After departing from Guardian, Paul Cawley (founder and original singer of Guardian) formed another band called 'Phantom Generation' that has just surfaced on iTunes, Amazon and Spotify.  2 full length albums and a total of 25 tracks.  There's a facebook page too (it's FantomGeneration).  If you're a fan of the First Watch CD from Guardian, you should check Phantom Generation out.  It's good stuff. Cool What do you think?

It sound good!

Was this a Christian project?  It was really hard to tell just from the clips.

I messaged the band and got this explanation from Paul and Micheal:

Paul and I originally would classify this as a "cross-over" project. It was secular in its inception but never intended to stray too far away from Paul's Guardian heritage. Maybe similar to a Switchfoot, or POD if you will. There are very definitely references to faith in the lyrics.

there are some very direct Christian references in Phantom music and some that are about life situations or circumstances that just don't sound at the moment like it's about anything "Christian" necessarily but hey that's an understood part of the creative process that Christians need to grasp about rock music

I've been checking out these 2 releases on Spotify, and I have to say I really love them.

I was always a big fan of Cawley's voice...in fact, his version of Gardian/Guardian is the only version I will listen to.

Some of the my favorite tracks from these 2 releases..

I wound up buying both albums from CDBaby. Good stuff.

Also, going on a hunch, I'm willing to bet that the OP of this thread, thejones99, is the band's guitarist, Michael Jones.

Sounds ok, a little generic.

I like it...raw, heavy classic vibe. Reminds me of a follow up to First watch. Pretty cool.

This is a bit on the generic side.  I bought both of these two years ago and forgot that I even had the MP3s of these release.  I may give them another spin this week.

Didn’t he also have a project with the drummer of Stryken and Ez Gomer Of Leviticus/Jet Circus.  The supergroup was recording an album but I don’t think the project ever got finished.

I remember them trying to sell t-shirts for that band. I don't think they even released any clips. I was like "why would I buy a t-shirt to a band that technically, doesn't exist?

They were about as ready as could be with promotions and then...nothing


Fall of Vegas‏

A band 25 years in the making... The Fall of Vegas is comprised of rockers, Joey Knight (Stryken) on Lead Vocals, Ron "Zilla" Campbell (Monsterus) on Drums, Ez Gomér (Jet Circus, Leviticus) on Bass/Vocals, Paul Cawley (Guardian) on Rhythm Guitar/Vocals, Michael Tyrrell (Doro Pesch, Mylon LeFevre) Lead Guitars, and Brent Jeffers (Stryper/Guardian) on Keyboards.

Founded by former Stryken drummer turned vocalist Joey Knight, these Christian rock veterans have come together to forge their own blend of new rock sound in following with the success of such supergroups as Velvet Revolver, Audioslave, and Chickenfoot. FOV marks the spot for a new beginning from this band of brothers united by some legendary pasts and a suddenly brighter future.

For over a year the band has been putting the pieces in place, and the sound coming forth is a sonic amalgamation that forges a number of classic rock influences, all slathered with a heavy dose of hard rock muscle. "I'm excited for what's ahead," explains the group's lead singer Joey Knight. "This band has been a total God thing in how He brought us all together - we're looking forward to sharing His message once again through the medium of rock-n-roll and having a great time together doing it!"

The formula for FOV has been brewing for sometime, as the guys lives have been intertwined through mutual friendships for years. "Joey actually came out to work with us for about a month back in the early days of Monsterus," explains drummer Ron. "Then I get a call from Van Pelt (HM Magazine Founder) saying that Joey has been trying to contact me for sometime and needed to chat. Joey spotted me on Facebook... sent a chat with his digits... and three hours later the FOV embryo was born."

Joey Knight Puente's Twitter account still lists him as "Former drummer of STRYKER/STRYKEN, now lead vocalist of The Fall of Vegas and Radio Junkies. Co-Host of Fresh Roasted Metal on YouTube"....and he is very active on Twitter
