Morpheus Rising are five musicians from York, UK who met in early 2008 to discuss the first steps of what is quickly becoming a powerhouse of rock... The brainchild of guitarist Pete Harwood who spent years working on the project, MORPHEUS RISING spent most of 2008 writing and rehearsing material before playing towards the end of the year. They released their first single, An Ordinary Man, in aid of the charity HELP for HEROES in October 2008.

Sam and Jack Craft, the founding members and core of the band Glasgow, are no strangers to the local spotlight, despite their young age. Classically trained string players (violin and cello), they were longtime members of the backing band of Theresa Andersson, are current members of and tour nationally with the Susan Cowsill Band, are featured prominently on countless recordings, including those of such luminaries as Eddie Bo, Better Than Ezra, Edwin McCain, Dash Rip Rock and others, and have appeared on stage with Irma Thomas, Cowboy Mouth, and more.

Grim Reaper is a British heavy metal band from the NWOBHM style and era. The band was formed in 1979 in Droitwich, England, by Nick Bowcott. They were signed to Darryl Johnston's Ebony Records and their debut was "See You in Hell". The album, with cover design by Garry Sharpe-Young, was released in 1984 and was distributed worldwide through RCA Records. Grim Reaper soon became readily identifiable with Bowcott's skillful guitar work and singer Steve Grimmett's not-always-quite-on-key banshee screams.
