In the spirit of post Peter Gabriel Genesis and the Conspiracy albums Chris Squire made with Billy Sherwood, Moonbound combine rock drama and melody to great effect on the 2008 CD release of Confession And Release. Led by Italian singer-songwriter and guitarist Fabio Trentini, Moonbound also features a number of solid players including King Crimson timekeeper Pat Mastelotto, a host of guitarists, backing vocalists and more. The place where pop and prog converge, Moonbound is a rare treat for prog-rock fans who favor melody over might. www.unsung-records.com
