Two young but highly experienced</span><span style="color: #ffffff;"> musicians from Argentina, ready to bring some fresh air and professionalism to the band. On guitar the chosen one was </span><span style="background-color: #ffff66; font-weight: bold; color: #000000;">ANTONIO TORRES</span><span style="color: #ffffff;">,</span><span style="color: #ffffff;"> a 30 years old musician with an astonishing sound and a unique taste. Founder of the instrumental rock group QUATRO TORRES, and member since</span><span style="color: #ffffff;"> 2007 of the well known band DIOS LOS CR&Iacute;A.</span><br /><span style="color: #ffffff;">On bass, the name of the new one is </span><span style="background-color: #ffff66; font-weight: bold; color: #000000;">SEBASTI&Aacute;N SARTAL</span><span style="color: #ffffff;">, with 32 years old and a lot of musical styles in his hands.

Way to go guys and I wish you much success!!<br /><br />Dazed<br /><br />February 25, 2009<br /><br />TCP Releases The Way on 10T Records<br /><br />ATLANTA, Georgia&nbsp; February 25, 2009 (10T Records)&nbsp; 10T Records is proud to<br />announce the pending release of the debut full length CD release by TCP,<br />entitled The Way on April 21, 2009, with a retail street date following on<br />May 19th.<br /><br />TCP is a project based around the collaborative spirits of Henry Tarnecky -<br />vocals [Pennsylvania, USA], Blake Tobias - keyboards, bass [New York, USA],<br />and Jack Wright - guitars, drums [Maryland, USA].&nbsp; On their debut CD they<br />are joined by a variety of special guests who help to forge the unique TCP<br />sound, blending elements of classic-era progressive rock with a healthy<br />dose of modern sensibility.&nbsp; Totaling over 70 minutes, the eleven tracks<br />that make up The Way showcase the bands dynamic blend of dark, melodic<br />vocals with extended instrumental interplay as layers of soaring guitar and<br />keyboard passages lock into a solid foundation of shifting and complex<br />rhythms.<br /><br />When the music you've put your heart and soul into is now in someone elses<br />hands, it's a huge act of trust and confidence, says founding member Blake<br />Tobias.&nbsp; Steve and Jeff of 10T have shown they deserve that trust. TCP is<br />proud to be associated with 10T and among this family of great artists.<br />We're excited about the prospects of new and creative things that Jeff and<br />Steve bring to the table; feeling this is The Way.<br /><br />We are always on the lookout for bands that embody the 10T Records<br />philosophy of adventurously reaching forward, says 10T Records president<br />Steve Carroll.&nbsp; When we first listened to TCP we instantly knew this was a<br />band that fit us like a glove, while being unlike any other artist on our<br />roster.&nbsp; We couldnt be happier to be in a position to expose the rest of<br />the world to what TCP has to offer.<br /><br />The Way by TCP is available for immediate pre-order through the 10T Records<br />website.&nbsp; All orders received between now and the official release date<br />will ship by the end of the week prior to the official release.<br />Additionally, selected tracks from The Way are available to preview in<br />their entirety through the 10T Records website:<br /><br />"The Way" by TCP on 10T Records<br /><br />After May 19th, The Way will be available through your favorite retail<br />outlet for immediate purchase.<br />
