Death Shakeup |
The Gauntlet reports: Metal Blade Records'
The Red Death has recently had a change in their roll call. Long time bassist,
and actively touring comrade, Dominic Mastronunzio has left in a completely
amicable fashion and leaves with the best wishes of the band. His plans
are unannounced at this time. In order to fill this absence, Jack Portwood,
bassist/singer of upstate NY's Highland Drive, is being brought up to speed
and broken in, and is excited about the band and his future in it.[see

Superstars Preview |
Chavis Records reports: Atlanta, GA based
hard rock act Backseat Superstars, best known for their high energetic
alcohol fueled rock n' roll, join Chavis Records for the release of their
yet to be titled debut CD. The Superstars blend many facets of the hard
rock genre to bring you their version of how rock is meant to be; just
five guys with one common goal - to play sleazy, ballsy, no frills, white-knuckled,
Rock and Roll, in an era that is overrun with corporate induced blandness.

Return |
Special Ops reports: On the 25th anniversary
of their recording debut, the multiplatinum British eight-member reggae
supergroup UB40 are returning to their musical roots with their new album,
WHO YOU FIGHTING FOR?, to be released Jan. 24 on Rhino Records. The 13-track
album, which Mojo Magazine called a "return to form for the UK's best selling
reggae act," features tight arrangements and frontman Ali Campbell's heartfelt,
distinct vocals at the fore of a collection of originals and five covers
of classic 70's era soul and reggae. Much of the album features songs infused
with political, spiritual and romantic messages such as "Plenty More,"
"Sins Of The Fathers" and "One Woman Man." The album has already garnered
two Top 40 hits in the UK with the Indian-flavored "Reasons" and "Kiss
and Say Goodbye."[see full story for more]- Click

| Mylo
is Coming |
Cornerstone reports: Hailed in the U.K. by
NME and Q as "the saviour of dance music" and "whip-smart electronic eclecticism",
Scottish producer/artist Mylo will cross the Atlantic and make his stateside
debut with the innovative Destroy Rock Roll on Breastfed Records February
7th.
Growing up on the remote Isle of Skye,
Myles MacInnes a.k.a. Mylo, submerged himself in music. The isolation gave
him a unique perspective that energized his creative juices and gave way
to the heart-pounding Destroy Rock Roll. Previously released in the U.K.
on Breastfed Records, Mylo's own imprint, Destroy Rock Roll is a lush body
of work containing a multitude of textures. The landscape of the album
is vast, from the feel good sway of 'In My Arms' to the funky body moving
staccato of 'Drop the Pressure'. The February 7th U.S. release will feature
exclusive music and the new U.K single 'Doctor Pressure' (Mylo vs. Miami
Sound Machine) which entered the U.K. chart at #3.[see full story for more]-

� Terror In America: Live 1993 for worldwide distribution on DVD Feb 21,

In the spring of 1993, GG Allin was released
from prison once again after serving the remaining year of his sentence.
He was ready to continue his mission to destroy Rock & Roll and rebuild
it in his name. In April, he would once again join forces with The Murder
Junkies, who were anxiously waiting to stand beside him in battle. After
spending time in a NYC studio recording their final album together, GG
was ready to continue his onslaught against society and anyone else who
stood in his way. His anger had escalated, and he was spiraling completely
out of control. [see full story for more]- Click
