.
Gary Cherone Returns With Hurtsmile was a Top story this week . Here is the recap: Hurtsmile, a new band featuring singer Gary Cherone (Extreme, Van Halen), will release their self-titled debut album on January 21, 2011 in Europe and February 8, 2011 in the US. According to Frontiers Records, Cherone teamed up with his brother Mark to write his most succinct record to date. "Hurtsmile was a long time coming
I always wanted to write a record with my brother," says Gary. "I'm a big fan of Mark's song writing and his snarling guitar riffs." The timing was right as Extreme was in-between their touring and record cycle, leaving Gary the freedom. They recruited Joe Pessia (bass) an alumnus of Nuno Bettencourt's Dramagods as well as the guitar player for Tantric. Joe also engineered, and co-produced the record with Gary. To round off the lineup they enlisted heavy hitter Dana Spellman on drums "It's an east coast-Boston thing," states Gary. "Mark, my brother, was in a band with Nuno's brother
Joe was in Nuno's band and Dana was a friend, and student of Mike Mangini (former Extreme drummer)
we like to keep it in the family." - more on this story
