Fractured Poetry is the powerhouse new album by Philadelphia Singer-songwriter Tony Mecca and his Heavy Mental Gypsys. Poetry and ruminations on lost friends and disappearing love is at the forefront of this eclectic broth that is loaded with powerful urban street rock, dark balladry, social commentary and even a dash of Progressive Rock. Of course, there are still a few laughs and fun waiting in these tales of love, passion, humility and the beautiful blue collar experience.

"The long awaited new album from Philly songster Tony Mecca has finally arrived. And just in time to attempt saving our pompous and ego driven society with a cold shot of humility and pure passion. With repeated listens, this new song cycle blossoms into a wondrous and majestic mother tree of revealing introspection, romantic intrigue and further exploration into the joy and tragedy of "The Human Drill." Via tender metaphor (Two Trees & Corridors) and hilarious tongue-in-cheek body-shots (The Farmer & I Ain't That Stupid Anymore), Heavy Mental Gypsies provides further evidence that Mecca is a master storyteller and street philosopher, who also delivers impassioned performances and unrelenting hooks at every turn and stop-light of his beautiful city landscape. Very highly recommended!" (CDBaby)

The brand new FUN album is finally here! And we just can't wait until you hear it because we know that it will absolutely "CRACK YOU UP" - Oh, we're sure you'll be swept off your feet by the beautiful atmospheric caress of Sweet Sunshine and the touching Mercy Street, but fun will dictate the majority of the proceedings. And while you're being enchanted by Witch Jenny; dancing your troubles away to The Happy Hop and celebrating the world of "Whining Idiots" in Black Cloud, you can also be thinking of the money you'll save for purchasing multiple copies of FUN for you and your loved ones. So don't wait, order your copy today! There are several ways for you to purchase the new CD!"

"The new long-playing CD (70+ minutes of music) adds 22 new chapters of "intelligent/pop" to the Tony Mecca songbook, and offers an eclectic extension of the musical forms explored on "PURPLE MONKEYS" and "PRINCES OF THE NEW DARK AGE" without disturbing the integrity of the storytelling based blueprint established on those albums. This special deluxe edition features a fully illustrated 16 page lyric booklet that is augmented by the stirring imagery of Philadelphia Art Photographer E.C. "Ted" Adams."

This fresh new edition was remixed, re-imagined and remastered by Tony Mecca in 2016. Originally released independently in March 2005, and worldwide by Morrhythm/Outstanding Records in 2005, PRINCES OF THE NEW DARK AGE wonderfully continues the tradition Mecca established on PURPLE MONKEYS of studying both the triumphs and failures of the "human drill". Whether recalling the often harsh right-of-passage details of his tough urban youth on "More of a Man" & "Burn, John Burn"; celebrating or mourning the eventual conclusions to affairs of the heart on the powerful "Say Goodbye to Judas"; rubbing your funny bone on the hilarious psycho beach thriller, "The Girl from the Sand" - or revealing the mysterious allure of his "New Green Shirt", Mecca appears to be moving ahead at full speed - very comfortably.
