INTERVIEW
MARILLION To Release New BOXSET
'An Hour
Before It's Dark' In March
British rock band Marillion, founded in 1979, have, over the
course of 18 studio albums, become one of the most commercially successful
progressive rock bands of the 1980s and are still one of the most outstanding
representatives of their genre. As the first of their peers, Marillion have
started to embrace the potential of the internet for both their commercial
approach and to interact with their audience. In 2013, the band was even
declared "Band Of The Year" at the second annual Prog Rock Awards.
Throughout their over 40 year-long career and over 15 million
records sold they have become the most outstanding representatives of their
genre.
With their extremely successful studio album "F*** Everyone And Run (F E A R)", their second one released by earMUSIC and the band’s highest charting album across the globe since Steve Hogarth joined in 1989, Marillion have shown that they continue to stay as brilliant and vital as ever while consistently dodging categorization by crafting distinct, evocative music.
Steve Rothery is the original guitarist and the longest
continuous member of the British rock band Marillion. Outside
Marillion, Rothery has recorded two albums as part of the duo the Wishing Tree and an instrumental
solo album, The Ghosts of Pripyat, released in September 2014. He also
founded the British Guitar Academy in 2011.

MARILLION
On July 23rd,2021 Marillion released their live album “With Friends At St David’s”, recorded in Cardiff in November 2019. It all started with the release of “With Friends From The Orchestra” in 2019, when Marillion teamed up with “In Praise of Folly”, a string quartet accompanied by Sam Morris (French Horn) and Emma Halnan (Flute), to record a stunning album full of re-arranged Marillion treasures. That same year, Marillion took these very special versions on tour and even added a few more highlights like “Gaza” and “Zeperated Out” to the setlist, presenting them in a whole new light.
“With Friends At St David’s” is not only a visually and
sonically remarkable live album, but also a dedication to crossing musical
boundaries and making “friends” outside of one genre and musical universe. The
DVD and Blu-ray of this release offer even more, as they come with the
previously unreleased documentary “Making Friends“, which shows
Marillion in the studio during the making of “With Friends From The
Orchestra”.

BOOK TRAILER
BOOK REVIEW
-By Literary Titan (5) STARS
The Rock Star Chronicles, by Ray Shasho, is a splendid book written by a music enthusiast who has poured their heart and soul into it. It’s a story of a boy who loved rock music, and his obsessive passion of it earned himself the name Rock Raymond. He went to school but instead was schooled in all matters of music while his peers were buried chin-deep in coursework. He then became a radio DJ and has now compiled a book on all interviews he held with Rock gods who raided the airwaves back in the 70s and 80s. It’s a compilation of interviews with outstanding vocalists, legendary guitarists and crazy drummers in the rock music scene. Each interview gives a reader an in-depth view into their personal lives and the philosophies that guide their lives which all serve to humanize these great icons. For readers who are old enough to call themselves baby boomers this book will bring old memories back to life. Millennials, on the other hand, may think of this book as a literal work of the Carpool Karaoke show.
The Rock Star Chronicles is a book I didn’t know I was waiting for. To come across a book that will talk me into trying something new. One brave enough to incite me to venture into new frontiers. This book made me a believer- I am now a bona fide Rock and Roll music fan.
Ray Shasho masterfully gets the interviewees talking. He smartly coaxes answers from them with crafty questions designed to get a story rolling out of them. The artists talk about diverse issues ranging from music, politics, and their social engagements. Having been on the music seen all his life, Ray Shasho knows the buttons to press, how to get them comfortable about talking about their lives.
The book’s cover is befitting of its subject matter with the leather look offering a royal background to the golden letter print. It speaks to how high a level rock music holds in the pecking order- arguably, modern music as we know it has originated from blues and rock music. The second noteworthy thing is the use of high-definition pictures to reference the musician being interviewed in every sub-chapter. This ensures that the book is for both original rock and roll lovers and aspiring new ones. Together is makes for a refreshing and consistently enjoyable read.
I recommend this book to rock music enthusiasts, aspiring musicians wondering what it takes and all readers curious to learn new things by going back in time.
