Baltimore, Maryland – February 5, 2007 –Medium Underground has just announced the release of their debut album Second Sight. The self – recorded and produced, full length CD was recorded at the band’s Castle Rock Studio outside of Baltimore, Maryland.

Medium Underground’s music can be described as a dark, melodic, powerful rock, possibly calling to mind a heavier version of early Fleetwood Mac or Peter Gabriel. Driven by singer, lyricist & songwriter Jim Noland’s acoustic guitar and vocals, the music grooves and builds, revealing the rock and progressive sounds that influence the group. The emotional, thoughtful lyrics reflect the band’s interest in philosophy, ancient mysteries, and the human experience.

The album stands as a testament to the band’s creative and technical skills. “It was a challenge to work all angles of the recording process” says Noland who also engineered. “We even took on the artwork and website design ourselves.” Quite an undertaking, but well worth it as evidenced by the final product.

Medium Underground has been together for over 2 years now. The group members are all veterans of the music scene in and around the Maryland and Washington D.C. area. Currently, the band is gaining momentum by performing in local venues, increasing it’s multi-media presence, and writing new material.

The band lineup consists of:

Jim Noland – Guitar ,Vocals, Keyboards
Frank Peaker - Bass Guitars
Larry Wilson – Guitars
Rob Reid – Drums, Percussion

The CD “Second Sight” is available online through CD Baby in addition to local retail outlets. Digital downloads are available through i Tunes. The band will be performing shows in North America over the next year with a tour of select European venues being planned for 2008.
