A lot is going on here in the land of Post-Retro pioneers Latham, most notably the release of our new CD, Sophomore. With a humorous philosophy on the often bleak state of the world today, Latham manages to maintain a positive outlook for the future while continually questioning the basic ideas of life. Two years in the making Sophomore is a collection of 11 tracks that pioneer the art of "Post-Retro Rock and Roll.” Selected from a menu of 50 the disc is an eclectic mix of rock, pop, ballads and jam that explores relationships with women, god, death, the working masses, adolescence and the city of angels, all written since founder/songwriter Mark Latham transplanted himself from Boston to Los Angeles. Sophomore is already receiving praise, evidenced by the Blind Judge “Rock Artist of the Year” honors at the 2006-07 L.A. Music Awards. Also nominated for “Best Rock Record” and receiving an Honorable Mention “Best Rock Vocalist” for singer/songwriter Mark Latham, the independently released CD is now available right here or at our website! You can also download the tracks at www.burnlounge.com/latham or at www.mpsace.com/lathamrocks. We’ll be on ITunes real soon as well as some CD retailers.

Music Awards 2004-05 Music Connection Magazine “Hot 100 Unsigned Artist” “Mark sounds like he is already a famous veteran rock star.” -- Gods of Music “…the John Mayer metts Matchbox 20 style to make the girls sway and the guys pay.” – 3:16 Productions “When Latham rocks, it’s growling, sweaty, grinding rock. He plays sultry erotic funk. He does ballads in episodes of floating, psychedelic dreams with gorgeous, ethereal harmonies. He’s got the goods to justify that swagger. …a mix of pure musical energy.” – Indie-Music.com
