Portland Maine based Hour-Past has been considered by many as "The Ultimate Thinking man's band". Their unique style of rock/pop/hard rock suits all listeners of the genres. Blending an incredible talent pool of influences, the band's music brings a fresh new approach to today's modern rock offerings. "Emotionally powerful and moving" says Performance1 Magazine in a recent review. Since their conception in 2005 the band has played many high profile shows opening for several national acts and receiving steady air play in the New England area. Their 06/07 release "A Vacant Smile" has been the label's number one seller and has maintained a top retail and indie release charting since June of 2007. Although not known to most, the album is a concept album. A true story of a man's final 6 months of life. It takes you from the moment he learns of his demise to his last breath. The songs take you on an emotional journey of ups and downs, presented with meaningful lyrics and entwined in each rock masterpiece this cd offers. "A Vacant Smile" is available in stores and online everywhere. For locations, links, band members, and all show dates vist www.myspace.com/hourpast or www.myspace.com/ratpaknewengland
