Music

You may have recently noticed a GC code on the Brand X Music Facebook page. And you probably were very curious to know which URL it opens! For those who don't have a mobile phone that can scan GC codes (which are also known as QR codes), the answer is here: http://thebestofbrandxmusic.com/
If you are now wondering what the countdown clock is for, here is one more clue:
Now, you probably have a fair idea of what's going on at Brand X Music... Yes, they are about to release an album, and yes, this will be their first public CD! "Brand X Music is thrilled to announce our first ever PUBLIC RELEASE! “The Best of Brand X Music" features 23 of our most popular tracks, as well as a few personal favorites.

Some of the tracks have been edited or slightly rearranged, to make them even better. The Best of Brand X Music will feature tracks from John Sponsler, Tom Gire, and Joshua Lynch.
To conclude, (right when I write this), only 1 week, 4 days, 00 hour, 43 minutes and 31 seconds are left until the release of the album...
