HFMC – New Video From The album ‘Eternal Snapshots’, Out On June 6!

‘Wherever You May Go’ is the second video out of ‘Eternal Snapshots’. This version of the song is shortened to make it more “video friendly and more to the point maybe. The reason for that is the tempo of today, where many of us wants a “quick fix” generally speaking. If you’re looking for positivity, a nice flow and many major chords, look no further. Here’s ‘Wherever You May Go’. The video was made by Dario and Gabriel Mekler.

‘Wherever You May Go’: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41xHXgIHQY8

The idea of forming a new band started sometime in 2008, says Hasse: “I had a handful of new songs, and more were coming regularly.”
The idea started to take shape and in 2009 Hasse Fröberg & Musical Companion (in short: HFMC) started to play and prepare for what later became their debut album “FuturePast” (2010).

Hasse is well known for his contribution for more than two decades as singer/guitarist in The Flower Kings, as well as his work with the Swedish hard rock band Spellbound during the eighties. 

The band members have played together with names like Glenn Hughes, Michael Schenker, Jeff Scott Soto, Joe Lynn Turner amongst others… HFMC has a warm and unique sound of their own with influences from progressive rock, classic rock and even a hint of pop.

2024 marks the forty-year anniversary since Hasse released his first full length album. What can be better to celebrate forty years as a recording artist than to release a new one?


The new HFMC record ‘Eternal Snapshots‘ is the band’s sixth studio album. It’s a concept album that deals with questions such as how do we become who we are. Is everything predetermined? Is destiny involved in our lives? The title ‘Eternal Snapshots’ reflects over the fact that new fate of lives is being born every second and here we get to follow two of them.Online:

Captain Of The Lost Waves Announces the “Rainy Day Confessions” Series

I am excited to announce a brand-new series of monthly music releases, beginning with the track “Circles” on Thursday, May 30th. This series will feature a new song at the end of each month until December. By the end of this journey, all seven tracks will be compiled into a physical CD titled Rainy Day Confessions, which will also include at least three bonus tracks.

About “Rainy Day Confessions”

“Rainy Day Confessions” is an album deeply rooted in gratitude for the incredible support I’ve received. This primarily acoustic project was created during the late English winter evenings, reflecting a raw and stripped-back sound. It’s my heartfelt thank you to all the fans who have been the cornerstone of my journey, especially since the life-altering accident in May 2022. Your unwavering kindness and compassion have been a beacon, helping me navigate through tough times.

Release and Availability

  • Monthly Singles: Each new song will be available exclusively on my Ko-fi page (link below) for a week, offered on a “pay as you feel” basis as a token of my appreciation. Following this exclusive period, the tracks will be released on all major streaming platforms as well as Bandcamp.
  • Full Album in December: The complete album, including the seven monthly tracks and a minimum of three bonus tracks, will also be available on a “pay as you feel” basis in December.

This series is my way of giving back to my devoted fans, allowing you to partake in this new musical journey with me. Thank you for your continued support and for being an integral part of my journey as a fiercely independent artist. Your generosity truly takes some beating, and I am forever grateful.

The first release, “Circles,” will be available May 30th, 2024 exclusively on Ko-fi

The Paradox Twin have confirmed the line up for their forthcoming new album and summer dates with John Mitchell joining the band

The Paradox Twin have announced the celebration of the 6th anniversary of ‘The Importance of Mr. Bedlam’ with a special tour across Europe and the UK.
Titled ‘The Importance of Mr. Bedlam + Other Stories’, the tour will feature three dates in Europe and one in the UK, where they will perform the album in its entirety along with select tracks from their second album (”Silence from Signals’‘).

This tour is a unique opportunity for fans to delve into the creative process behind the album, as we explore the themes of extraterrestrial life and government secrecy that inspired the band’s founder, Danny Sorrell, during its creation. Through captivating visuals, the band will take audiences on a journey into the depths of his imagination and the investigative spirit that fueled his songwriting.

The band also announced that John Mitchell is joining the band. John’s impressive background with bands like Frost* and Lonely Robot brings a new dynamic to the TPT’s sound.

Additionally, the band will be offering exclusive tour merchandise, available in limited quantities, giving fans a special memento of this milestone celebration. Join us on this unforgettable journey as we explore the mysteries of ‘The Importance of Mr. Bedlam’ and beyond.

In addition to the above, the band will also be performing a special set at Wokingham Festival on August 26th Bank Holiday Monday with a slightly different line up. Guitarist Anthony William from Ex Simple Minds who was also a member of Kim Seviour’s live band will be depping for John who will be in South America with the David Cross Band.

Danny Sorrell said ‘I’m really excited for this new phase in the band’s development. Having worked with John on the production of the first two albums, it’s great that he believes in the band so much that he has decided to join us. As well as working on new music it’s wonderful to be able to revisit our debut album and more with such a talented group of musicians.’

The Paradox Twin

The Paradox Twin was formed by singer, songwriter, guitarist, keyboard player, Danny Sorrell who, following the writing of the band’s debut album ‘The Importance of Mr. Bedlam’, walked into Outhouse Studio, the well known recording studio run by producer and musician extraordinaire John Mitchell, for the recording. John was so impressed with what he heard that he suggested to Chris Hillman, John’s partner in the White Star Records label, that they should release the album. Chris was as impressed as John was and so the band were signed to the label. 

The album was very well received with the video of the first single from the album, ‘Planeta’, gaining a nomination at the prestigious Progressive Music Awards even before the album had been released.

The forthcoming new album is now being recorded and more info about it will come soon…
