Psychedelic Rock Band Cosmic Punch To Release Debut CD “Clay Pit Road” On April 16th


Alternative Psychedelic rockers Cosmic Punch will release Clay Pit Road, their debut CD for Sunset Records on April 16. On Clay Pit Road, you can hear thick, colorful bass lines that synchronize with a heavy yet melodic guitar sound with some great harmonies creating a loud sound. Produced, engineered, mixed and mastered by Juan “Punchy” Gonzalez in the Mango, Florida area, the rest of CD (Drums, etc.) was recorded at the world famous Abbey Road Studios in London, England. Featuring Ryan Michalski on vocals, coupled with Juan Gonzalez, they make up Cosmic Punch, quintessential psychedelia rock music for the modern era. The full length nine (9) song CD entitled Clay Pit Road, is now being set for an April 16, 2013 release date with Sunset (Records).

Cosmic Punch‘s enticing fusion of genres has been called “neo-psychedelia” and the band’s abstract reach with some heavy rock influences and an natural grooves to drift towards modern day psychedelia with its accessible lyrics on every song, it is a mind-expanding sound throughout the entire CD. The duo grew up listening classic rock, surf rock, grunge rock, alternative rock and anything with psychedelic melodies! The CD has something for all music fans with its hints of grunge, much like Tripping Daisy’s sound back in that early 90s era. And then add to it some heavy guitars, incredible harmonies, with a surf rock vibe and you get what is a big sounding psych band with some unique touches in every song, that should keep the band around for many albums and for a long music career.

Overall, Cosmic Punch’s debut album is a colorful collaboration by musicians Ryan Michalski and Juan “Punch” Gonzalez. The full length CD recording of their brand new album will be I stores on April, 16th, and the first music video is “Walk Away” which can be viewed online at the web site now, and the music video is being shown on the on the label’s (Sunset Records) web pages before it can be seen at all major outlets that show music videos (MTV, Music Choice, FUSE, more).
