Society 1 Enter The Studio

2006 proved to be a very interesting year for Society 1. With television appearances on FX, Inside Edition, Dr. 90210, The Daily 10 and The Omen DVD, they barely had time to record new material or play live. Matt “The Lord” Zane had this to say: “The band was very active this past year…a little too active. With the television appearances, the release of ‘The Years Of Spiritual Dissent,’ my radio show ‘Why Do We Live?’ and the reality show I was putting together, we barely had time to really concentrate on new material. We only did two live performances and three acoustic sets at NAMM. Before we knew it, it had been a year since we have been on the road.” Realizing the need for new material Society 1 are back in the studio recording. Although at this time, it is unclear what the new tracks are for. Zane had this to say “We are going to shop these tracks and see what comes about but we are only signing a deal if it makes sense. If nothing does we will record some more and release the record ourselves.” Here are some pictures showing Society 1 hard at work interestingly enough at Platnium Sound with Paul Hilton. This was the studio that ‘Slacker Jesus’ and ‘Words As Carriers’ were recorded, which Paul Hilton was the engineer on both. Iblis and Berzerk were present but refused to be photographed.

VICE likes Soundtracks

Imagine The Graduate without “Mrs. Robinson.” Rocky III without “Eye of the Tiger.” Apocalypse Now without “The End.” The key to a good soundtrack is in its subtlety, it’s ability to match up and further the images of the film. And in its ability to kick ass and get tunes stuck in your head for days.
Over here, we’re pretty pleased with ourselves with the soundtrack we’ve put together for the VICE Guide to Travel. When I day dream of Gavin McInnes and David Cross bumbling through China, Japanther’s staccato “The Gravy” runs right along with it. When I think of Shane Smith going on the quest for the Bulgarian Dirty Bomb, 5ive’s “Soma” plays in my mind as I picture the countryside rolling by. Check out that chilling clip here: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=1401670273
If you’ve ever picked up a copy of VICE magazine, you’ve probably spent a fair amount of time looking at the back cover. American Apparel and VICE fit so nice together that we’ve joined forces to bring you the VICE Guide to Travel Soundtrack. If you haven’t picked up the DVD yet, haul ass to the American Apparel nearest you. Not only can you pick up a hoodie and ogle the ass of their notoriously fiiiine employees, when you buy the DVD those nice people will give you a CD soundtrack. For free.
One thing to note about the soundtrack though – we were probably real hung over when we made this boo boo, but we screwed up the info about the Japanther song on the soundtrack. We were still chugging water and popping advil when Japanther was kind enough to tell us how to spell “Gravy” and to enlighten us that it’s from their album Yer Living Grave on Tapes Records. Check out Japanther and the other amazing art coming from Tapes Records at http://www.japanther.com and http://www.tapesrecords.com.
You can’t buy the soundtrack in any other store, but you can preview it over at the Guide To Travel music player: http://www.viceland.com/guidetotravel/music.php
Fashion, music, dirty bombs, guns and short shorts. Who could ask for anything more.

JEN MILITIA’S BERLIN BOOT CAMP
 
Call it Commando Pop.  Call it Mad Pimp.   Call it whatever you want, but pay attention because Jen Militia is back!  Berlin Boot Camp, the band’s third album, will hit the streets early 2007 supported by a tour that takes the band from Toronto to Charlottetown.
Jen Militia is a group of illegal rock combatants.  Their explosive sound has been described as having the throw down factor of The Clash, the soul of Mary J. Blige, the raps of Ol’ Dirty Bastard and the straight funk of Rage Against the Machine.
“If you take the sexiness of hip hop and the swagger of punk rock then you pretty much know what we’re about,” says Trinidad-born frontman Mike Dainjah. 
 
Dainjah returned to his MC roots in 2004 after a stint with blues rock band Stone Prophets.   He is backed by virtuoso guitarist Jay Double, the powerhouse rhythms of Christion and Kyle Nova, Holla the entertainer and notorious beat-jacker Gord Pesst.  Their mission: to reclaim the airwaves from the Sucka MCees.
Girls, gin and revolution are Jen Militia’s forte but introspection is never far behind.  Jen Militia’s songs cover everything from love to loss to the pursuit of freedom. “Citizen” reminisces about being in love with a ‘broken girl’, on the driving lead single “Not A Test” Dainjah growls at the Sucka Mcs “come on out your graves for the mind!” and with “5GF” there is no mistake: “Got 5 girlfriends and no control but the 2 I love best are rock and roll.”

Tour Dates:
Jan. 25 – 9 pm – Coach & Horses, Windsor ON Jan. 26 – 8 pm – EP Taylor’s Durham College – Oshawa ON Jan. 27 – 9 pm – The Lazy Duck, Sarnia ON Jan. 28 – 9 pm – Norma Jeans, London ON  – London CD Release Party Feb. 1 – 9 pm – Clark Hall Pub, Kingston ON Feb. 5 – 9 pm – Zaphod Beeblebrox, Ottawa ON  – Ottawa CD Release Party Feb. 7 – 9 pm – The Paramount Lounge, Moncton NB Feb. 8 – 9 pm – The Cellar, Fredericton NB Feb. 9 – 10 pm – Nep-Tunes Bar, St. John NB Feb. 11 – 9 pm – Brennan’s, Charlottetown PEI Feb. 17 – 8 pm – The Red Rooster, Burlington ON Feb. 20 – 9 pm – The Horseshoe Tavern, Toronto ON  – Toronto CD Release Party Feb. 22 – 10 pm – Fiddler’s Green, Cambridge ON

Frontiers Records

DANTE FOX

Frontiers Records is pleased to announce the release of DANTE FOX new studio album entitled “Under The Seven Skies” on March 23rd 2007.
Recorded at MadHat Studios in Wolverhampton, UK, DANTE FOX’s long awaited third album has all the classic signature hooks running through their veins with tracks like “Hold Out Your Hands” and “Goodbye To Yesterday” being typical examples. The new material has a strong classic hard rock flavour making this album something special when compared to the band’s previous releases – more energy, more power and extreme excitement.

Guitarist Tim Manford presents the new effort saying that: “It is evident that individual performances are very impressive and the end results have produced a much more mature and confident sounding album”. “We hope the fans will warm to the new music as much as we do”, concludes Manford which points at the title track as the most relevant example of the new songwriting abilities “It was the first song written as a team by all the lineup members This happens to be an nine minute epic, with string arrangements, classic Brian May-esque harmony guitars and as usual Sue’s passionate vocal”.

The new band’s line-up includes now Mick Hales on drums (a veteran of the midlands rock scene), bass player Mike Dagnall and keyboard player / guitarist Roman Wieckowski.

The first track recorded “Breakin’ Me Down” has had heavy rotation on Steve Price’s Show on ARFM with great reaction and support. Same happened to the song “The Last Goodbye” which was exclusively aired during the Christmas holidays on the Frontiers Records myspace site.

“Under The Seven Skies” will include the following tracks:

The Last Goodbye; Firing Guns; Hold Out Your Hand; Breakin’ Me Down; Goodbye To Yesterday; Walkin’ The Line; Love Tried To Find You; Save Me; Lucky Ones; Under The Seven Skies.

DANTE FOX are looking forward to the release of the album and taking the new songs on the road. Frontiers Records will release the new album worldwide on March 23rd 2007.

NEVERLAND sign deal

Escape Music are pleased to announce the signing of Neverland, a progressive power metal band from Switzerland. These dedicated guys have found a perfect mix      of classical riffs and melodies and fused them with progressive elements. The result is a very classy album that traces elements of Dream Theater, Symphony X, Kamelot and Royal Hunt, but they have a distinct originality all of their own. The album is produced by Tommy Vertelli, known for his excellent work with Kreator and Coroner.
Neverland was formed in 1999 by Daniel Huber and Boris Stoll who first met while studying music in Zurich. From the very beginning they were trying to find the perfect mix of classical riffs and melodies as well as progressive elements. With Andreas Mislin, Roland Jost and keyboard player Manuel Wagner they soon had a team of musicians together that were sharing the same vision and were ready to push and establish the group.
The search for an equal singer for the band turned out to be very difficult, but when Mike Zotter joined the band in 2003 the group was finally ready for a first strong statement. Preparing themselves for the recording sessions of their first album, Neverland had to deal with some musical and personnel problems within the band. Mike Zotter, Manuel Wagner and the rest of the group had to part ways. What seemed to be a hard set back for the band turned out to be a blessing in many ways. Jean Marc Viller, the powervoice from Bern, joined the band just in time to record all the tracks prepared. He turned out to be the singer Neverland was always looking for. Finally keyboardist Oliver Benz, first hired as a helping hand, joined the group during the recording sessions to become the bands new keyboard player.
Everyone who’s willing to put Neverland’s music in a box can easily drop the names of groups like Symphony X, Royal Hunt, Kamelot or Dream Theater. But
those who are listening with open ears will acknowledge the potential of this group and line-up. This band wants to get its own place in their genre and their journey has only just begun….
The track-list of the album entitled “Schizophrenia” will be as follows: Schizophrenia, When Darkness Falls, Mysteria, Anger, Anguish, Take My Advice, Buy Your Dream, Neverland and Brave   Warrior
The release date is set for March 21…

UK POP PUNKERS BUCK BROTHERS INVADE CANADA

With overwhelming Canadian fan support, UK pop punkers Buck Brothers are making their 3rd trip to Toronto in 18 months.  This time for Canadian Music Week and a mini tour around Ontario and Quebec.
This power pop trio from across the pond brings with them the raucous attitude and excitement we all hope for when we go out to see a great live show.  Raised on the finest pop Britain has to offer, these three lads have joined forces to create something very special – pop music as it should be, incredibly catchy and at times addictively hummable.  One listen to the single “Girls, Skirts, Boots, Bikes” and you won’t get it out of your head. 
Packed with 12 songs and clocking in at just less than 35 minutes, the bands debut Me is rife with 3-minute pop gems.  Every song on Me is equally catchy, so much so that MTV’s wildly popular realities show My Super Sweet 16 series has licensed the entire debut for the soundtrack.  The show’s music supervisor at MTV USA feels that the group’s sound will compliment this infamous coming of age show in a sweet and super manner.
The Buck Brothers are not brothers, but friends’ bassist/lead singer Andy Duke, guitarist Pete Sellers and new drummer Horatio Agar, whose music is making a major contribution to the exploding British post-punk scene.  The Bucks also boast an impressive list of fans, including none other than Daniel ‘Harry Potter’ Radcliffe, who was quoted on his official website as saying: “Buck Brothers are my new favourite.”
With national Canadian distribution for their debut album Me on Fading Ways Music Artist Collective set for February 27th and a national publicity and campus radio campaign, the Buck Brothers are ready to make their mark on Canada.

“We’re extremely appreciative of our Canadian fans and, thanks to them ‘getting us’ first – they make-up some of our band’s longest standing followers too,” says Duke. “Rather than feeling like three fish out of water when we cross the pond, our Canadian fans feel like a ‘home crowd’ when we play there. When in Canada – Buck Brothers become a Canadian band, albeit one with silly accents.”

March 10 – 9:15pm Kathedral, Toronto, ON – Canadian Music Week Showcase

March 13 – The Underground, Hamilton, ON

March 19 – Crescent Street Pub, Montreal, QC

March 21 – Mile End Cultural Centre, Montreal, QC

“Singer Andy Duke has the sort of cocky baritone voice that makes you think of that guy who slept with your girlfriend while you were away for the weekend.  An undeniable cool appeal.” – NME, UK

Other Interesting Buck Brothers Facts:

*First EP The World According To Buck was play listed on more than 450 college and indie radio stations in the US.

*Nylon Magazine (nylonmag.com) included a Buck Brothers feature layout in July’s issue. Nylon is a glossy monthly that covers the best in edgy culture and music.

*The Buck Brothers were twice nominated at Toronto Independent Music Awards for “Best International Artist” and also earned the same nominations at the 2006 Orange County and Southern California Music Awards.

*In 2006, all three Bucks were deported from the USA at Detroit International Airport on the eve of their first 6 week tour of the states. The mug shots nearly made it onto the cover of the band’s debut album. Efforts are currently under way to enable the band to return the states and tour there in summer ’07.

*The band’s full length album, Me, will released 26 February 2007 in the USA (Coach House Records), UK (Cargo Records/Fading Ways) and Canada (Scratch Records/Fading Ways) with other territories to follow.

Erik Norlander, Lana Lane Channel Now on YouTube.com

Videos Featuring Symphonic Rock’s First Couple Now Available on the Popular Site

Videos featuring Think Tank Media symphonic/prog rock couple Erik Norlander and Lana Lane are now featured on the infamous video site YouTube.com at http://www.youtube.com/user/ThinkTankMediaMusic. The popular musicians have compiled full-length videos from the many projects they created over almost 15 years and have posted 13 videos at the Think Tank Music YouTube channel for their fans’ viewing pleasure. Norlander also plans to post videos on a channel for his highly successful project Rocket Scientists in the near future.

“YouTube is an undeniable phenomenon that is changing the way information is transmitted around the world,” Norlander affirms. “Through our MySpace pages, we have met a lot of new friends and reconnected with many older ones. We hope that by sharing some videos of Lana Lane, Erik Norlander and Rocket Scientists from the vaults of the Think Tank Media archives that we will introduce our music to some new fans and also provide some great online content for the old ones. Music is about communication, and I really believe YouTube will be a great channel for the Think Tank Media music … pardon the pun!”

Recent releases by Lane and Norlander “Gemini” and “Hommage Symphonique” are receiving very favorable reviews at a variety of web sites including Progressive World, YtseJam, and Sea of Tranquility; radio airplay around the world; and top charting positions on the New Music Weekly College Radio chart.

Lana Lane’s “Gemini” is an album of classic rock covers from the 60s and 70s featuring the backing musicians Vinny Appice (d), Tony Franklin (b), George Lynch (g), Mark McCrite (g, v) and Erik Norlander (k) along with Kelly Keeling providing additional duet and harmony vocals. Gemini is the astrological symbol for twins, and since this is Lana’s second album of all covers, the album carries the theme of “two” throughout. Lana recorded two songs by each classic rock artist for this release: a pair of songs each originally recorded by Cream, Pink Floyd, The Moody Blues, Heart, Jefferson Airplane and Foreigner. Of particular note is Lana’s “Pink Moon Suite” that combines the song “Johnny Moon” — originally recorded by Heart — with songs from most of “Side One” of Pink Floyd’s landmark “Dark Side of the Moon” album.
    
Erik Norlander’s “Hommage Symphonique” is an album of progressive rock covers recorded by Erik along with Gregg Bissonette (d), Don Schiff (b), Mark McCrite (g) with Kelly Keeling handling all of the vocal duties. Erik employed a small ensemble of acoustic instruments featuring Jon Pappenbrook (trumpets, flugelhorn), Eric Jorgensen (trombones), Mike Alvarez (cello) and David Schiff (woodwinds). David is the brother of Don Schiff, and in addition to Don’s NS/Stick work on the album, he also fills out the acoustic string ensemble with the new Bowed Guitar instrument. Erik’s choice of covers reflects his own broad musical taste, performing songs originally recorded by ELP, ELO, Yes, Rick Wakeman, King Crimson, Procol Harum and Jethro Tull and Chuck Mangione. The last artist may sound the most surprising, but Erik’s stirring rendition of Mangione’s “Children of Sanchez” brings this jazz – fusion classic more into Erik’s world of symphonic progressive rock supported by his seasoned and highly versatile band.

Lana Lane – Gemini and Erik Norlander – Hommage Symphonique albums follow the already acclaimed 2CD release, Revolution Road, from Erik’s band Rocket Scientists. The Rocket Scientists musicians appear throughout these two new titles continuing the collaboration and bringing it to new heights. Like Rocket Scientists – Revolution Road, these two new CDs are distributed in North America and Europe by ProgRock Records which continues another successful collaboration with Erik and Lana’s Think Tank Media label.

MULLETS FOR EVERYONE!

MULLETS ROCK! TOO!: MULLETS IN LOVE GATHERS 18 THEME TRACKS – A ROMANCE MADE IN SHAG HEAVEN

Stellar A-list of Mulleteers past & present:

Ted Nugent, Ace Frehley, Boston, Foghat, Eddie Money, Jefferson Starship, Aldo Nova, Blue Öyster Cult, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, J. Geils Band, Nazareth, Cheap Trick, REO Speedwagon, Night Ranger, Bonnie Tyler, Cinderella, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Kansas

Follow-up to 2003′s best-selling double-CD MULLETS ROCK! – inspired by 2001′s Mullet-centric movie soundtrack album to Joe Dirt (Columbia/Legacy)

Nothing fishy about this new collection, arriving in stores March 6th on Legacy Recordings.

Rising majestically, like a great feathery blow-dried phoenix from the ashes of double-wides and El Caminos coast-to-coast, is the most important rock movement of the 21st century. So cast off your seat belts, grab a 40 and some beef jerky from the WaWa store, dust off those Blue Öyster Cult and Ted Nugent 8-track cartridges, and let the cruisin’ begin. The love song of the Mullet is in the air, with the Ides Of March and the first blush of springtime right around the corner.

The lesson of MULLETS ROCK! TOO!: MULLETS IN LOVE reads loud and clear: Mullets are human, too.

If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you plays us Boston and Cheap Trick, do we not rock? This specially assembled 18-song bouquet – the closest that any raving mullethead will come to true romance this year – will arrive in record stores, convenience marts, participating car washes and lube centers March 6th on Legacy Recordings, a division of SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT.

MULLETS ROCK! TOO!, of course, is the long-awaited follow-up to 2003′s 35-song, two-CD set Mullets Rock – a monster of a collection – if the inclusion of Edgar Winter Group’s “Frankenstein” and Blue Öyster Cult’s “Godzilla” were any indication. Mullets Rock took its cue from the enormous popularity of the Joe Dirt motion picture soundtrack album on Columbia/Legacy, a CD of ape drape faves that had the distinction of selling more copies than the number of those who attended the movie! The new album takes careful aim with cupid’s dipstick, with a soul-satisfying sure-fire program of steamy pleasures, from Ace Frehley’s 1989 remake of the Move’s “Do Ya” to Nazareth’s 1975 homage to the Everly Brothers’ “Love Hurts.”.

MULLETS ROCK! TOO! also proves that Mullet Nation is more than just a haircut behind a steering wheel, more than just the business in the front-party in the back epithet that it suffers in stony silence. Call us achy-breaky, beaver paddle, or Kentucky waterfall – when it comes to matters of the heart, every Mullet knows that the Nuge’s “Wang Dang Sweet Poontang” is just another way to say I-love-you.

Like its predecessor, the new album gives max overhead-room to the cream cheese of American rockers, with Top 10 classics by Kansas (“Dust In The Wind”), REO Speedwagon (“Take It On The Run”), the J. Geils Band (“Love Stinks”), Night Ranger (“Sister Christian”), and many others. At the same time, MULLETS ROCK! TOO! tips its Tennessee tophat to the UK’s Top of the Pops – Bonnie Tyler’s #1 hit “Total Eclipse Of The Heart,” and Foghat’s sensitive reading of Chicago bluesman Willie Dixon’s “I Just Want To Make Love To You” (produced by Dave Edmunds).

MULLETS! ROCK TOO! once again proudly hails every metropolis on the great North American rock tour – from San Francisco’s Jefferson Starship (“Jane”) to Staten Island’s Eddie Money (“Baby Hold On”), from Montreal’s Aldo Nova (“Fantasy”) to Philadelphia coif-kings Cinderella (“Don’t Know What You Got (Till It’s Gone)”), from Florida’s own Lynyrd Skynyrd (“Tuesday’s Gone”) to Long Island, New York’s beloved Blue Öyster Cult (“Burnin’ For You” – the only track on the new album that was also featured on the Joe Dirt CD).

“Love, love, love” sang those primitive mop-tops from Liverpool – long before soccer rockers on both sides of the pond would put Mulletude centerstage, and Joat Jett & The Blackhearts would sing “I Hate Myself For Loving You.”

Let your freak flag fly, wear it loud and proud, Mullets of the world unite!

MULLETS ROCK! TOO!: MULLETS IN LOVE
