Class Brats Return |
PR reports: This is the album all the young
droogs have been waiting for. A band truly in no need of an introduction,
Austin, TX's own Lower Class Brats are back with their first full-length
effort in over 3 years. With more than a decade of touring under their
belt, The New Seditionaries find the Brats at the top of their game. They
serve up a vicious blend of brutal punk from bands like Blitz, Major Accident
and the Adicts and the rock 'n' roll swagger of Slade, Sweet, and the Alice
Cooper Band - all with the subtlety of a Molotov cocktail thrown at a police
car. In stores September 5th- Click

PR reports: West Virginia's forward-thinking
thrashers BYZANTINE have confirmed a string of regional tour dates with
Indiana thrashers Demiricous. The band offers this update on its recent
activity, and is planning on unveiling new music while out on the road
in September:
"We've been writing the new album this
summer so we can record it this winter. But, the truth is we missed being
out on tour, so we're going to do this small run then finish writing. We're
planning on going out on a full U.S. tour or at least a tour that takes
us west. So look for that in November."[see full story for dates]-

Showcase |
CelebrityWeek reports: The man behind 'NSync,
Britney Spears and The Backstreet Boys has a more appropriate name for
this summer's biggest reality show - America's Got No Talent. "Their biggest
mistake was not calling me," producer Lou Pearlman tells us (only partially
tongue in cheek). "I would have sent them some real talent. Okay, maybe
I wouldn't have shared a whole lot, but I could have sent them enough to
upgrade their show."
Pearlman brings his own collection of fresh
new faces to the MGM Sept. 2-5 when he launches his Talent Rock showcase
featuring Jordan Knight (New Kids On The Block) Smilez and South Star (BET's
#1 artists), and boy bands US 5 and C-Note. They'll perform for more than
100 top producers, managers, agents and modeling types looking for new
talent.- Click
