“Wasted”, a track from Quiet Riot’s upcoming new album, Road Rage, is available for streaming below.
Led by drummer Frankie Banali, who is joined by veteran bassist Chuck Wright (who has been in and out of the band since 1982), guitarist Alex Grossi (who has been in the band since 2004), and new vocalist James Durbin, the band continues to be an unstoppable force in the rock 'n roll world. Road Rage is set for release on August 4th. Road Rage was originally scheduled for release in the spring of 2017, but with the injection of newfound energy for the band with the addition of American Idol alumni James Durbin in the vocalist slot, the band decided to scrap the original sessions and record a new version of the album with the new and improved lineup. The results are everything Quiet Riot fans could have hoped for. Musically, Road Rage offers exactly what you would expect from Quiet Riot. Arena ready hard rock with strong hooks and infectious riffs, along with maturity in the songwriting that only a band with such a history and pedigree can offer.
Road Rage tracklisting:
“Can't Get Enough” “Getaway” “Roll This Joint” “Freak Flag” “Wasted” “Still Wild” “Make A Way” “Renegades” “The Road” “Shame” “Knock Em Down” “Wasted”:

In Trance (Demo) ▪ CD/LP Only ** CD/Digital Only Kik Tracee vocalist singer Stephen Shareaux said of the release, “After all these years. Why a Kik Tracee release now? The timing just felt right. We’ve been sitting on these songs for what, 25 years now? Kinda pulled them out recently, and listened to the stuff, and thought.. You know.. Let’s package this stuff and put it out there for the diehard fans to relive the glory days, if you will. Or just get their Kik Tracee on, man.” “As for how it all came about, myself I have been working with Drew Fortier on Zen from Mars, or ZFM, and we had been working with Thom Hazaert from EMP.. THC and EMP had been involved in the ZFM release, and in doing that, Thom said, “hey man.. do you guys have any Kik Tracee stuff? Leftover B-Sides, demos, curiosities..” And I was like well yeah, we have tons of stuff.. Demos, B-Sides. Live shows. Etc.. And he was like, “Dude, let’s put it out.” And that’s pretty much how this whole thing came about. So thank Thom Hazaert. Or blame him. Whatever.” KIK TRACEE formed in LA in 1988 by guitarists Greg Hex and Michael Marquis, bassist Rob Grad, and drummer Scott Donnell (who was later replaced by Johnny Douglas) eventually recruiting Minnesota transplant Stephen Shareaux to be the band’s vocalist. The band signed to RCA/BMG and recorded their Dana Strum (Slaughter) produced debut NO RULES, that quickly became a fan favorite, with the band being prominently featured in the Rock Press, and finding some success with their singles “Don’t Need Rules” and “You’re So Strange” which landed just outside of the Billboard Top 40 (and NO RULES landing at #46 on Rolling Stone’s “Best Hair Metal Albums of All Time”). The band veered left for their follow up, 1992’s FIELD TRIP EP, produced by “Godfather of Desert Rock” Masters of Reality’s Chris Goss, who would go on to produce influential records for KYUSS and QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE. Field Trip showed the band moving in a direction away from the LA Hard Rock of its predecessor, and into the more eclectic alternative direction the band had originally intended for NO RULES. After recording their second full length, the unreleased CENTER OF A TENSION, with producer Garth “GGGGarth” Richardson (Rage Against the Machine, Mudvayne) Kik Tracee disbanded in 1993, with Shareaux becoming a contender for not only the vacant vocal spot in Motley Crue, eventually filled by John Corabi, but a frontrunner for the vocalist position in VELVET REVOLVER, as documented in the documentary “The Rise of Velvet Revolver”. Sheareaux released his first solo LP GOLDEN independently in 2013, and is in the final stages of recording the debut LP from Zen From Mars.
July 7, 2017 – Guitarist/singer/songwriter FREDDIE NELSON has just released his self-produced debut solo album,SHAKE THE CAGE, a collection of eleven hook driven rock songs displaying NELSON’s impressive four octave vocal range and notoriously ferocious guitar playing. Intertwining elements of punk, pop, and blues, he has the uncanny ability to weave memorable melodies alongside intelligent lyrics to create a body of work that appeals to the masses. Also released today is a lyric video for the album’s latest single, “Light,” which can be seen on his official YouTube page.
SHAKE THE CAGE can now be purchased on iTunes, Amazon, and all other digital retail outlets. A limited number of CDs are available exclusively on FreddieNelson.com. As CraveOnline.com raved: “The album is full of super catchy guitar riffs and fantastic melodies equipped for mainstream rock, but they also still have enough edge and creativity to appeal to rock n’ roll purists. The first single on the record is ‘Hey Doll,’ a contemporary Queen-like track that really showcases NELSON’s songwriting creativity and guitar chops...SHAKE THE CAGE is creative and new yet a blast from the past; it’s top-notch rock n’ roll guitar with a dash of pop, a sprinkle of punk and a dollop of blues; there’s no strict formula to the songs; and there’s more hooks than a world class bass fishing tournament...It’s simply a must listen to any fans of not just Queen, but Muse, My Chemical Romance, The Killers or The Beatles.” FREDDIE NELSON first came to international attention in 2010 when he collaborated with guitar virtuoso Paul Gilbert (Mr. Big) on their album, UNITED STATES. Together they wrote, performed, and produced the recording that was released on Mascot Records and toured Japan and Europe shortly after. “The record is called SHAKE THE CAGE, because I feel that a lot of music has become one dimensional with tools such as pitch correction and formulated songwriting. There is no substitute for hard work and honing your craft, and it’s time to challenge mediocrity,” NELSON says. With unprecedented attention to detail, SHAKE THE CAGE is truly a solo effort. All of the writing and producing was done by Nelson as well as all of the musical and vocal performances, with the exception of drums performed by the legendary Thomas Lang (who has played with Peter Gabriel, Kelly Clarkson, John Wetton and countless others). It was mixed by Rob Hill of X Music Studios in Los Angeles, CA and was mastered by Maz Murad at Metropolis in London, England. www.freddienelson.com www.facebook.com/freddienelsonofficial www.twitter.com/imfreddienelson www.instagram.com/freddienelsonofficial https://open.spotify.com/artist/6StoGBtfxI9DjqUncrvjZQ
The Dead Daisies announce the release of an American classic, “We’re An American Band”, in celebration of Independence Day and all it stands for. Watch the video for the song below.
Says singer John Corabi: “We first did "American Band" by Grand Funk Railroad for our troops in South Korea. We wanted to bring a little bit of something "American" to our men and women in uniform, and give them a taste of home. So, what better way than a classic American tune by a legendary American band. The song went over so well we decided to keep playing it and subsequently recorded it for our "Live and Louder" album. Enjoy the Daisies version, the video, and your FREEDOM the troops are fighting for on this celebration of our independence as a young, sovereign nation!!!”
Fresh from their European Tour playing at some of the biggest Rock Festivals and sold-out headline shows, culminating in beyond capacity headline performances in Salzburg, Budapest, Prague and Japan, the band are making their way to the US. Don’t miss them on their first-ever North American Headline Tour, entitled The Dirty Dozen, marching across the US in August.

July 22 - Moon & Stars - Locarno, Switzerland August 25 - Baltic Open Air 2017 - Schleswig, Germany Courtesy of www.bravewords.com Legendary English guitarist John Sykes (TYGERS OF PAN TANG, THIN LIZZY, WHITESNAKE, BLUE MURDER, SYKES) will release his first album in seventeen years, "Sy-Ops", before the end of 2017. The tentative track listing for the effort is as follows: 01. Dawning Of A Brand New Day 02. Believe In Yourself 03. My Guitar 04. Out Alive 05. Jammin' 06. Six String Gun 07. Howlin' N' Moanin' 08. Slave 09. Who Are You 10. Gates Of Hell The 57-year-old completed the material for the disc three years ago. "But then my manager died," he explained. "With him I lost someone I could really trust. So I put the disc on ice." Sykes added that his first album since 2000's "Nuclear Cowboy" will live up to his fans' expectations. "People who like what I did on the 1987 [self-titled album] from WHITESNAKE and the two studio records from BLUE MURDER" will be pleased by the new material, he said. The new album will be released in a digipak format with a full-color six-panel artwork courtesy of David Dees. The CD reportedly features guest appearances by the following musicians: * Josh Freese (WEEZER, A PERFECT CIRCLE, GUNS N' ROSES, DEVO): Drums * Tony Franklin (THE FIRM): Bass * Chris Chaney (JANE'S ADDICTION): Bass * Jamie Muhoberac (THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS, FLEETWOOD MAC, THE ROLLING STONES): Keyboards Sykes's much-hyped collaborative project with drummer Mike Portnoy (DREAM THEATER, AVENGED SEVENFOLD, ADRENALINE MOB) came to an abrupt end in January 2012. Portnoy later blamed the split on the fact that he "couldn't wait around any longer" for Sykes to get ready to enter the studio. Sykes announced his departure from THIN LIZZY in July 2009, explaining that "I feel it's time to get back to playing my own music." Courtesy of www.blabbermouth.net
