OLIVER WAKEMAN IS SIGNED TO PROGROCK RECORDS AND RELEASES THE ALBUM “MOTHERS RUIN”
Rancho Santa Margarita, CA 19 September 2005 – Mother’s Ruin is Oliver’s latest studio project and marks a logical progression in his musical career. The album sees a change in direction from Oliver’s recent instrumental releases and draws heavily both from Oliver’s progressive roots and also the experience performing live with his band.

A collection of hard-edged yet melodic songs, the album showcases Oliver’s writing skills but also allows room for the dynamic instrumentation which has become a trademark of Oliver’s work.

With tracks such as ‘Mother’s Ruin’ tackling the emotive issue of the environment and our impact on the planet, and ‘The Agent’ depicting experiences with a fictional music industry low-life, this album covers a host of subjects all within the framework of powerful rhythms and grooves.

Oliver comments, “In Shawn and Progrock Records I have finally found a company which has the same aims and belief in the album which I have. I am extremely excited by the prospect of what we can achieve together and trust this marks the beginning of a very successful working relationship.”

He adds, “Of all the albums I have released, ‘Mother’s Ruin’ stands as the piece of work I am most proud of.”

“Oliver first came to my attention when he collaborated with Clive Nolan and I really loved his work. When I heard Mothers Ruin, I knew we had to get it, so I’m really pleased and proud to add Oliver to our roster.”, Shawn Gordon, President of ProgRock Records said.

”Mothers Ruin” is the ProgRock Records debut release from Oliver Wakeman, and can be found at http://www.progrockrecords.com/artists/view.php?id=48. This is an album with a lot of melody, musicianship and hooks and while it has broad appeal, it will certainly appeal to fans of neo-prog. The album will be released in early November 2005.
