Bongo Boy Records' A&R Director and Producer Gar Francis presented back in December a brand new Gospel song to Kathryn Shipley. A few months later the label is excited to announce the official release for said song titled SHINE YOUR LOVE by Kathryn
Shipley.

St Charles (New Town) Missouri artist Kathryn Shipley and Grammy member / producer / songwriter Gar Francis worked together on a new Gospel song titles SHINE YOUR LOVE. The single features Nashville pianist Eric Barfield and was recorded at Shock City
Studios in St. Louis, MO and Martine Lounge in North Plainfield, NJ.

Kathryn is very excited about the Journey God has taken her on with Music. She loves many Genres, but she have been pulled toward Christian music over the last several years, and for many great reasons that she could write a book about.

My Children and her friends keep her humble and her nephew TJ Washington who left this world several years ago at the age of 12 is her constant motivator. This experience/opportunity that is with her right now is far from being some big star or making
tons of money. It's just someone that grew up in a small town (Louisiana, MO) that loves to write and sing music and lets just see what that in turn, will blossom into.

In November and December of 2016 Kathryn was elated to receive recognition for a Singer/ Songwriting contest out of LA called SingerUniverse. Each time she was named as a finalist in the top 5!! Dreams do come true and they are all because of her
obedience to God! He does pave the way!!

Kathryn finished recording the song SHINE YOUR LOVE at Shock City Studios in St. Louis back in December 2016. SHINE YOUR LOVE official released date is set for Friday 5.5.17 and this Gospel single will also be featured on HOMESTEAD VOLUME ONE the
Americana compilation by Various Artists on Bongo Boy Records out on May 16, 2017

An independent metal band from Auckland, New Zealand, Metaract consists of musicians from established New Zealand rock and metal bands such as Just One Fix, Static Era (top 10 NZ album), Tadpole (certified double platinum), who have toured with
international artists like Disturbed, Korn, Alter Bridge, Megadeth and Evanescence. Since all of the members come from different sections of the hard rock and metal spectrum, Metaract's sound pulls from a variety of sources of inspiration.

Metaract released their debut single, CPR (Start Again), worldwide on April 22, 2017. It was recorded and mixed by New Zealand award winning engineer, Dave Rhodes, at Depot Sound Studios and mastered by Sage Audio in the USA. "CPR (Start Again)" is
basically about the madness happening in the world. We can either passively watch and do nothing, or actively do something to fix the mistakes of the past," explains the vocalist Chris Yong. CPR (Start Again) is a constant reminder of the high number of
world events in recent years, and the vivid images of protests and worldwide violent incidents in the music video reflect the urgency of such issue.

This song combines edge crushing riffs, stomping grooves and hook-laden melodies, paying tribute to all eras of metal, while carving out their own unique path in New Zealand metal. Not wanting to sound specific to any sub-genre of metal, the members
Chris Yong (Vocals/Guitars), Sharne Scarborough(Guitars), Victor Pesch (Bass) and Clayton Gould (Drums) embrace whatever comes out during the writing process: speed/thrash, 80's raunch, hard rock, punk, metal and many more. And CPR (Start Again) is a
successful outcome of Metaract's composing process. 


From the ferociously high-energy music video, we could assume that in every live show, Metaract always leaves the audience gasping for air while still wanting more.
