Brief descriptions of the music I have released and where you can find it.

ATOMIC OPERA "FOR MADMEN ONLY" (20 Years Later)

FRANK HART "LIVING CREATURES PROJECT"

Modern Worship. Classic Rock.
This is an album of twelve songs inspired by working on the front line of the Great Commission. They are MANLY worship songs that will appeal to men who follow Jesus and the women who love them. Musically, this is not a jing-jangely, strum-dumily, business as usual worship album; it takes its direction from the classic pioneers of rock music.

I was the music director at CrossPoint Church for eleven years; this music is what happened when my love for rock music and singing in church collided.
Ancient truth. Modern Sound.
WORSHIP OUT LOUD.

Available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, Bandcamp and pretty much everywhere else.

Fans of classic rock and followers of Jesus will want to check this out.

FRANK HART "HUMAN LITURGY"

These are songs that didn't fit on an Atomic Opera album but were favorites of friends and family. They were also well received when I played solo shows. The songs are somewhat acoustic and personal. I started imagining these songs compiled as an autobiographical album, and Human Liturgy was born. Musically, it sounds like it could be from a lot of places. Although the music was written and recorded in Texas it feels like it could be from anywhere east of the sunrise or west of the sunset. The record is driven by acoustic guitar. A lot of the instrumentation is eclectic and fun, ranging from the exotic sounds of sitar, doumbek, and udu to the more folksy tones of hammered dulcimer, mandolin, and piano. A lot of friends make appearances on this record. Kemper Crabb played many instruments and sang harmony. Trip Wamsley adds his fretless bass be-wonderment throughout. Johnny Simmons plays various percussion and full drumset. Mandy Campbell and Maggie Raveneau of December's End add violin, viola, and cello to really make the songs soar. There is an otherworldly feel to this record somewhere between prayer and dreaming.

Available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify and pretty much everywhere else.

Fans of all beautiful music that aches will not want to miss this album.

ATOMIC OPERA "PENGUIN DUST"

The first independent Atomic Opera album and follow up to our critically acclaimed Warner Brothers/Giant Records 1994 release, "For Madmen Only." It was recorded at my house in Houston, TX. These are songs that Jonathan Marshall, Jonas Velasco and Mark Poindexter helped me work on before they left the band. Kemper Crabb makes his first Atomic appearances on this record. Jerry Gaskill (King’s X) helped work out all the grooves and played on the basic tracks (I like to think his ghost can still be heard). I also had a little help from Todd Bragg and Garett Buell of Caedmon's Call. This is an album that really wants to be turned up loud.

Available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify and pretty much everywhere else.

Fans of intelligent heavy music, grooves,melody and harmony will dig it.

ATOMIC OPERA "ALPHA & ORANGES"

When we recorded "For Madmen Only"  we had a bunch of extra songs. We had recorded several demos as well as studio tracks that didn't fit on the first album. That’s where these tracks came from. They were all produced by Sam Taylor and recorded by Steve Ames in Houston, Texas studios between 1990-1993. Some of them were recorded at night when King's X was using the studio during the day on the same gear.

Available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify and pretty much everywhere else.

Fans of For Madmen Only and early King's X will love this.

ATOMIC OPERA "GOSPEL COLA"

Atomic Opera did one album for Metal Blade Records. Gospel Cola was the collarboration of what I affectionately call Atomic Opera V 2.0: Kemper Crabb, Johnny Simmons, Ryan Birsinger, and myself. I think this is a pretty deep album, both musically and lyrically. Heavy, dark and delicious with a nice carbonated bite.

Available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify and pretty much everywhere else.

Fans of thought provoking music should give it a taste test.

FRANK HART "Fantastical Amazingly Jesus Christmas"

The Classic Rock Christmas album you've been needing in your life. A collection of my favorite Christmas songs, fine-tuned over several years as my friends and I played our annual Christmas concerts. We bend and twist well known songs into some pretty fantastical amazing arrangements. Each year I was asked the same question, “Are you guys ever gonna record this Fantastical Amazing music?”  I finally did, and I think your Christmas party is gonna rock this year.

Available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify and pretty much everywhere else.

Fans of timeless Christmas music and Classic Rock need this album.
