The Tripwire reports: Life on the road can
take its toll on a band. Although they can drink Oasis under the table,
one member of the Arctic Monkeys has run out of steam and is not returning
to North America with his bandmates for their May/June tour. According
to NME, bassist Andy Nicholson is taking a break from this string of dates
due to exhaustion. [see full story for more]- Click

DVD Box |
Noble PR reports: Rush built its phenomenally
loyal following on its legendary live performances. Even after more than
30 years on stage, Rush live on video remains a guaranteed hit, and they
have the gongs to prove it. The DVD companion to the band's most recent
album, 2003's Rush In Rio, is five times platinum (U.S.), and more recently,
2005's R30, a DVD-only live-and-more package, is already triple platinum
(U.S.). Now the band's first three concert videos will be issued for the
first time together and on DVD. The four-disc box set Rush �Replay' will
be released on June 26th 2006 in the U.K.
Universal Music Enterprises and Anthem
Entertainment have returned to the Rush archive and digitally re-mastered
the visuals, whilst founding member, guitarist Alex Lifeson, has mixed
up brand new dts and Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround versions of the original
concert multi-tracks for the three videos which started it all, �Exit�
Stage Left', �Grace Under Pressure' and �A Show Of Hands'. [see full story

Goes Wild |
Chipster reports: Manowar Vocalist Eric Adams
and Outdoors Enthusiast Chester Moore Present Wild Life and Wild Times
on DVD, Through Magic Circle Music On June 27th 2006
Heavy metal and outdoor adventuring may
seem to be disparate entities, but in fact, they have one distinct quality
in common: They are both lifestyles. It isn't an easy task to find a "casual"
metal fan, just as it is an enviable venture to dredge up an outdoorsman
who doesn't live and breathe his craft. There is a distinct sense of passion,
devotion and intense involvement to be found within each field making each
more than a hobby, but a way of life. Now, Eric Adams � vocalist of the
inimitable heavy metal band Manowar � and Chester Moore � esteemed zoologist,
outdoorsman, and wildlife journalist � have joined forces to create a unique
and exciting look into the adventurous world of outdoor life in Wild Life
and Wild Times.[see full story for more]- Click

Ant Farm Won't Go Away |
Press Release reports: Neither a deadly tour
bus crash that nearly paralyzed its lead singer or the vagaries of the
music business can stop one of the most popular and critically acclaimed
alt-metal bands of the decade. The story of perseverance that is Alien
Ant Farm continues with the platinum-selling group's much-anticipated third
major label album, Up In The Attic (New Door/UMe), set for release on July
25, 2006.
BUSted, the band's first-ever DVD, will
also be released on the same day. While showcasing numerous concert performances
and all 10 of the band's music videos (including five never-before-released),
BUSted takes a wildly amusing, outrageously revealing behind-the-scenes
look at the group on the road with its friends.[see full story for more]-

n Women: Sierra Swan |
antiMusic reports: Today's spotlight artist
won't have you banging your head but she rocks in her uniqueness. In any
field of cookie-cutter pop princesses Sierra Swan would stand head and
shoulders above the pack because her music is definitely not like everything
you hear on the Top 40 countdown. Sierra rocks the current conventional
wisdom of the major labels who seem content to sign up pretty faces with
limited talent and forgettable music that is interchangeable. Her new CD
comes out today and Morley spoke with Sierra recently about a variety of
topics. In this excerpt she explains how she broke through major-label
clone machine mold by leaving one label that didn't get her and found a
new home and a legendary producer that allowed her to do her own thing.
antiMUSIC: Tell us about the record.
How long has this been in the works?
Sierra Swan: The real answer is
like about seven years. I was on Atlantic before Interscope and that was
a real difficult time just because they weren't necessarily understanding
where I was coming from musically. They were having me work with a bunch
of different people that you know, didn't really understand what I was
doing either. So I was recording a lot by myself and then when I met Linda,
she heard all these recordings that I did by myself and she was like, "This
is a record. You know what I mean? Your record is not with all these other
producers." And you know the ball dropped with Atlantic. Thank God Linda
was there to pick me up and got me to Interscope. And that was about four
years ago. I took, like�you know, a four year trip to get to this point.
And Linda said this is your record. "Let's record this. And I was so amazed
when I heard that.
