gaining notoriety with critical acclaim for their debut CD, SUPERSONIC,
has announced the addition of bassist Clint Amereno to their lineup. Band
founder and keyboardist Micah Sheveloff will be taking over lead vocal
duties from former bassist Francesco Perrouna.

where I needed to sing my own melodies," Sheveloff reported. "I asked Fowler
to come up with the most killer rhythm section for the next record, and
he asked Clint to the party."
Amereno has had experience playing numerous
styles, both live and in the studio. His first band opened in support of
such acts as Fear Factory and Fuel before he signed on to tour with 12
