Lose Drummer |
SMN reports: CELLADOR have announced their
need for a new drummer! If you feel as though you fit the part, read on:
“It’s been less than four months since
we parted ways with our bass player, and we’re happy to inform you that
we have found a replacement. His name will be announced soon, but I can
assure that some of you already know who he is. He’s definitely the best
choice we could have made, and you’ll all be very impressed with him. But
unfortunately, I have to - once again - announce that CELLADOR is no longer
working with drummer and very good friend David Dahir. He has always been
more into death metal and more brutal styles of music, and even more recently
has began to further venture into the realm of extreme music.[see full

| Fairmont
Wait and Hope with new CD |
PR reports: “This album is the autobiographical
pop revenge anthems of its author,” says Fairmont front man Neil Sabatino
of his band’s upcoming 4th full-length release Wait & Hope due out
June 12, 2007 on Go For Broke Records. Following the album’s release Fairmont
will hit the road to support the record. The album, produced by Dean Baltulonis
(The Hold Steady, The Explosion, Paint It Black), was written over the
last two years during a very tense time in the existence of Fairmont and
draws inspiration from 60's garage rockers like The Kinks, straight through
to the indie rock of early 80's bands such as The Replacements and Husker
Du with just a smidge of 90's alternative sprinkled in. Wait & Hope
is the stories from the frustrations and experiences of Fairmont through
this time. [see full story for more]- Click
