Digital Hunns |
PR reports: Die Hunns have put a new song
called 'Jorge' online for download from their website, .
The new song is from their upcoming album, 'Your Rot Me', which will be
released on September 26th.
Expect the unexpected from Die Hunns! Die
Hunns has evolved from a straight-up kick-face punk rock band, into a more
complex Rock n' Roll animal. Their new CD 'You Rot Me' is destined to shake
up some preconceived notions of what this band is all about. Combining
a slew of Rock n' Roll, R n' B, and punk rock influences from the '60s
to present date into highly memorable, hook-laden, well crafted songs with
alternating female and male lead vocals. Think Lou Reed's Transformer played
by The Stooges and produced by Marc Bolan and then you are beginning to
get the idea�

Highway - home to the late-great Johnny Cash, Lucinda Williams, Willie

therapy |
PR reports: On September 12, 2006, Escapi
Music-home to Body Count, Dirty Rig, Warrior Soul, Cactus, Mahavatar, Dissection
and The Carmine Appice Project-will release the debut recording of Kottak,
therupy. Fronted by singer/songwriter/guitarist Jimmy Ratchitt, who, in
another life, as James Kottak, drummed for Kingdom Come and, for the last
10 years, Germany's prime heavy metalists, Scorpions, Kottak also boasts
another Major Player in Athena. So while Jimmy pounds out the power chords
and screams his lungs out, Athena, sister to Tommy Lee, bangs away on the
drums. With bassist Rev Jones (MSG) and guitarist Dave Whiston adding to
the cacophony, Kottak is ready to rock.[see full story for more]-
