Die Norwegische Rock Band FAITH CIRCUS unterschreiben bei MelodicRock Records und werden ihr neues Album mit dem Titel "Turn Up The Band" mit 10 neuen Songs plus 3 Bonus Songs am 23. September 2013 veröffentlichen. Als Gast Sängerin wird Robin Beck auf dem Album zu hören sein. Jetzt wurde der neue Song "Inside The Circus" als Stream online gestellt.
Sänger Marc Farrano sagte: "In this day and age where you can't seem to swing a dead cat without hitting a record lable it's real easy to jump in and make the wrong decision, and maybe get screwd over by someone out to make a quick buck! We first came into contact with Andrew (McNeice) when our friends in On The Rise got signed to Frontiers Records in 2003, and have been talking with him, off and on for the past ten years. Like so many, many others we appreciate and enjoy his great website on a daily basis and it's easy to see that this guy loves what he does, and is a true fan of melodic/classic rock, and music: period!
You need to have a passion for what you do to be doing something like this for free all these years! Therefore it felt totally natural when we first heard he was setting up a label a few years back, and when we finally had finished our album and sorted out our personal issues contacting him first to see if he would be interested in getting behind the new Faith Circus release was a no-brainer. Luckily he "got it" right away and invited us to join the MRR family!
We feel truly blessed and excited to have a guy in our corner we know always puts the artist first! This gives us new "hope" and courage to keep on making music in a business that only seems to get harder and harder for any new up and coming, as well as the established bands!"
"Wow! What can we say?! It's been 5 long years since our first release (not counting the 2010 digital remixed debut album and the 2012 live digital EP "5.l.i.v.e.") and a lot has happened! Our first album was labelled AOR/melodic rock, and although this might have been a true description at the time Faith Circus has always been just an old fashion rock `n roll band! This time around we have the opportunity to show a bit more of who we are as the album contains co-writes from almost every member in the band. The decision was made to cut back on the mid tempo/slow songs as there are enough, great ones, to choose from on our debut. We also managed to include some cool, special guests (read the booklet!), mostly for our own pleasure!
The album were, like last time, recorded at Tomtom Studio in our hometown of Bergen, by Thomas "Tomtom" Haugland. The mixing process was a co-effort between Tomtom and the band, and finally mastering was left in the more than capable hands of Dennis Ward (Pink Cream 69, House Of Lords, Tesla, etc...)
Although the album has been ready to go for some time it still feels fresh every time we put in on....and that has to be a good sign, right?! We like to view the album as a hard-hitting, loud, massive testament (inviting you to sing along!) to that rock `n roll is very much alive & kickin in 2013! No gimmicks here, no retro act...it's like the fuckin 90's never happened! And if YOU want a piece of the action all you gotta do is...Turn Up The Band!!"
