Details:
Leperâs Pen release Bending Back Into The Future, the follow-up to 2004âs rockinâ Along The Way CD. Singer/songwriter Bill The Thrill unleashes 12 new tracks that are filled with his most catchy lyrics yet. Up-tempo tracks like the opener âMoving To Vegasâ and the heavily listened to myspace.com track âNo Way Outâ, deliver the high energy and rocking guitars of past hits like âHappened To Be The Oneâ and âCasanovaâ. Haunting lyrics roam freely on cuts like âMidnight Chimesâ and âFalling Off The Roller Coasterâ. Other tunes pull at your heartstrings. The tracks âEndangered Speciesâ, âTrappedâ, and âPull Me Throughâ tell tales of hardships, love lost, and the struggles we all encounter from time to time in relationships. A surprising splash of saxophone on the closer âYears of Temptationâ gives a Springsteen-esque feel, not heard since 2002âs Kaleidoscope CD. From beginning to end this disc undoubtedly takes you on a âThrill Rideâ!!

Bill The Thrill offers these notes about the songs on this Leper's Pen release:
It's been almost a year since the recording of these tracks, more than three years since most of them were written, and I am happy to have them see the light of day. I chose this batch of songs to be put together because they all had that same feeling to them. Looking back at them now I'm sure this would be considered my "catchy hook" album or the commonly overused "sellout" tag. I wanted to take the rock guitar edge that was present on Along The Way and add a touch of rock and roll organ
to fill it out. It certainly was a memorable time at Los Estudios Rios during the last sessions from Wisconsin. Special thanks go out to Ted Bob for the use of the studio during the cold winter months. Exrta special thanks to Jill Tepler for use of her always wonderful photography talents as well as for putting up with my long hours in the studio. The next chapter of the Leper's Pen
history remains unclear but there is a building desire to dive back into the experimental aspects of the musical spectrum.
