Macula to release 'Pride and Panic' - album launch @ The Bourbon, Vancouver

Vancouver's MACULA launching 2nd album of 2009!! - This Friday!

Macula's highly anticipated second album of the year 'Pride and Panic' will be launched November 27th, 2009 at The Bourbon, 50 Cordova Street, Gastown, Vancouver.

The band's first album, Coup D'état was released in January 2009, followed by a successful tour of western Canada. It might be hard to believe that the band is already releasing a second one! Though being written and recorded in such a short time, the two albums carry very different qualities.

Recorded and mixed at Earart Studios with Clayton Creed, the 10 new tracks on this album show a great progression from the first.

As Tom explains, "Coup D'état is very crisp and intentional and Pride and Panic takes on a wilder and more uninhibited feel. The evolution from one disk to the next displays a clear desire to move forward in style and flavour."

The Vancouver based band was formed in 2006 by an eclectic group of dedicated artists. Since then, Macula has been pushing the boundaries of hard rock, funk, metal and groove. Their music is a unique, fresh blend of soft melodic grooves and pumping metal that leaves crowds wondering what just hit them.

Intense riff driven guitar (Greg), powerful yet funky bass lines (Jordan), hard hitting groove based beats (Clay), and tongue twister vocals (Tom) that stretch from pure melodic to guttural, all come together to create a sound that is sure to move you.

"Macula first entered my musical radar at the start of 2008 ... and have consistently impressed me with their tenacity, hard work and catchy rock songs. These guys pack rooms in Vancouver and I'd bet money they will be making an impact across Canada in the years to come." - Todd Hancock - Afternoons / Rock Report Host 99.3 The Fox, Vancouver BC
