United Progressive Fraternity sign to
InsideOutMusic for debut album
European tour starts September |
InsideOutMusic are very pleased to announce the
signing of United
Progressive Fraternity for the release of their debut album 'Fall In Love With The World'
this November. Formed from the ashes of respected Australian progressive
rockers Unitopia, the band sees Matt Williams, Dave Hopgood, Tim Irrgang
& Mark 'Truey' Trueack joined by Guy Manning (Manning, The The Tangent),
Daniel Mash (Maschine, The Tangent), & Marek Arnold. The forthcoming
album also features guest appearances from Jon Anderson of Yes, as well as
Steve Hackett of Genesis.
The band had this to say about the signing &
tour:
'We are absolutely thrilled to be signed to such a
prestigious label as InsideOut and look forward to a long & fruitful
partnership in the future. We are very proud of what we have achieved with
the making of this, the debut album from UPF. Everyone has worked
incredibly hard to bring it together, and while the road we travelled to get
here was a real challenge, the journey has been worth every step.
We have strived to create a richer, bolder, grittier sound trying to evolve a
little more, and we truly believe we have succeeded in this. But none of it
would have been possible without the commitment, passion and belief in the
vision of the Fraternity, of every member of the band and the newly formed
UPF family so now....we really are, all parts of the whole!!
We are very excited to be taking UPF to the road
with our Promotional UK/European tour in Autumn, kicking off at the 2014
Summers End X Festival where we have the prime Saturday night spot on 27th
September. We will be playing tracks from the new album and Unitopia fans
will not be disappointed as we will be playing selected favourites from the
Unitopia back catalogue. We are very much looking forward to all playing live
together for the very first time! We intend to give our audience a musical
journey they will not forget and hope that they too, will not just fall in
love with our music but fall in love with the world!'
The band will embark on their first live dates later
