After a year of creative teamwork, uMan ERA is happy to announce that CD release #4 is now available for download. We hope you will enjoy this exciting new 8 track Melodic Rock LP! Recorded and produced at SI Studios in Old Forge, PA., BIG MONEY includes all tracks performed and recorded by the bands 3 members; Joe Longo (Rhythm / Lead Guitar, Lead Vocals), Phil Bickhart (Bass and Backing Vocals), and Tom Koop, Sr. (Drums and Backing Vocals). Big Money takes listeners on a Melodic Rock, multi level journey that is sure to please, track to track! Each song explores emotions and issues we all face together in personal relationships and on a community level. Special attention and effort has gone into our soundscape track, No Man's Land, as we travel through the 100 year anniversary of Word War I. A horrible time in human history, and a war that has effects on us all to this day. On the lighter side, join us and raise a glass of your favorite brew while you listen to 'Gimme A Pint' ! Rock out and b**ch with us about economic discrepancies with our throwback title track 'Big Money'! Or, hear what the vampire has to say in Evil, I - Revelation, the first song of the series. Any way you slice it, uMan ERA BIG MONEY, has you covered for a good listen, time and time again!

Performed and recorded by uMan ERA, 2016, Special thanks to Tom Borthwick from SI Studios for his input with bagpipes) BIG MONEY - Hey, we gotta b**ch about the current state of economic affairs and the high costs of living these days! Please feel free to join us and Rock out to our title track, inspired by the original song MONEY (That's what I want) by Barrett Strong. (Melody and lyrics by Joe Longo, 2016. Performed and recorded by uMan ERA, 2016) AS A BOY - Childhood should be an innocent, worry free time as we grow up, with good memories to look back upon as we leave it behind in exchange for our responsibility as adults. (Melody and lyrics by Joe Longo, 2012. Performed and recorded by uMan ERA, 2016) COFF IT UP! - Another of our archive favs. Did you ever feel like you're on a frantic, never ending, daily treadmill to make ends meet and pay all those bills? We do and maybe some of you can relate too! (Melody and lyrics by Joe Longo, 2005. Performed and recorded by uMan ERA, 2016) EVIL, I (Remix) - The first in our Evil, I audio series. The vampire sings his own introductions and his warnings to humanity. Previously released as a single earlier in 2016 by uMan ERA, this is a re-mix and re-master of the original including bass by Phil Bickhart, enhanced vocal harmonies, and enhanced percussion effects by Joe Longo and Tom Koop Sr. (Melody and lyrics by Joe Longo, 2005. Performed and recorded by uMan ERA, 2016) ROCKIN' AT HEAVEN'S DOOR - An upbeat tune with a realistic view of our own mortality; always keep it Rockin', get up and dance, and enjoy life while you're still kickin' !
