Album Notes

When last has the composition of five young men, of various ethnic backgrounds, proved momentous? Fulblown brings together an eclectic mix of talent and energy into a powerful and memorable musical experience. Fulblown's name derives from the founder's nickname in the bodybuilding world, "FullBlown Kevin Levrone". Outside of Arnold Schwarzeneggar, Kevin is the most popular professional bodybuilder to ever grace the bodybuilding industry. Now Kevin, armed with Fulblown, have set their sights on conquering a new arena: the music industry.

Fulblown's chemistry is poised to dominate the Alternative scene just as Schwarzeneggar has done with the movie industry, leaving a lasting impression. The band consists of lead singer Kevin Levrone, lead guitarist Michaelangelo Rivera, bassist Lorn Phillips, rhythm guitarist and back up vocalist L. P. Cress, and drummer Mark Brown. In putting the band together, Kevin carefully assembled just the right mix of musicianship and energy that symbolized his vision of the ultimate sound. The mixture of their musical and lyrical contributions can be heard on Mirage, their debut CD. Fulblown knows that hard work and talent still mean something in the music world today. The band has steadily been building on those two pillars since they were first formed in 2000 and it would only be a matter of time before Fulblown's sound was accepted. The pounding single "Dasvidaniya" was first blared on 5,000 hardcore bodybuilding fans at the Beacon Theatre in New York City.

The audience was later soothed by their diversity on an Alternative ballad from Mirage called "Sally", which tells the story of a young man cut down in his prime by his wife who incorrectly believed he was cheating on her. The New York audience's reaction only confirmed what the guys had already known; the time had come to unleash their musical synergy on the world of music lovers abroad. "Once we signed a record deal with AM-FM Entertainment, we were able to strike a deal with Weider Publication to sell 100,000 copies of our first single 'Dasvidaniya', (A Russian translation meaning Gone Forever). This was mind blowing for me," states lead vocalist Kevin Levrone. "The single was distributed through the September edition of Flex Magazine in the UK, Germany and Italy.

I really didn't know how the European market would take to our music, but by the grace of GOD, the magazine sold a little over 90,000 copies in one month, almost doubling Flex's sales amount. This lead to the sale of 250,000 copies of our second single 'Burning Bridges'.
