Hailing from Hampshire, a UK rock sextet VIRIDITAS were founded in 2018 by Jonathan WILLS (drums), Mike WATERS (voices), David STANTON (guitars), Thomas WILLIAMS (guitars), Mike BRIDGE (bass9, and Julie KVAERNDRUP (voices, keyboards)…
Green Mars is the second album release from the Viriditas. Like it's predecessor Green Mars is loosely based on the events of the book of the same name by author Kim Stanley Robinson.
The music portrays events and emotions drawn from the multitude of characters in the expansive and inspiring book, from the teenage runaway Nirgal on his journey of exploration and self discovery, to the scientist Sax Russel, a diminutive introvert quietly working out a way to thwart the plans of the blundering planetary government.
Green Mars is a truly gigantic album and the result of two years of hard work from the band. Full of twists and turns, new stylistic development and throwbacks to classic prog bands that have influenced the band. Within Green Mars you will find instrumental virtuosity and thought provoking lyrics in equal measure!
Doo-Wops & Hooligans is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Bruno Mars. It was released on October 4, 2010, by Atlantic Records and Elektra Records. Mars' writing and production team The Smeezingtons were credited with writing all songs and serve as the album's executive producers. The album's title refers to doo-wop music and was chosen to reflect simplicity, as well as appeal to both males and females. Two digital singles—"Liquor Store Blues" featuring Damian Marley and "Grenade"—were released to promote the album. The lead single "Just the Way You Are" was released on July 20, 2010, and topped the Billboard Hot 100 for four consecutive weeks, going on to become an international top ten hit.
