LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts/ Pres Pak Public Relations) - Straight out of South Florida comes the launch of Torcher. This new powerhouse quartet is lead by frontman Mack Preston, ready to expand off the success of his 2008 Powerline Records release, 'Tortured Mind.' Torcher is completed by famed Los Angeles rock journeyman, Marcel Anton, known as much for his guitar flare on stage as for his skills behind the production board of such acts as A
Dream of Reality.
Holding down the rhythm section are bassist Ben Perman and drummer Matt Joss, the same team that propelled South Florida's A Dream of Reality through the 2008 Van Warped Tour nationally. Torcher is holed away in a Florida recording studio putting the finishing touches on their debut full length release "Burning the Edge," due March 1 on iTunes and March 16 in stores through Magnum Pacific Music Entertainment. The CD is the companion piece to a scripted reality show about the band, now in development.
Multi-tattooed former undercover cop Mack Preston has been busy since the release of his first record last year, filming a guest role on the USA Network hit series, 'Burn Notice' and another on the upcoming supernatural series, 'Slay Angels,' also headed for the USA Network. In his day job as an undercover detective, Preston became a legend in his local Florida by breaking up one of Florida's most murderous drug rings.
Marcel Anton is a New Orleans singer and Creole-funk guitar wizard A sought-after performer at music festivals, clubs and private functions, Marcel also is an accomplished composer, producer and arranger. He has performed and been part of the scoring team on several movie soundtracks, and has worked with a long list of industry notables.
Bassist Ben Perman and drummer Matt Joss recorded with Emo/Screamo band A Dream of Reality's 'It's Nothing Personal.' Their 2008 debut for Powerline Records was widely celebrated by its core audience, with airplay on more than 200 college stations nationwide. The band completed three MTV style music videos ('After Dark,' 'Let Me Be the One' and 'Silly Girl') which are widely available on YouTube and throughout the Web. They toured the U.S. and Canada with the band on the 2008 Van Warped Tour.
