Formed
in Curitiba, Paraná - 2007. Hailing from Brazil, Auras is one of the most
exciting new acts to hit the AOR-rock scene in the past few years and with the
release of their debut album New Generation they are ready to prove the world
that acts such as Journey, The Storm, Toto and Survivor have found a credible
heir from South America! Auras was formed in the beginning of 2007 by singer
Gui Oliver and guitarist Ferpa Lacerda. Tired of playing in cover bands and
feeling they were musically mature enough, both musicians decided to write some
new music. The first song coming out of this collaboration Hungry Hearts was
sent out to several producers and musicians around the world, gathering some
very warm response. Gui and Ferpa therefore kept on writing more material until
their songs landed on Frontiers Records desk who some immediately some concrete
interest, making Auras the first band from South America to sign with the
label. New Generation is the result of years of hard work and faith in our
music, explains Gui Oliver. It sounds corny, but it's really a dream that came
true especially for a Brazilian band where this kind of music is not very popular.
We really have to thank Frontiers for their trust and support. Being a real
band, not just a studio project, Auras had their live debut supporting their
idols Jeff Scott Soto and Jimi Jamison in Curitiba, Auras hometown. Hearing the
band play, Jamison mentioned that Auras songs took him back to the eighties and
reminded him of the great bands of that period. Artists like Toto, Journey and
Survivor, tells Gui, are known worldwide and in Brazil it's not different:
their classic hits are still on the radio. Their music touched me in different
ways. It was not only the beautiful and amazing melodies, but their songs also
had great lyrics. Ferpa also grew up in a very musical family and this kind of
music was always part of his life. Definitely melodic rock and AOR in Brazil is
not for the masses but we have a faithful and loyal audience. We received lots
of emails of people saying how proud they were of us about the album. Love,
dreams, faith and hope are what Auras music is all about.
