Jon Wisbey of the BCFM radio show in Bristol, England has just announed the Top 10 albums of 2007. At number ONE is Crash Street Kids "Chemical Dogs" !

The album earned very high praise from Jon, his listeners, and various industry people in and around the UK.

"...'A very impressive release', 'Sounds like Mott the Hoople and all my favourite 70's sleaze bands rolled into one'. 'Outstanding musicianship', 'A release packed full of energy and emotion', 'An album full of memorable songs', ' This band deserve to be huge'.."

All this comes off the heels of Chemical Dogs earning an album of the year nomination at the 2008 Phoenix Music Awards, and Crash Street Kids taking home the "Breakthrough Artist of the Year" at the 2007 Hollywood FAME awards held at the infamous Whiskey a Go Go.

"..we are all such big fans of bands from the UK, so this is an amazing thrill for us, it's something we'll cherish.." said Crash Street Kids frontman Ryan McKay.

Plans are in the works for CSK to tour overseas in '08. Ryan McKay added "..we plan on going the UK as soon as we can, right now we are gearing up to tour the southwest US, and maybe Japan. But to play in England would be killer..."

Crash Street Kids "Chemical Dogs" is available at Itunes, amazon.com and many other online outlets.

Chuy's Adds Crash Street Kids To It's Wall of Fame!
Phoenix, Arizona --- The Crash Street Kids are back in Phoenix working on the follow up to the highly acclaimed “Chemical Dogs” album, but were not to busy to take time out to sign a few autographs.

Award winning restaurant chain “Chuy’s”, known for their mesquite grill and affinity for rock and roll, invited CSK to come down and sign posters of their New Times cover to be placed prominently in all locations in Arizona and California. District manager Steve Burris, who organized the event says, “The guys are great and they are the best new group I’ve seen in years …”

‘This is a great way to kick off the new year” said guitarist Ricky Serrano as he adorned a poster with the phrase “SxRxRnR”. With a little imagination, one can figure out his code.

Crash Street Kids are coming off of a banner year with several awards and top honors. They took home “Breakthrough Artist of the Year” at the Hollywood FAME Awards, and “Chemical Dogs” was number one on the list of UK’s BCFM radio best albums of 2007.

CRASH STREET KIDS SIGHTING

Mesa, Arizona. Fans of Crash Street Kids lined the fence at Falcon Field to get a glimpse of their favorite Crash Street Kids, kid. The foursome stopped to greet the excited followers before boarding a flight to an undisclosed location to wrap up recording of their third album; due to be release in May.

The excited fans yelled and screamed, as Crash Street Kids walked out onto the tarmac, holding up signs and offering up whatever they could find to have autographed; the more bold of the fans baring a shoulder or tummy for the chance of a signature.

As the foursome boarded the Gulfstream jet, they paused for a final wave to the crowd before disappearing into the plane.
