L.A. Project is an international melodic metal/rock effort that was started by Luis Amaro during the pandemic. In order to bring his ideas to life, he recruited drummer Fábio Alessandrini (Annihilator, Bonfire), bassist Rich Gray (Annihilator, Aeon Zen), and vocalist Lukky Sparxx (Exxocet). In April, Amaro released L.A. Project‘s debut EP “5 Dimensions” and is now following it up with a fresh new single “Carry On”. When asked about the track and the listening experience they are trying to deliver, Amaro responds:

“We think fans will approach it with a lot of curiosity about the new band and sound. Because the first was a little bit of experimentation in different moods. And now we try to have a solid and consistent style of music. All the songs have shredding guitar and are very well played. There is some technical stuff but at the same time it’s very easygoing.”

“Carry On” is about the choices that sometimes you need to make and finding much-needed inspiration in your life. The lyrics are easy to identify with and are relevant to many situations in life whereas the music comes across with plenty of melody and enough of an edge to appease a variety of metal audiences.

The single was produced and mastered by Ricardo Fernandes who did mixing along with Rich Gray. The album artwork was done by Nicolas Oliveros. The melodic riffs in “Carry On” have plenty of attitudes, the vocals demand attention and the listener will be engaged throughout the four and half minute run time. It is recommended for fans of Dokken, Mr.Big, and Steelheart.

Driven by the desire to be part of the solution rather than the problem, WRITING THE FUTURE continue to raise the metal-axe for those who can’t do it by themselves. The band is offering a punch to the face in all the colors of the rainbow, a rush of feelings that will make you lose your breath.

Today they release their new single ‘A Rainy Day When The Sun Died‘: “Depression and mental illness have many faces. Music can be a comfort for many when nothing else works. This song is a signature piece and homage to one of our biggest fans who ended up wheelchair-bound after an accident at a concert. We fulfilled a big dream for her when she participated in the music video to this song with the tag ‘trapped’ written on her hand. The song was played at her funeral a few months later after she had passed away…”

New England melodic hard rockers SYGNAL TO NOISE will be hitting the road with COLD, as part of their “Year of the Spider: 20 Year Anniversary Tour” (as part of a bill that also includes performances by Divide the all, Awake for Days, and Death Valley Dreams). The dates will run from March 17-May 29 throughout the US. The band just issued their latest album, ‘Human Condition,’ last June via Dark Star Records, while the single “Let Me In” hit the top 100 Billboard Radio charts, and its video can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/P08sBei96eI

“To say we are excited for this tour is an understatement!,” says the band. “Being fans of COLD for many years. This is a huge honor for us! Our goal is to help make this tour fun for everyone that buys a ticket and attends.”

“Cold is a great band!,” adds singer Coopa. “I am personally honored to be a part of this tour. I think what STN will bring to the table is a ride of emotions. We have a little something for everyone. Mellow, fun, rocking and emotional songs. I write honestly and I think that comes through in our performances. I just want to give people a good time. Give them an escape from their lives for a few, or at least try to.”

See the tour dates below.

Comprised of members Mark Cooper (Coopa)- Vocals/Guitar, B808 – Drums, Dave Pike – Guitar, Christopher Skehan – Guitar, and Breanne Powell (Breezy) – Bass, the group’s mission is to help bring rock ‘n’ roll to modern fans and back to its former glory on mainstream radio once again. Sygnal To Noise has been greatly inspired and influenced by bands like Queen, KISS, Alice Cooper and David Bowie, for their showmanship and visuals with a blend of such bands as Stone Temple Pilots, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, and Pearl Jam for their songwriting and vocal styles.

Additionally, Sygnal to Noise was nominated for “best in Maine 2014” by the New England Music Awards, and winner of “2015 best hard rock/ metal band,” and nominated again for 2016. Winner of Chaos Zyne’s Honorable mention awards 2016 for best vocalist/Best guitarist/best hard rock band, best fan favorite, nominated for best hard rock band & best new artist for the 2017 Portland Music Awards, nominated for best International Band 2015 by TBFMOnline out of the United Kingdom, and nominated in 2019  New England Music Awards for Best in State and in 2021 for best live act of the year. 

The band has rocked such notable events as Daytona Bike Week, Laconia Bike Week,

Windham Tattoo Festival, Rise Above Fest. Rock the block Fest & The Jersey Shore Fest to name a few. With 4 CD releases to their credit, Sygnal To Noise’s music is streamed and sold worldwide and has performed regionally in the north eastern United States with Kings X, Sebastian Bach, Warrant, L.A. Guns, Lita Ford, Bret Michaels, Saving Abel, Saliva, Powerman 5000, Winger, Puddle Of Mudd, Trapt, Buckcherry, RED, Days Of The New, Avenged Sevenfold, Volbeat, Seether, Alter Bridge, Disturbed, Killswitch Engage, KYNG, Hellyeah, Trivium, Scott Stapp, FLAW,  3 Years Hollow, Soil, John5, Black Stone Cherry, Disturbed and many others. Sygnal To Noise’s music keeps spreading and they look forward to bringing their music to YOU.
