Sounds Like:

American Heartbreak
American Heartbreak
2006

Arena-ready, classic rock-inspired power pop for fans of Kiss, Cheap Trick and AC/DC. The San Francisco-based quintet – co-founded by Billy Rowe, onetime guitarist for Jetboy (a band All Music Guide calls “one of the best-kept secrets of ‘80s glam metal”) – blend a punk-influenced pop-metal aesthetic with the melodic allure and accessible hooks of classic pop radio. If the New Wave Of Classic Rock is in session, American Heartbreak is at the head of the class.

Track list:

Somebody / Sick N' Tired / Love Your Abuse / Things Are Looking Up / Raise Up Your Hands / The Girl Who Knows Nothing At All / The Last Of The Superheroes (Of The 1970s) / Unhappily Ever After / 21 & Easy (Simple Things Like Rock N' Roll) / Crawling / Fallen Angels / Isolation / Bitch

Fu Manchu
Hung Out To Dry EP
2006

The legendary SoCal quartet FU MANCHU – hailed by their hometown O.C. Weekly as “soul-cleansing, no-frills, balls-out rock n’ roll” – return with a new EP! The four-track release, which combines a gatefold seven-inch single and a four-track compact disc, contains two songs from their forthcoming tenth studio album, a cover of Van Halen’s “D.O.A.” and an original track exclusive to the EP, which is limited to 3,000 copies worldwide.

Track list:

Hung Out To Dry (album version) / Between The Lines (album version) / Never Again (EP exclusive) / D.O.A. (EP exclusive)

Crash Kelly
Electric Satisfaction
2006

Produced by Gilby Clarke (Guns N’ Roses, Rock Star Supernova), the Toronto quartet’s sophomore album is a modern yet timeless mix of glam, classic rock and power-pop. If their 2005 debut Penny Pills left you jonesing for more, Electric Satisfaction is your fix. Features a cover of Alice Cooper's "Cold Ethyl."

Track list:

Hang Out Where You Matter / Ride The Wire / Turn It Around / 33 On The Charts / Two Year Runaround / Count On Me, Count On You / She Put The Shock (In My Rock N' Roll) / Cut On Your Tongue / Rock And Roll Disasters (On The Radio) / Cracked And Faded / You're A Drag When You're High / Cold Ethyl (bonus track)

Crucified Barbara
In Distortion We Trust
2006

The Swedish quartet has been called a cross between Motorhead and The Runaways, but their debut album In Distortion We Trust might be better described as the record we hope the reunited Motley Crue will make. Bonuses include a blistering cover of Motorhead’s “Killed By Death” and music videos for each of the group’s three singles released in their home country.

Track list:

Play Me Hard (The Bachelor's Guitar) / In Distortion We Trust / Losing The Game / Motorfucker / I Need A Cowboy From Hell / My Heart Is Black / Hide 'Em All / Going Down / I Wet Myself / Rock 'n' Roll Bachelor / Bad Hangover / Killed By Death / Losing The Game (video) / Rock 'n' Roll Bachelor (video) / Play Me Hard (The Bachelor's Guitar)(video)

Fireball Ministry
Their Rock Is Not Our Rock
2005

Produced by the Grammy-winning Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Velvet Revolver, Queens of the Stone Age), Their Rock Is Not Our Rock showcases the definitive Fireball Ministry sound: sneering riffs, driving rhythms, hooky harmonies, catchy choruses and a classic-rock sensibility. Any who prematurely wrote rock's epitaph will have their faith restored as they're baptized by fire. Includes the hit single “Sundown,” as seen on MTV2’s “Headbangers Ball” and NBC’s “Last Call With Carson Daly.”

Track list:

It Flies Again / Sundown / The Broken / In The End / Hellspeak / Two Tears / Under The Thunder / Spill The Demons / Rising From The Deep / Save The Saved

Girls Got Rhythm
2006

A tribute to the biggest names in hard rock by the women who love them. Includes covers of tracks by AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Kiss and more by such well-known groups as The Iron Maidens, ThundHerStruck, Cheap Chick and more! Features cover art by Alan Forbes (AFI, Queens of the Stone Age, Black Crowes).

Track list:

THUNDHERSTRUCK - Thunderstruck / THE IRON MAIDENS - Run To The Hills / MISTRESS OF REALITY - Fairies Wear Boots / CHEAP CHICK - Surrender / BLACK DIAMOND - Love Gun / MS. FITS - Last Caress / HELL'S BELLES - Back In Black / THE LITTLE DOLLS - I Don't Know / ZEPPARELLA - The Lemon Song / KISSEXY - Lick It Up / WHOLE LOTTA ROSIES - Dog Eat Dog / RAMONAS - Sheena Is A Punk Rocker / FOXEY LADY - Foxey Lady

The Hellacopters
Rock and Roll Is Dead
2006

Don’t be misled by the title: Rock & Roll Is Dead is living proof that the genre is alive and well, and that as they begin their second decade of international conquests, Swedish legends The Hellacopters will continue to be its heartbeat. A testament to both the staying power of the genre and one of its most beloved bands.

Track list:

Before The Fall / Everything's On T.V. / Monkeyboy / No Angel To Lay Me Away / Bring It On Home / Leave It Alone / Murder On My Mind / I'm In The Band / Put Out The Fire / I Might Come See You Tonight / Nothing Terribly New / Make It Tonight / Time Got No Time To Wait For Me / Positively So Naive (bonus) / It Might Mean Something To You (bonus) / Everything's On T.V. (video) / I'm In The Band (video)

The Illuminati
On Borrowed Time
2006

Heavy, psychedelic boogie-rock that reconciles southern-fried swagger with the power and intensity of mid-80's British heavy metal – or, better yet, sounds like Molly Hatchet, Motorhead and Lynyrd Skynyrd duking it out over the final drink just before last call. It’s time to return to a sense of wonder. It’s time for The Illuminati.

Track list:

Sphere Of Influence / Black Russian Blues / Message Home / Impressions / Casual Surveillance / On Borrowed Time / Goin' Down / Rain Delay / The Jericho Mile / Sir Lord Brubeck / Lay Low / Steal 'Yer Thunder / On My Way Back Home...Again (bonus) / Goin' Down (video) / On My Way Back Home...Again (video)

Nebula
Apollo
2006

Combining the combustibility of the sun with the mysticism of the moon, Apollo lives up to its name and reaffirms Nebula’s reputation as one of rock’s brightest stars – in this galaxy or any other. Produced by Daniel Rey (Ramones, Misfits, L7), and features a bonus live video of new song “Future Days.”

Track list:

Orbit / Loose Cannon / Fever Frey / Lightbringer / Future Days / Ghost Ride / The Alchemist / Trapezium Procession / Controlled / The Eagle Has Landed / Fruit Of My Soul / Decadent Garden / Wired / Opiate Float Orbit / Future Days (video)

Scott Reeder
Tunnelvision Brilliance
2006

As a member of two legendary underground bands (Kyuss and The Obsessed), Scott Reeder helped to lay the groundwork for a revival of organic and heavy yet musical rock championed to this day by both cult and mainstream icons alike. Written and recorded over the last 18 years, TunnelVision Brilliance is a solo record in the truest sense of the word, with all songs written and performed entirely by Reeder and Reeder alone. It’s a much more personal and intimate soundscape than his thunderously heavy past, an inspired (and undeniably psychedelic) trip through the subconscious of one of rock’s brightest luminaries.

Track list:

When I Was / Thanks / The Silver Tree / Away / Diamond / When? / For Renee / The Day Of Neverending / Queen of Greed / Fuck You All / To An End / The Fourth / As I'm Dreaming
