Lead by electric violinist/vocalist/mandolinist Joe Deninzon, Stratospheerius unleash their fourth collection of songs. Hot on the heals of their acclaimed CD, "Live Wires", "Headspace" brings their live energy into the studio. Vocal rock anthems like "New Material, "Old Ghosts", and "Today is Tomorrow", shout alongside ripping instrumentals. From the bluegrass punk of "Gutterpunk Blues", to the psychedelic roller coaster ride of "Mental Floss", and the bigger and louder sequel to the Heavy Metal Hora "Heavy Shtettle II". The disc also features a unique cover of The Police "Driven to Tears". This CD is filled with memorable hooks alongside the death-defying instrumental jams the group has built its reputation on. Influences range from Mahavishnu, Zappa and Zeppelin, to Dave Matthews, Radiohead, Jeff Beck, and Bela Fleck.
