RELEASE DAY!!

Hats Off Gentlemen It's Adequate's latest "Parallel Lives" is out today!

"About a year and a half ago, around the time we were developing the tracks that became this album, I found out that I have a rare, incurable, progressive, neurodegenerative retinal disease that is causing progressive visual loss and distortion. I’ve previously had other medical problems that had led to me having to give up my previous career, and I had thought I’d found a way of coping with those while still feeling able to keep creatively active.

Although I haven’t been consciously worrying about my eyes, (possibly emotionally in denial), this diagnosis coincided with me deteriorating mentally in other ways. I am aware that other people have worse problems, and am not wanting to make a fuss, but it knocked my sense of my identity and future. Whether deliberately or not, this has fed into the music on this album." – Malcolm, May 2026

ANOTHER PRE-ORDER COMING YOUR WAY!!

KARISMA RECORDS have announced the latest from Lumsk. "Einsemda" will be released on CD and Gold LP on October 30.

Norwegian folk/prog collective Lumsk returns with "Einsemda", a dark, emotional and deeply atmospheric new album based on selected poems by Tor Jonsson (1916-1951).

Following their acclaimed return after a long hiatus with Fremmede Toner, Lumsk have continued to refine their distinctive blend of progressive metal, folk rock and evocative Nordic storytelling. On Einsemda, the band moves even deeper into the emotional core of the material, shaping music that amplifies the tension, vulnerability, beauty and darkness of Jonsson’s poetry. Jonsson’s writing is known for its lyrical clarity, emotional intensity and stark contrasts between hope and despair, closeness and distance, life and death — a natural match for Lumsk’s powerful and nuanced sound.

NEW PRE-ORDER ANNOUNCEMENT!!

KARISMA RECORDS have announced the upcoming release of The Samuel Jackson Five's long-awaited "A Passage To Elsewhere" on CD and Orange LP on October 30, 2026.

Norwegian instrumental art/prog/post-rock quintet The Samuel Jackson Five return with their first full length album in nearly a decade “A Passage to Elsewhere”. It’s their most expansive and exploratory work to date, and the first release in collaboration with Norwegian label Karisma Records.

Drawing from Kosmische Musik, ‘70’s progressive rock, vintage library music, the jazz-inflected post-rock of Chicago and Toronto, imaginary folk, and experimental electronica, the result is a rich sonic tapestry. Rather than building towards predictable crescendos, "A Passage to Elsewhere" unfolds as an adventurous ever-shifting melodic journey, inviting the listener deeper in with each turn.

NEW PRE-ORDER ANNOUNCEMENT!

We know we are a bit late with this one, but here it is nonetheless.

Renowned guitarists Steve Hackett and Steven Rothery are pleased to present their long-awaited collaborative album "The Roaring Waves". Seven instrumental tracks that range from the dexterously ridiculous to the brilliantly sublime, though with one common theme: the profundity of the sea. As Rothery explains: “In winter you could hear the roaring of the of the waves during the stormy weather, Whitby was a very evocative place to live, a very poetic and powerful place to grow up. So, I suppose this record, is a way of expressing some of those memories and emotions about what the sea meant to me.”

"The Roaring Waves" has been in the making for the best part of eight years, though the initial idea of the pair making an album together was first mooted around three years before that, but their respective day jobs and touring itineraries kept them from working together for months at a time. Recording sessions at the Racket Club and their respective home studios yielded a rich seam of creativity. “It was a bit old school our approach, like the idea of mates getting together in the garage and playing and hanging out”, says Hackett of their approach to creativity.

For now, this is a standalone record, with neither guitarist even able to commit time to live dates let alone the thought of making another album together again just yet. So, for now, as the tides rise and recede, faces turn to the empty horizon waiting for one final ship to be brought into land, to finally return home.

The Roaring Waves" will be released on Friday, August 28. It will be available at The Band Wagon USA on CD, CD/Blu-Ray, and LP.
