"Touched With Fire" is the latest album from critically acclaimed british band COMEG. COMEG consists of vocalist, song writer and producer Coemgen Savage, Bassist Casey Rybak who also played on COMEG's first 2 albms Spine and Perfect summer, and Ash Lawrence on drums who was also in the band 5 years ago when Alcohol Fuelled was released. The band originate from Liverpool, Birmingham and Exeter respectively.
It has been four years since the band's last release "One Day" due to vocalist Coemgen Savage's diagnosis of and battle with Bi Polar,(formerly known as "manic depression") a serious mood disorder which has afflicted many people in the public eye, including such celebrities as Kurt Cobain, Axel Rose and of course Stephen Fry. Difficulties controlling his mood swings and adjusting to medication prevented him from being able to function, let alone write.
Now thankfully relatively stable, and once again able to access his creativity, Coemgen has put together what he considers to be his "Best work ever" in the form of a polished 9 track album which Coemgen says was inspired by his struggle to live with his condition. The striking album cover will be very familiar to anyone who has knowledge or experience of mental illness and the album's title is also a name of a well known book written about the subject.

Great voice (reviewing both tracks) and something of an individual sound - in approach if not sound, reminds me of the cut back sound Joe Walsh used to do. Good stuff. ftlpope

<p>COMEG are an original Rock band from Devon UK.<br /><br />COMEG consists of <br /><br />Coemgen Savage - Vocals<br />Roger Pearson - Guitar<br />Spencer Jones - Bass<br />David Cartwright - Drums<br /><br /><br />COMEG's recording career began in 2002 in a basement in Devon on a basic home studio.<br />Their first self produced album was released in 2003 and they have since recorded 6 more albums.All albums are freely available to download from the band's website <br /><br /><br />COMEG has also written several tunes for independent movies.<br /><br />The band are also played on both local and international radio stations and featured on Podcasts all over the world.<br /><br /><br />The band have had a 4 year break from recording and playing live due to frontman, songwriter and producer Coemgen Savage's diagnosis and struggle with the mood disorder Bipolar.However with the release of the new album "Touched With Fire"and a brand new line up the band are raring to get out there and play live again.<br /><br /><br />Like all other COMEG albums, this is also free to download from the official website.<br /><br /><br /><br />http://www.comegband.com <br /><br /><br />Reviews<br /><br />"If Comeg could put on a live show to match the quality of his album I believe he could conquer the world." ~ Unsigned Reviewer<br /><br /><br />"Comeg's songs (One Day) are hook-laden, riff-loaded, emotionally charged works that tend to get right under your skin and haunt you for ages after." ~ Toxic Pete - Toxicpete.co.uk<br /><br /><br />"This release (Savage) just shimmers beautifully in all its pop glory."~ MISH MASH Indie Music Reviews<br /><br /><br />"This is the new revolution in it's truest form." ~ Label Owner - This-Sound<br /><br /><br />"Beautifully crafted, thoughtful and infectiously hook-laden, 'Perfect Summer' is the kind of record that's no doubt selling by the skip-load" ~ Overplay.co.uk<br /><br /><br />Comeg have some serious talent. Weighty, bombastic anthems pour out of them like tap water. ~ Backbone - 247 Magazine<br /><br />In fact, to listen to ‘Touched With Fire’, you would never suspect that it had been produced by an independent musician who began recording eight years ago in his Devonshire basement. Clearly the School of Home Studio paid off as each beat of the drum, strum of the guitar and thud of the bass is so crisp, George Martin himself could have produced it - <br /><br />http://www.live-music-scene.co.uk/cd-reviews-content.asp?id=244</p>
