Lambgoat reports: Metal Blade Records/High
Impact Records recording artist A Love Ends Suicide has officially changed
their name to Lets Fighting. The band has issued the following update:
"We have been MIA for quite a while now
but as you can see we have a lot of new changes going on. We have officially
changed our band name to 'Let's Fighting.' (For personal reasons) We got
the name from a South Park episode. They had a song on one episode that
went 'Let's Fighting Love,' but since we already had the word 'Love' in
our last name, we just kept the first 2 words. It makes no sense but we
like it.[see full story for more]- Click

S.O.D. songs, plus a live concert from Seattle is included.
One of the crucial bands in the musical
chain linking hardcore punk with metal, the Stormtroopers of Death - known
as S.O.D. – were actually intended to be a one-off side project, done as
a lark. [see full story for more - S.O.D. fans will get that headline.

PR reports: Since the 2007 release of his
genre-blending debut album "No Return From Snockville," New Hampshire-based
musician Billy Sharff has been called "an artist well worth watching" (Boston's
The Noise) with a "great rock voice" (Taxi A&R Company). "Snockville"
combines folk, blues, rock, and a hint of jazz to deliver original songs
that are "well-written and full of keen insights" (Boston's The Noise).
Billy Sharff is currently touring with
the Boston-based gypsy-rock band Pariah Beat, and will be playing throughout
New England and New York over the summer and fall of 2007.
"No Return From Snockville" is available
directly from Sharff's website, www.bsharff.com, through iTunes, CD Baby,

Experience Hendrix PR reports: Since 1995,
James “Al” Hendrix, the sole heir of Jimi Hendrix, and his close family
members and their companies have been committed to preserving Jimi Hendrix’s
musical, cultural and artistic legacy. Experience Hendrix has registered
and continuously used trademarks of Jimi Hendrix’s name, his image, his
signature and other logos in careful marketing of Jimi’s music, recordings,
artistic properties and related merchandise throughout the world.
In 2005, a federal district court dismissed
Experience Hendrix’s claim that the James Marshall Hendrix Foundation’s
use of certain Jimi Hendrix personality rights had violated the Washington
Personality Rights Act. The Court reasoned that a 1903 New York Civil Rights
law, which does not recognize a celebrity’s posthumous personality rights,
and not the Washington Act, should apply to the case. Yesterday, the 9th
Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed that decision. While Experience Hendrix
will request a rehearing, the Court’s decision today will not affect Experience
Hendrix’s exclusive ownership of Jimi’s music and recordings and will not
affect the trademarks that Experience Hendrix has used and will continue
to use in maintaining and promoting Jimi’s legacy. - Click

PR reports: Victory Records, Inc announces
the use of Album Trailers as a new promotional medium.
Album Trailers are a new way to launch
an album. Is it a website? Is it a commercial? Does it make me curious?
Can it be shared? Is it viral? Is it interactive? Is it fun? Is it engaging?
Does it have information? Is there something in it for ‘me’? Am I entertained
by it? The answer to all of these is questions is a resounding- yes.
Our entire world has become more communal
and interactive. We are all increasingly intertwined by various forms of
technology. Album Trailers marries this reality into an online, interactive
platform for promoting new artists and music. Victory Records’ debut Album
Trailer is for Silverstein’s forthcoming album, ‘Arrivals & Departures’,
in stores July 3. Album Trailers can be accessed free of charge at http://www.victoryrecords.com/AlbumTrailers
