with Dark Star Records:
“We were incredibly excited to be a part of the Dark Star/Sony/Universal family. There were three labels interested in picking the band up after the untimely passing of Bill and Lori Chavis from HighVolMusic. After navigating the legal challenges and getting an artist release from our current contract, we settled on the label we felt that would best serve the band. We are looking forward to our future relationship, and getting out on the road to promote our new music”

A Rising Force is an all original Minnesota rock act made up of musicians from prominent regional and national musical pasts. The band collectively have had multiple albums released, MMA nominations & awards, along with national and international touring backgrounds.
A Rising Force’s members are no stranger to the recording industry: Guitarist Leni DiMancari (Founding member of Hurricane Alice who changed their name to Hericane Alice for Atlantic Records) has recorded with members of Y&T, Le Mans, Cacophony, and Montrose.
Bass player Brian Lorenson and Drummer Lane Allen were members of Dare Force. DiMancari, Allen, and Lorenson were all part of the last incarnation of the band prior to A Rising Force.
Dare Force (who’s original lead vocalist was Dave Reese) eventually reached international status touring and worldwide distribution for their 4 albums. A Rising Force lead singer Mark Westlund recorded with Them Pesky Kids, Touched, and performed on a host of tribute albums.
Their motto is “Old school rock with a new world attitude” and the album definitely shows it on every track of the debut of A Rising Force. The music is guitar-driven commercial hard rock combined with 4-part harmonies, and all fronted by an arena rock lead vocalist. The songs are all real-life experiences and stories about life, love, loss, heartache, and the world around us.

The Curse of Lilith Ratchet
The Absence Project is a New Orleans based rock band currently comprised of veteran “Big Easy” musicians Richard White (guitar/vocals), Jody Linnell (bass), and Justin Perez (drums). The group was formed in early 2014, and the band sites several different influences for their sound, both individual and collective. It was understood since the conception of the band that the project would be more about writing songs rather than over analyzing arrangements, riffs, time signatures, etc.
The group has limitless potential, and a very marketable sound, with an intense live performance to match. The band will be steadily releasing new material (songs and videos), touring, and growing their already impressive fan base. The Absence Project seems to be headed in the right direction for success, and is a must see when they are in your area.
