Project-43 is extremely excited about the new CD and knows you're all looking forward to picking up this extremely unique CD release. Recorded in five locations and three countries around the world, by people that have never met, or even been in the same room.
While we're waiting for reviews of the new CD, here are what folks said about Project-43's debut release, "Silence the Quiet":
"Project-43 is one of those rare bands that exhibits chemistry between it's members, an amazing fact considering they produce their music from separate locations. Their sound harkens back to the raw roots of rock and continually draws your hand to the volume control to crank it up just a little bit more... Rock, how it was meant to be played and heard!"
"Stack - Overdrive Underground Internetwork"
...Much success to you all - seriously you all deserve a massive sale swarm! One of the best classic rock CD's I've heard in many a moon. I'd defo buy it if you didn't send us one already! ;-) Keep it up - you guys smoke! Buy this CD folks - you won't regret it.
"Di - Overdrive Underground Internetwork"
"This CD has songs that are very reminiscent of old-skool Iron Maiden and maybe some Queensryche, but there's a modern twist too with some excellent tunes like 'Running Scared'. Well worth recommending to anyone who likes classic heavy!!!
"Eddie - CDBaby
"'Silence The Quiet' from Project 43 is a cool debut album, showcasing a range of diverse styles all within the melodic rock barrier... and in turn it sounds quite professional and slick. ...by the albums end, you are actually left wanting more, it's easy going on the listener and covers a diverse range of styles and influences that keeps the flow interesting."

What is Project-43?
That's a pretty good question, with a pretty interesting answer. Project-43 is a relatively new collaboration between musicians over the Internet. The members are located in five separate locations around the globe. Three are in the US (Arizona, Wisconsin & New York), one in Finland and one in Scotland. It really is a true Internet Band creating true Internet Rock. As strange as it may seem, none of them have ever met face to face. Thank goodness for the marvels of modern technology!!
Project-43 is the brainchild of Charlie Wardick and Steve M. Mann who are both located in the US. In late 2005, these two combined forces after ‘meeting’ each other on Usenet in the alt.guitar newsgroup. Initially, it was just an effort to refresh their playing skills and learn a little about home recording, but they quickly realized it could be much more.
The two soon enlisted the vocal talents of Antti Heikkinen from Finland. Antti gave the project a truly special touch that made the music come together like never before. His vocal talents should have landed him a major recording career long ago, thus eliminating any chance he could be part of the team. But, for whatever reasons, the stars were aligned and he was available for the project. That was a very fortunate set of circumstances.
The ‘band’ then added Scott Wallace who is located in Scotland, to play drums and replace the canned ‘loops’ or programmed drums that had been used to this point. This also brought a whole new dimension to the music and the overall sound of Project-43. Christopher Bell-Boudreaux is the latest talent to join the P-43 adding his unique NYC guitar stylings and talent to the mix.
To date, Project-43 has created over twenty original Rock & Roll songs that have an amazing quality that would challenge even the best industry professionals to know that these people have never played in the same room together. Their new CD release, “Silence the Quietâ€, contains a collection of tunes in the hard/heavy rock genre that makes it easy to see why their slogan, "Project-43: The Future of Classic Rock", may be more truth than marketing.
