a plethora of big events taking shape starting in April, when the band
will enter the studio to record their new album, set to be released in
early September. The band has been locked away in their own personal studio
for the past three months, crafting an album that Nick Brooks, lead vocalist

is everything we wanted to do on the last record, with less emphasis on
screaming, and a strong focus on musicianship."[see full story for more]-

will be a significant increase in vocal variety," Labonte says in the interview.
"We're going to have more singing, but there's also going to be more of
that death-metal, Cookie Monster growl � that old Cannibal Corpse, 'Tomb
of the Mutilated' stuff." Check out the entire piece on MTV.com[Hey maybe

Times Revisited |
Fanscape reports: Damone, a Boston based punk-metal
band who scratch out non-radio friendly anthems that we'd recommend to
anyone who ever liked Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Joan Jett or more recently
Sahara Hotnights and Andrew WK. Anyone who appreciates big, fearless rock
n roll will appreciate Damone. But they're not just arena rockers singing
about rad parties and hot chicks, this band has teeth and claws and if
they must, they'll use them to eat you. Oh yeah, and their frontman? Yeah,
she's a woman but really that's neither here nor there, because she has
the strength of ten men and a voice that proves it. Their new album, Out
Here All Night, is one big rock n roll party and it will be released by
Island recording group on May 23rd. Their entire new LP, Out Here All Night
will be available at iTunes.com on Tuesday, March 21st, two months before
the official release date. Preview their title track, "Out Here All Night"

on Gay Aiken |
Faded Youth reports: n one of those priceless
made-for-TV-moments that only live TV can bring, interviewer Larry King
asked American Idol judge Simon Cowell about the gay scandal surrounding
former idol Clay Aiken.
King asks, "What about Clay Aiken and the
possible lawsuits?" With a coy grin on his face, Cowell first played dumb,
stating he didn't know much about it, an obvious dodge of a sensitive subject
"Well I heard about this. I mean what are they saying that he..." King
tried to prod him a bit further. "Came on with somebody." Cowell, grinning
like a monkey, paused like a deer caught in the headlights. Finally, he
responded with a quick dismissive reply "You hear all the rumuors, whatever.
Then you hear the lawsuits are that you pretended to be straight or something.
I mean it's just crazy, you know". [see full story for more]-

Reunion |
Sleaze Roxx reports: In a recent interview
with Sleaze Roxx, vocalist Jimmi Bleacher explained why a Salty Dog (which
recorded one album for Geffen named Every Dog Has Its Day and featured
future American Dog frontman Michael Hannon) reunion tour fell-through.
Says Jimmi, "I recently produced an Atlanta
band called Buttonhook, and through their management I was being offered
a House of Blues tour in kind of a win-win situation. I thought it would
be a good venue to play so I called Mike, Khurt, and Pete. They all agreed.
I wanted it to be of the caliber that I knew it could be, so I immediately
began trying to get the band logistically together in California. I even
began to book shows on the west coast to fund process. We consulted each
other along the way, but it was proving too difficult to get anyone on
the same page. So other things came up, and I just let it slide. If we
would have continued the reunion, we would be leaving for that tour next
week."
Jimmi also talked about his new music with
bands such as MK Ultra (a rare unreleased demo can be heard at the full
story link) and where he fits in with today's music scene.[see full story
