Rancho Santa Margarita, CA – 20 May 2010 – Dec formed Darwin's Radio in 2003
with Mark Westworrth now keyboard player with IQ. The band then went on to
perform in the UK and Europe, culminating in their appearance at RosFest in
Philadelphia in 2007. The band released Eyes of the World in 2006, and following
its success released the follow up Template for a Generation. At the end of
2009, Burke announced he was moving on from Darwin's Radio to concentrate on a
solo venture.
This results in his first release 'Destroy All Monsters' a
nine track album coming in at 45mins, it's a more pop take on the prog genre.
The sound is described as a meld of Depeche Mode/ Foo Fighters. Dec intends to
tour to support the CD release and is putting together a live band. Rehearsals
begin in June, and Dec is performing in London in June supporting 'Black Bonzo'.
Dec had this to say: "I'm really excited about this release with
ProgRock Records, John Jowitt referred me over and Shawn and I came to an
agreement within hours. To me it embodies all the things I enjoy about music,
catchy melodies and a mix of upbeat and mellow themes, coupled with more
technical passages that altogether meld a blend of pop and prog influences.
Ultimately a mix of songs that compliment each other.".
"Dec came to my
attention with the debut Darwin’s Radio release, the band name caught my eye
because I had enjoyed the Greg Bear book by the same name, and the music was no
different, great material. Later seeing him work with Frost* further cemented my
positive opinion of him, so I was thrilled to work with him on his new solo
release.", said Shawn Gordon, President of ProgRock Records.
"Destroy
All Monsters" is the new worldwide ProgRock Records release from Dec Burke and
