SOMA TO RELEASE "VOICES" EP JULY 18th



New York based rock band, SOMA, is set to release their newest EP entitled "Voices" on July 18. The EP was produced by the band and Anthony "Rocky" Gallo in Brooklyn, NY at Virtue and Vice Studios. The EP features three original tracks: "Voices", "Jesus Freak" and "False", as well as SOMA's rendition of the Simple Minds' classic "Don't You (Forget About Me)". This EP is meant to give listeners a glimpse into what they can expect from the band's upcoming full length release.

The music on the "Voices" EP provides a glimpse into the diversified sound that the band has come to be identified by. The bands lyrics tackle a wide variety of topics ranging from hypocrisy in society to individual struggles with inner demons. The original tracks provide a glimpse into the multi-dimensional music of SOMA which covers a range of styles spanning from raw powerful energetic rock tracks like the title track "Voices", to a heavy progressive sound which is reflected in "Jesus Freak" and finally a hypnotic multi-layered ballad feel with the song "False".

Originally formed by Mike Murphy and Josh Cattell SOMA started as a hobby in early 2006. Over the next year the band began to hone and polish their sound and recorded their first EP "Leaving the Body". Their second release "Living an Experiment" was recorded from 2007-2008 and saw the band working with Grammy nominated and award winning engineer Anthony "Rocky" Gallo. Released in May of 2008 "Living an Experiment" received high critical acclaim from numerous websites, blogs and regional publications. The release of "Living an Experiment" was followed up with extensive live performances throughout the local NY Metro. In addition, the band competed in and won the third annual Club Loaded Unsigned Band Festival which was hosted by Mistress Juliya of Fuse TV and Much Music notoriety.

SOMA is currently in the studio working again with Anthony "Rocky" Gallo on their first full length release. Guitarist Josh Cattell commented on the recording process: "We are just about done tracking guitar overdubs and vocals and we're pumped to get this thing out for mixing and mastering" The album will contain ten hard hitting tracks and is tentatively scheduled for a Spring 2012 release.
