THE SEPIA Jack Granite here with a mini update on what's happening in Sepia land. The first thing is a nice piece of recognition in the shape of an award! The Sepia have been rated as one of the top ten artists on mPulse.com, in both the overall and 'electronic music' categories. Unfortunately the award isn't of the solid precious metal variety so they can't melt it down and sell it to buy new keyboards! Also, you can check out new reviews of The Sepia on http://www.annanova.com and http://www.electromancer.com, both very favourable! The other exciting piece of news is that the gang had a meeting the other day to finalise the details for the imminent release of the new album, 'One'. I've been privy to the final tracklisting and I'm sure you can't wait to get hold of the finished product. New sound bites will appear on the 'hear' page of the web site soon to whet your appetite so keep checking in to http://www.the-sepia.co.uk. Even more new equipment has been added to the studios. The talented trio were ooh-ing and ahh-ing over them so I guess they're good pieces of kit but I don't understand these things so can't give you any details! There's no further news to report on the film work that has been mentioned so I guess no news is good news, as the saying goes. Obviously as soon as anything is confirmed I'll let you know.

Red to Violet may be a colorful band, but unlike a lot of other artists, they're not likely to fade." music critic Omar Perez is a popular radio DJ on EyeQ radio Miami, Florida and CD reviewer on www.AltarNative.com Red to Violet on U.S. radio number of U.S.A. radios that play Red to Violet now reaching 150, including collegestations like KTUH on sunny Hawaii...!!! and the number is still growing! radio-DJ's love the sound of Red to Violet which they describe as a "radio friendly unique rock sound" Red to Violet in U.S. music book "A Different Recording Process" is the title of the chapter about indie Red to Violet debut album recordings in the upcoming book "Working Musicians" by wellknown U.S. music author Bruce Pollock. it includes the story behind the recording, the soundscaping, the business, the help of rockheroes Golden Earring, working in Abbey Road "Beatles" studios & more...
