The 10th album for British hard-rock band Asking Alexandria, releasing in their 15th year as a band. A retrospective project of sorts that saw band members re-visit their previous releases and draw inspriation from their most popular and successful songs from their discography. Fans will be ecstatic to hear that InchWhere Do We Go From Here?Inch features some of the hardest, loudest new music that Asking Alexandria has released in recent memory. The campaign for this album will see three tracks released in advance to build awareness and momentum during UK, European, and USA touring. The first radio track InchPsychoInch services in June to radio stations around the world. With over 2M Spotify followers, 6 Billboard 200 charting albums (3 appearing in the top 10) and recent success at radio (InchAlone AgainInch was the band's first #1 Rock Radio single) have primed the band for another successful campaign in 2023 with InchWhere Do We Go From Here?Inch.

The monumental 'Archduke' Trio Op.97 represents Beethoven at the peak of his creativity in the genre. Sketches for all four movements of this 'symphony scored for a trio' are included in a sketchbook of 1810 containing also drafts for the Egmont music and the String Quartet in F minor Op.95. The manuscript score was written out between 3 and 26 March 1811. Three years elapsed before the work's public premiere, by Beethoven, Schuppanzigh and Linke, on 11 April 1814 as part of a charity concert in the hall of the 'Hotel zum Römischen Kaiser' in Vienna. This concert sounded the death knell of Beethoven's public career as a pianist, owing to his profound deafness. The work's critical reception was understandably mixed, but the celebrated pianist Ignaz Moscheles. Praised it's originality while expressing reservations about the 'clarity and precision' of Beethoven's pianism. Significantly, a repeat performance of the work a few weeks later was Beethoven's final public appearance as a pianist. Inspired by the sinfonie concertante for two or more soloists and orchestra, Beethoven transports the piano trio into an orchestral context with his Triple Concerto in C major Op.56. His choice of this particular solo combination was unprecedented in the literature and, in his words, 'really something new'. The piece is performed with panache on this by the Trio Shaham Erez Wallfisch.
