Upcoming Music Releases on CTW

Dead Season - From The Grave - Rock - ( ask Colin when he feels like sending me the CD )

Complete collection including the never released but underground sought after album, the 7" and demo tracks. Passionate melodic aggressive rock that stands the test of time and pulls at the heart like no other.

The band was influential and loved all over by punk, indie, emo, metal, and hardcore kids alike. This is one one of those bands that broke up far before it's time due to difficulties of getting their CD out time and time again. After the demise of the band later on Colin would be asked to put his unique passion into Radio Holiday. CTW is so happy and honored to finally represent this legendary work. - CTW 35

Synopsis: While the F.B.I are busy trying to decode the encrypted tapes of telephone conversations allegedly wiretapped by P.I. Anthony Pellicano on behalf of Hollywood power-players and A-list celebrities, we already have the first work of fiction to satirize the scandal.

Hollywood Wiretapping is easily as demented as its controversial predecessor, "Electric Beauty and the Beast", William Wheaton sets his sights this time on Tom Cruise, Pat Robertson, Mensa, Garry Glitter and much more in eleven short stories derived from demented media iconography from the mainstream to the countercultural. "William Wheaton is the surrealist of the machine age"-Sharon Mesmer, author of The Empty Quarter
