Establishing himself as a rising voice in modern hard rock, Carmine is currently working on his debut album. “Bloodlines survive through the years like sand in an hourglass. A new baby is born and a grandparent moves up in the sky. Everyday life moves on and the bloodline continues,” says **Robin Ross**. “Life takes and gives the love of our heart as time passes. One day leads into the next and bloodlines find the root of humanity. Love life but do what one must do to survive throughout the bloodlines of generations.” Emerging from the New Jersey and New York music scenes in 1988, Robin Ross has grown into a central figure in the creative pulse of Milford, PA.
