Ray Cappo has been releasing powerful and inspiring music in the
alternative/punk/hardcore music scene for 20 years. His life changing music
and message has given him legendary status in the underground music
community. What he's created has had a ripple effect that has literally
created movements with dedicated followers, spin-off bands, as well as
committed fanzines. He was one of the earliest proponents of clean living,
spirituality and vegetarianism in a punk music scene that was not so
spiritual and not so clean.
Because of this he created controversy and
sparked debate where ever went. He also created loyal followers and devoted
fans, who have up and changed their lives because of his heartfelt lyrics
and message. At a time when kids were reaching out for some substance in
life or looking for answers, Ray provided the healthy alternative. Now at
age 40, he's married with a family and teaching yoga, nutrition and wellness
in Los Angeles.
Living with very similar values but speaking to a completely
parallel community, Ray has indulged his old fans with a lost CD. Songs he
had written but had never recorded- until now. ETERNAL a new 11 song CD
(Goodlife Recordings) catches more great songs that were sitting in Ray's
mind but never released.
10 new songs and a remake of Quest for
Certaintity the title track of his 1991 offering. Eternal delivers more
inspiring lyrics. A glimpse into the brain of a guy that has influenced and
bulldozed a path for so many, toured the world over (& over), released
spoken words cd's, written books, created ground breaking record labels, and
represented order, progression and a positive voice in a music scene that
leans towards chaos.
With the help of Ken Olden on guitar (Better than a 1000, Damnation AD and
Battery) and Dave DiCenso the drum professor who played on other Shelter
classics as Mantra (Roadrunner 1996), Beyond Planet Earth (Roadrunner
1997), The Purpose the Passsion (Century Media 2001) the music becomes
formidable. The entire production shines with the assistance of engineer/producer Chad J. Hughes who is an award winning Sound Designer for feature film and television. His production company Resolution Media is based in Los Angeles and is currently developing up and coming artists.
Eternal is another great chapter in Ray's career.

Before the release of our debut album we are plannig to issue a single purposed for radio airplay. The first single from the album is usually the most important.
In our opinion FOOLISH GAME could be the best choice.
In this question feedback from our listeners and friends on MySpace is very crucial.
What is your opinion? Maybe different tune? And if different which one?
