707 views

Produced by Mark Truey Trueack and Steve Unruh. The forthcoming releases from United Progressive Fraternity, dubbed 'the most communicated albums ever made’, are an ambitious undertaking that unites the Fraternity in the recording of two CDs worth of material that will delve deeper into the environmental issues that we all face as a united world.

The albums, titled 'Planetary Overload 'Part 1: Loss' (Feb. 2019) & 'Part 2: Hope' (late 2019/early 2020), will focus on the problems we are already beginning to encounter on a troubled planet and expected to face with increasing severity in the near future, and taking immediate positive action to mitigate those effects to ensure humanity’s survival.
