Keyboardist\/vocalist Andrew Colyer (Robert Berry\u2019s 3.2 Band, The Tubes), drummer Darin Brannon (Downing Grey, Surface Tension), and lead vocalist Natalie Brown (Evita, Rocky Horror Picture Show) welcome new band members Shelby Logan Warne (Kyros) on bass and vocals, and Dave Bainbridge on guitars (Strawbs, IONA, Lifesigns).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Six years in the making, Circuline\u2019s new album \u201cC.O.R.E.\u201d, released on the Inner Nova Music label, will be available as an album of eight tracks available in a gatefold digipak CD, with an eight-page booklet of lyrics and liner notes. The album will be released on Friday,\u00a0September 20th, 2024.<br><br>This album explores themes in romantic relationships, surviving abuse, finding one\u2019s own personal power, and the turbulent times in which we live. Where does the album title come from? Collectively, we\u2019ve all lived through a unique time in history, and the band has had quite a few personnel changes, which are discussed in the new \u201cBehind the Scenes\u201d Album Launch video. We are Circuline. We are Original. We are Reimagined. We are Evolving. We are the \u201cC.O.R.E.\u201d.<br><br>Says Andrew, \u201cWritten and recorded between 2018 and 2023, for this album we really wanted to keep all of the writing \u201cin-house\u201d within the band. So, the majority of the material was written by myself, Darin, and Natalie. Billy Spillane had input into almost every song before he decided it was time to move on.\u00a0 Two of the songs were co-written with Matt Dorsey, who is still a good friend and colleague of ours &#8211; I\u2019m performing with his band at the International ProgStock Festival this year. Alek Darson had invaluable input during the writing and arranging stages. Shelby and Dave brought new perspectives and their own unique artistry to these songs, and we couldn\u2019t be happier with the result. The icing on the cake is to have our good friend Joe Deninzon (Kansas, Stratospheerius) as a Guest Artist for some killer electric violin parts!\u201d<br><br><strong>Watch Circuline\u2019s \u201cC.O.R.E.\u201d Album Launch Video:<\/strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_ckt6SKkIoM\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_ckt6SKkIoM<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2024 \u201cC.O.R.E.\u201d Virtual Tour begins in January 2024, and will consist of 56 events in 48 weeks, with Single releases, Lyric videos, Official videos, \u201cBehind the Scenes\u201d videos, and Livestream Q&amp;A events where the band is able to connect with their fans around the world.<br><br>Number #1 in Portugal.

We all have to find a way to coexist. From a band perspective, just keep going!\u00a0 Never give up. When there\u2019s a goal you want to accomplish for your life, only seriously consider the opinions of people who have actually accomplished what it is that you want to do.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Track Listing<br>1.)
