hell raising vocals and guitarist Brian Young's ripping guitar sounds one
night at a jam in Hollywood the foundation was formed! Good friend guitar
shredder Carlos Cavazo joined forces to complete the band and a 3 Legged
Dogg was born! [Sadly the deal is with Perris so it probably won't get

| Picket
Line Parking Lots |
PR reports: Picket Line is perhaps the only
band on the road today with its own self-sufficient traveling venue. Gaining
a name for themselves by performing their on-the-spot live shows across
the country, this band can pull over to the side of the road, drop the
side of their van into a fully powered stage, flip the switch and electrify
whatever audience is present with their own brand of progressive Indie-Rock.
Said by some to have aspects of Screamo and Hardcore in the mix, Picket
Line is definitely making a statement not only with their ingenious mode
of transportation, but with their own defined and original sound as well.
Keep an eye on parking lots, campus fields and record store-fronts near
you... you may be caught unawares, and rocked right there where you stand...

Los Angeles on September 1st. Their first single "Give Me", will be released

from America's West Coast," their music has been name-checked alongside

of everything good about the 80's driving beat, dark synths, smouldering
vocals, set against a seductive new killer sound.
