Mars Attacks - Circle Of Love (2006)

Wild, authentic rockabilly is what you'll get from the Swiss/Austrian formation called Mars Attacks. In February 1998, these musicians, who had been active in different rock 'n' roll and rockabilly bands for years, came together. Mars launched its attack and quickly hit all over Switzerland - from Chur to the Beckenrieder Swiss Rockabilly Meeting - as well as in Austria and Germany. Extended tours brought the rockabilly invasion to Vienna and even to Hemsby in England - for the largest rock 'n' roll weekend on earth.

Their long-awaited debut album "Run For Your Life!" (available on CD and 10" LP + 7 EP for vinyl fans) was released in July 1999 on Armadillo Records. In order to achieve a sound that suited their style, the 14 songs - half of them written by the band - were recorded on vintage equipment in a specialised Studio in Montreux. This means that the songs were recorded live in the studio using original microphones from the 50s and a 2-track machine. Just four months after its debut, the album had to be re-released in able to keep up with the high demand. Sales, record reviews, and requests from record labels came in from all over the world thanks to international marketing.
