Guitar Legend Peter Banks Passes – July 15, 1947 – March 8, 2013Best known for his innovative and unique guitar work with YES and Flash, as well as his own critically acclaimed solo albums, guitar legend Peter Banks passed away at his home in London on March 8, 2013. Banks, a founding member of the ground breaking progressive rock group YES, performed on the band's first two albums, 'Yes' and 'Time And A Word'. He would go on to form Flash and release 3 well-received albums (Flash, In The Can, Out Of Our Hands), along with several successful tours of Europe and the US, culminating in an appearance on the widely watched late night American TV show 'The Midnight Special'. With an admitted fondness for improvisation, music critics touted Banks as a cross between Pete Townshend and Wes Montgomery. Even Pete Townshend, one night after witnessing a YES performance, walked up to Banks, slapped him on the back and said, “You're great!”

A prologue to "Red Flags": Ghost & Writer release free teaser single "Never Take Fire"
Ghost & Writers second album "Red Flags" has turned into an acoustic-electronic Film Noir. Musical short stories centering around characters driven by despair are forming a sharp contrast to the bright electronic aesthetic from Frank Spinath and his Belgium counterpart Jean-Marc Lederman. Before the album is available on April 5th, through retail, there will be an impressive teaser-trailer (to stay in the cinematic language) from now on: Only until the album release, the single "Never Take fire" will be available on the website of Dependent for free. Simultaneously this single will also be available in a limited number (68 handsigned and numbered copies available only) in the Dependent Shop. Because of the high quality of this advance single, it will be available on regular download platforms digitally after April 5th.
