Meet Karl Cochran |
Since beginning his career as a professional musician at the age of fourteen, Karl Cochran has played, worked, toured and collaborated with such accomplished musicians as Ace Frehley, Joe Lynn Turner, Eric Singer, Bob Daisley, Corky Lang, and John Corabi, among many others.
Karl is a long time member of one of New Jersey's top cover bands, Far Cry, who has successfully toured the region's club circuit since 1995. At the same time, Karl has developed his own original band, Voodooland, who have released their CD "Give Me Air", which is getting rave reviews from fans and critics alike. "Give Me Air" is a full-length release featuring original songs written, recorded and produced by Karl.
Karl has toured with and been an important contributor to several Joe Lynn Turner (former vocalist for Rainbow, Deep Purple, and Yngwie Malmsteen) solo records, including Joe's April 2007 solo release
Second Hand Life.
Karl also co-wrote the song "Into the Void" with Ace Frehley for the KISS "Psycho Circus" album, which went platinum worldwide in 1999.

Hear Karl Cochran - Interviews and Radio
Far Cry have been regularly playing the New Jersey club and bar
circuit since August 1995, and the Far Cry name has been around for much longer than that.
They are just about the only classic rock cover band still regularly gigging in the New Jersey area. Just
about everybody else has either hung it up, or in most cases, sold out and started playing only modern rock
that gets all the mainstream radio airplay, thereby sounding like everybody else. Far Cry plays just about
everything from The Allman Brothers to ZZ Top, from Black Sabbath to Stevie Ray Vaughan. If they know it and
you want to hear it, there's a good chance they'll play it. Just to keep things interesting, they even sprinkle
in some newer material like Alice In Chains and Stone Temple Pilots. At last count, they have a song list of
almost 100 songs. Click HERE to see the Far Cry page, and find out more about
the band.

Voodooland - "Give Me Air" |
Classic Rock - with a modern edge! |
 |
If you love rock-n-roll in the vein of Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Bad Company and Grand Funk Railroad, with ripping guitars, powerful vocals and great songs, then this is the album for you! |
"fourteen grooving hard rock tracks that exude everything that’s great about genuine rock ‘n’ roll....Cochran is able to exhibit his incredible ability (he’s possibly the most underrated guitarist I’ve come across in recent years) on a wide range of styles. With each of the vocalists (plus a couple of lead vocals from Karl himself) adding strong performances to every track, the album is absolutely flawless...If we did ratings here, this would surpass whatever upper limit we had. 110%, 6/5, 11/10 whatever you want to say. Outstanding."
