These Petey USA songs continue to impress. Peter Martin, who has carved out a niche as a TikTok comedian/content creator, is also a musical artist with a distinctive point of view and a knack for gargantuan hooks. I’ve enjoyed pretty much everything I’ve heard from the guy, and now he’s got a whole new project out.

Melodic Revolution Records is thrilled to announce the signing of New York multi-instrumentalist, composer, and musician T. Virgil Parker for the release of his creative new album, sorry to bug you, with a release date to be announced soon.

Sometimes the most unexpected ideas make the most interesting music. sorry to bug you began with a simple musical observation: Parker wrote a song that sounded like a grasshopper bouncing its way through his daily routine. His wife suggested that he write more songs about insects, and from that simple suggestion, an entire musical world took shape.

The result is sorry to bug you, an unconventional and imaginative album that explores the sounds, personalities, and movements of the insect world through Parker’s musical perspective. The album culminates with the ambitious 12-minute “Butterfly Suite,” a fitting opener to a project that refuses to follow conventional musical boundaries.

Raised in a musical family, Parker began performing at a young age and was playing keyboards professionally by the time he was sixteen. Over the years, he has developed a remarkably diverse musical vocabulary encompassing avant-garde, reggae, country, Renaissance, world music, techno, and beyond.

His instrumentation is equally eclectic. While piano remains central to his musical life, Parker has explored an extraordinary range of instruments, including sitar, erhu, hulusi, harmonium, and keyboards, allowing him to move freely between musical traditions and genres.

Parker’s Renaissance duo Arethusa, formed with his son, toured extensively throughout the Northeast and played an important role in shaping his eclectic musical identity. His career has continued to evolve across music, performance, production, and publishing. Today, Parker produces a Renaissance festival, co-publishes a biweekly newspaper, and continues to perform primarily on piano while also pursuing techno-oriented projects.

With sorry to bug you, Parker once again demonstrates that creativity knows no boundaries. A whimsical concept is unique musical exploration, and an invitation to listen, and perhaps pay a little more attention to the fascinating world buzzing, crawling, and fluttering all around us.

“This work had such random origins; it felt like someone else was developing the ideas until I caught myself being less than honest to my imagination when I was working on one of the songs, and literally took it apart.”

“In the past, I did musical portraits of people; this felt like portraits of insects, the darting of a dragonfly, the stalwart determination of a caterpillar; the relentless multitasking of the spider (the only non-insect in the collection). I feel a strange empathy for the little guys in a way I never would until I painted them with sound.”

“Signing with Melodic Revolution Music is making me feel like I finally got into an amazing, arty, brilliant music family.”
Says Parker

Melodic Revolution Records is proud to welcome T. Virgil Parker to the family and looks forward to introducing sorry to bug you to listeners who appreciate music that ventures above and beyond.

Josh Rand‘s post-Stone Sour project, The L.I.F.E. Project, has released a cover of Blondie‘s “Call Me,” out now via Frontiers Music Srl alongside an official visualizer. The recording predates the band’s existence in any public sense, going all the way back to how Rand and vocalist Casandra Carson (Paralandra, Casandra’s Crossing) first connected.

Rand explained the backstory: “Back in 2020, I was searching for a female vocalist to front my new project. I was connected with Casandra Carson and asked her what song she’d like to sing for the audition.

“‘Call Me’ was her choice so I quickly put it together musically for her to sing to. She crushed it and the rest is history. We never intended to release this track, but we thought it would be cool for you to hear the song that started it all.”

Carson offered her own recollection: “‘Call Me’ has been one of those staple songs that I’ve been doing live since my first cover band when I was 17. This recording, specifically, was kind of my audition to be in The L.I.F.E. Project. Josh wanted me to pick a song to cover that would be comfortable, and we could use to test out how we would work together, and this felt like the perfect choice. Turns out, I got the job! It’s crazy that it’s coming out of the vault and going public after all these years.”

The L.I.F.E. Project grew out of a chance introduction rather than a plan. Rand had wanted to front a project with a female singer for a while, but it wasn’t until 2020, when a mutual connection put him in touch with Carson, that the concept found its shape. A trial run turned into a full creative partnership from there.

The band pairs Rand‘s riff-driven, hook-heavy songwriting with Carson‘s range as a vocalist, pulling from classic metal, thrash and prog. Lyrically, the group tends to reach past the usual rock subject matter, digging into history and social commentary rather than sticking to familiar themes.
