PR reports: “Talking Metal’s” coverage of
the 2007 edition of VH1’s Rock Honors continues with exclusive video “podcasts”
featuring Ozzy Osbourne and Zakk Wylde. The 4-minute Ozzy episode includes
excerpts from the 15-minute interview hosts Mark Strigl and John Ostronomy
conducted with Ozzy in Las Vegas on May 11. Topics include the Moscow Music
Peace Festival, Black Sabbath, Ozzfest, The Beatles, and Jack Osbourne.
The Zakk Wylde episode, entitled “The Making of the ‘Zakk Wylde’ Interview”

| Guff
Recruit Steve Perry for new CD |
PR reports: With nearly 10 years of existence
and 700 shows under their belt and not much recognition to show for it,
Athens Georgia's Guff is apparently in it for all the right reasons. From
tying together entire sections of tours via roll-up-and-hop-on shows to
drug busts and volunteering as medical research subjects in a middle-of-America
no name town in order to get cash to fix a destroyed tour van, Guff has
remained diligently committed to a punk ethos and work ethic despite the
ever-persistent saturation of the independent artist's existence.
Their upcoming release, "Symphony Of Voices"
(out June 26th on Go Kart Records) is a straight on, no frills collection
of high octane melodic punk. While over the years countless others have
spliced the classic methods with flavor-of-the-day chugs, sobs, and so
forth, Guff remains true to the genre's purest form. If you've ever had
a soft spot for pop-minded punk prepare to have it re-tenderized.
While Guff was in the studio Journey's
own Steve Perry happened to randomly stop by to visit a friend. Upon hearing
the band he was so impressed that he proposed that they collaborate with
him on song. Track 12, "I Can See It In Your Eyes", was produced by Steve
Perry and also features vocals from the legendary arena rocker.[see full

the hell is an OFCOM? |
PR reports: As you may or may not have heard...
The Cribs' video for new single "Men's Needs" has been banned-- apparently
it's "too shocking"... It's been banned from appearing on MTV2 before 9pm
due to an OFCOM complaint.
The video contains extremely realistic
gore and bloody, bloody violence* depicting drummer Ross Jarman's arm being
sliced off and bassist Ryan Jarman getting beheaded which apparently didn't
fly so well with parents.
Men's Needs Women's Needs, Whatever will
be released digitally on May 22 and will hit stores on July 17.
Watch the 'shocking' video at the full
story link. You know you want to.

| Hell
is for Heros Recording |
PR reports: After a two year break since their
last release ‘Transmit Disrupt’, HELL IS FOR HEROES went back in the studio
to record their eponymous follow up, an album of brooding and powerful
rock. From the hypnotic wall of guitars of “To Die For” to the anthemic,
pulsing distortion of first single “You’ve Got Hopes”, from the sweeping
vocals of “Once And For All” to the simple ballsy groove of “Hand’s Up!”
this is an album showcasing a band at their very best and most intense,
full of driving rhythm sections and intricate guitar lines overlaid with
powerful melodies. [see full story for more]- Click

A.D. Finally Arrives |
PR reports: Dortmund, Germany’s Squealer A.D.
may have released the most intense, ballsy, adventurous, dense, abstract
and alternative metal CD of the year in Confrontation Street (Locomotive;
due May 22; originally released OCT. ‘06) . Its 11 tracks in 45:56 bespeaks
a soiled profundity, one that takes time getting used to but sinks in hard,
like a tattoo, and doesn’t, no matter what you do, ever come out again.
Its vision is bleak; its purview mired in a hopeless fury of inchoate yearning.
You don’t sit down to simply enjoy such a passion, you inject it, then
lie down and let its effects wash over you.
Judas Priest knew the inherent power within.
That’s why the superstar act asked them to open a 2002 tour. The new record,
flush with the thrill of Euro stages, was started in 2003 and scheduled
for 2005. A hospital stay, though, for singer Andy “Henner” Allendorfer,
pushed production back. So the release date was postponed for what they
thought would be 2006. On January 16, 2005, on the way to a private gig
for a fan who just turned 50, Henner’s car skated on some black roadside
ice and he died at the scene of the crash. He was 38.[see full story for

| EOTO
Spring Tour |
PR reports: EOTO is proud to announce its
2007 spring tour. Michael Travis and Jason Hann (both members of the String
Cheese Incident) take on different roles in this non-stop show that bridges
the gap between the energy of a live band and DJ-played club music. Travis
mans the stringed instruments and keys along with various effects and loops
while Hann displays his drumset prowess.
In order to cement themselves on the "musician"
side of electronica, EOTO is less about the gadgets and all about the dance
party. "We use gear as a way of being able to do all of this live with
just the 2 of us and no pre-recorded tracks, but our goal is to be able
to create new club music on the spot and put it down as quickly as if you
were dropping a needle on the latest new track - without stopping the dance
flow all set or all night" says Hann. EOTO hits the groove hard with their
brand of live Breakbeat, House, Drum n Bass, and Trip-Hop club genres[see
