2\/17\/2012 – Sweden – Much to the excitement of the progressive rock community around the world, legendary Flower Kings vocalist Hasse Fr\u00f6berg and his group Musical Companion are releasing a new album. ‘Powerplay’ is the second album by Swedish progrockers Hasse Fr\u00f6berg & Musical Companion. About a year after the release of their critically highly acclaimed debut ‘Futurepast’ (Sept. 2010), the band entered the studio to cut the backing tracks for ‘Powerplay’ (April 2012). The line-up of the band is still the same, Hasse Fr\u00f6berg & Musical Companion:<\/p>\n

Hasse Fr\u00f6berg: Lead vocals, rhythm guitar
Anton Lindsj\u00f6: Lead guitar, backing vocals
Kjell Haraldsson: Keyboards, backing vocals
Thomsson: Bass, backing vocals
Ola Strandberg: Drums, backing vocals<\/p>\n

The debut CD generated gigs in countries such as Sweden, Norway, Germany, Holland and Belgium. With the release of ‘Powerplay’, the band is now confirmed for festivals (\u201cRoSfest\u201d, Gettysburg in USA and \u201cNight of the prog\u201d, Loreley in Germany) as well as gigs on both sides of the Atlantic.<\/p>\n

As sound engineer on ‘Powerplay’, the band has chosen to work with Tomas Bodin. He\u2019s a collegue with Hasse in the established and influential prog band The Flower Kings. The collaboration proved to work out just fine and even if Hasse likes to be in the studio, he prefers the live scene: \u201cPlaying live is definitely the right element for us. I really can\u2019t wait to take The Musical Companion and and the songs on ‘Powerplay’ on the road\u201d.<\/p>\n

Release date 23rd of April, 2012<\/p>\n
