    BASKING RIDGE, NJ, November 10, 2008 /New Jersey News Articles/ -- UK and German Napster has decided to feature underground artist, Carmen Sclafani, of the American rock n' roll band Wiser Time, as one of their "Featured Artists" of November. The nod coincides with the anticipated solo debut of Sclafani to UK and Germany audiences, who is visiting in support of his band's second independent full-length album, All For One, which was released in March '08.

"It was a nice surprise to hear that they are doing that for us," says Sclafani. "To me, Napster has this 'collage-underground' kind-of-vibe, but they were the ones who really kick-started the entire restructuring of the music business. I dig being a part of it, and am really grateful to them.

Over the last three years, the charismatic singer has slowly been gaining the recognition of peers and fans both at home as well as internationally as a songwriter and vocal powerhouse. His latest album, All For One, with band Wiser Time has been receiving high praise and has touched a cord with some groups with it's bold music and lyrical content.
Sclafani will be performing a string of solo dates throughout the month of November. Check www.myspace.com/wisertime for dates.

Wiser Time originated in the small town of Millington, NJ by singer/songwriter/guitarist, Carmen Sclafani in the spring of 2002. Sclafani had been a fixture in the local music scene, performing in bars and clubs during the evenings, while working as a commercial artist during the days.

Sclafani had been performing with various incarnations under the Wiser Time moniker when he came across music veteran/producer/guitarist, Anthony Krizan (Spin Doctors, Lenny Kravitz, John Waite), performing at a local club. The two had shared a similar interest in the classic Rock and Roll sounds of 60s and 70s bands like Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith, and shortly after meeting began recording songs from Sclafani's catalog and writing material that would eventually become the self-produced 5-song EP titled, Introducing Wiser Time.

The EP was received well by audiences, and local radio stations began playing it. Sclafani continued performing regularly while continuing to record, which would eventually result into Wiser Time's first full-length album, There And Back Again, in the fall of 2006.

The response by audiences was immediate, and word began spreading about the bands vintage rock and roll sound and charismatic frontman.


While in support of There And Back Again in 2007, Sclafani met drummer Steve Decker and the two instantly clicked. Decker became a permanent member of the band, and the two would spend the remainder of the year performing and writing new material, while pushing the band from local bars to ballrooms.

During this period, Sclafani also spent time exploring some of his earlier, folkier work, and was inspired to write and record a selection of stripped-down songs including a powerful ballad titled, Looking For Bob Dylan.

Sclafani, Decker and bassist, Jon Cornell, would hit the studio in the winter of 2007 and would record Wiser Time's second full-length album, All For One, in May 2008 with subsequent tour to follow, including stops in the UK and Germany.
