Bruce Wojick and the Struggle “The Hard Way”  

Bruce says, "’The Hard Way’ is the culmination of every lesson learned on stage, in the studio, and on the road, and made by musicians who've lived it. Each song was written on the same acoustic guitar my mom bought me as a kid which might tell you everything you need to know.  So, we keep writing, plowing through, and still in the Struggle.

Welcome to the world of Red32, “the Space Age Steely Dan.” This group for fans of Prog Rock artists including Ozric Tentacles, Klaatu, David Sylvian, Camel….

“A Place to Call Home” is Red32’s new music lyric video, and created by digital wizard Blake Carpenter. 

The song was, also, picked up on both the Yacht Rock Podcast and Yacht Rockin’ Radio today.  

Tony Romero says “A Place to Call Home” is about Ice age, climate change, nuclear war, virus outbreak, at some point the earth is going to be uninhabitable for mankind. For the human race to carry on we will have to travel into outer space to find a new home. This is a song about our future adventures into the unknown.

The album’s music ranges a number of crossover prog stylings, from hard to soft with topical observations and hopes for now and the future.

RED32 is a crossover progressive pop rock band based throughout the United States. The band strives to blend the varied influences of its four members into a forward-looking musical expression.

According to the Steve Bonino (TRV, Bomber Goggles, Solo). “Tony Romero was throwing out ideas for a second Tony Romero’s Vortex (TRV) album as he, Robert, Steve and Eric were sending audio files back and forth, enhancing Tony’s ideas as they have done in the past. However, half way through the recording process it became clear that what was being created felt different from a Tony solo project. It was sounding like a band unto itself. Thus Red32 was born as an inspired creation morphing out of another inspired creation. The band is excited to share this new sound with you. An amalgam of styles: rock, pop rock, progressive rock, art rock with a touch of ambient thrown into the mix. Filled with memorable melodies, thoughtful lyrics and creative arrangements, we invite you to spin the roulette wheel and land with us on Red32.”
