SUSPYRE ANNOUNCES LINE-UP FOR PROGPOWER USA

Flemington, NJ – June 30, 2009--
SUSPYRE, a progressive metal band from New Jersey, announces they have a full line-up prepared for their ProgPower USA showcase debut performance. After the departure of co-founder/guitarist Rich Skibinsky in January there was some speculation that the band would not be ready to perform on September 10th at the ProgPower USA festival showcase.

Suspyre will be joined by Sam Bhoot on bass guitar, and current band member Andrew Distabile will be performing on guitar. Suspyre also includes Clay Barton (vocals), Gabe Marshall (drums), Gregg Rossetti (guitars/saxophone), and April Sese (keyboards).

“Since my main instrument is guitar, it seemed like the natural thing to do to now play guitar for Suspyre, and find a replacement bassist. I learned bass just to join Suspyre in 2006,” says Andrew Distabile.

Suspyre will also be performing on Sunday, July 26th during the Art of Prog VIII series at the North Star Bar in Philadelphia, and Friday, August 21st at Bar East in New York City.

Suspyre released their third album, When Time Fades… on September 30, 2008 through Sensory Records. The band recently performed at ProgPower Europe festival in October 2008. They are now booking for 2010 festivals and tours.

Got any info on Sam to share with the class?

We will provide a more detailed press release on Sam once he is announced as an official member of the band. But to quench your curiosity, Sam is a long time friend of Clay's and they have played in bands together.
