Brief News Update for Tuesday July 12th, 2011

Van Halen ... The word is out, the beans are being spilled on the new album!

Well, it's out there folks, something had to give and it turns out that producer Ross Hogarth (Black Crowes, John Mellencamp, Roger Waters, Motley Crue), who has been working with the band on the as yet un-titled album, has been openly talking about the new disc. 
No, not to small fry like me but to http://www.ultimate-guitar.com

There's not too much, but here's a part of that, when Ultimate-Guitar.com's Joe Matera was interviewing Ross Hogarth in their series "Producer and Engineer" and one question Joe posed to Ross was:

Joe: You’re currently working with Van Halen on their new record?
 
 
Ross: 'The whole Van Halen record has been recorded and we’re all excited. We have just started mixing the record. I’m really stoked about it, as it is the original band, Eddie and Alex with Wolf playing bass, and David Lee Roth singing, it’s the killing side of Van Halen at the top of their game again with Diamond Dave, and the band on fire.'

There's a lot more interesting stuff in the interview, including a few more references to Van Halen, but you can read the whole thing right here:


Other than that, Andrew McNiece at www.melodicrock.com also apparently has a source within the Van Halen camp, who has shared a bunch of information with Andrew including that the new album should be released around late October this year and most likely that a US tour will follow in November. Andrew posted his information from his source in his news Monday 11th July (Yesterday) at www.melodicrock.com

KYNG
READY TO BRING THEIR
SELF-PROCLAIMED “CALIFORNIA HEAVY” MUSIC TO THE MASSES;


‘TRAMPLED SUN’ DEBUT ALBUM OUT SEPTEMBER 27;
TOUR WITH POP EVIL AND BLACK STONE CHERRY
STARTS JULY 16
July, 2011 -- There’s new Rock Royalty in town.
 KYNG--singer/songwriter Eddie Veliz, bassist Tony Castaneda and drummer Pepe Clarke Magana—will release their debut album, TRAMPLED SUN, September 27 on REALID Records (through Warner Music Group’s Independent Label Group). The first two singles, “Falling Down” and “Trails in Veins,” were mixed by Mike Watts (Adelita’s Way, Hopesfall, Quicksand, Brand New) and are set to hit radio airwaves mid-July and will be available for download on July 26.
AOL/Noisecreep.com recently premiered “Falling Down,” which can be heard here: http://aol.it/jiKwXf.
After years of working off and on with each other on various projects, the trio decided to propagate the idea of a band that would closer fulfill their musical desires. Within months of jamming together they were sold on the chemistry and promptly headed into the studio to record their debut album. The sound they realized—which they call "California Heavy”--was exactly what they had sought after, a unique and universally appealing combination of heavy and captivating concepts, channeling influences from Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin to Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age.
As proclaimed in a collective statement: "We wanted a band that could stand alongside anything in the scene, have the ability to crossover seamlessly and still bridge who we are.”
Reminiscent at times of the metal and hard rock of the late 1970s in style and musical collection, with a presentation that is totally heavy, classic and modern-day all at once, they are sure to refresh the Active Rock and Metal landscapes of today and tomorrow. As drummer Pepe Clarke MagaƱa puts it, “I think we’re doing stuff, or a combination of stuff, that has been done before, in a way that has never been done before.
In touring news, the band has recently completed dates with The Sword. Up next, they’ll be heading out with Black Stone Cherry and Pop Evil starting July 16 in Illinois. 
Check them out at any of the following stops, with more dates to be added soon:

CANDLELIGHT RED CONFIRMED FOR SUMMER TOUR WITH SAVING ABEL


Candlelight Red continue to land prime opening slots with renowned rock acts, as it has been announced that the group (vocalist Ryan Hoke, guitarist Jeremy Edge, bassist Jamie Morral, and drummer Josh Hetrick) will be opening this summer for Saving Abel on a nationwide US tour.

The tour kicked off this past Saturday, July 9th in Williamsport, PA (the band's hometown) with a headlining performance, and will wrap up on Wednesday, August 30th in Erie, PA. Additional dates should be announced soon for September, as well.

The band's debut single "Closer," continues to climb the active rock radio charts (with double digit stations spinning the track), and the group recently finished work on their Imagen Records debut, 'The Wreckage,' with producer David Ivory (Silvertide, Halestorm and The Roots).
'The Wreckage' will be released sometime in the 3rd quarter of 2011.

Candlelight Red is no stranger to sharing the stage with established and well-known hard rock acts, as they have opened for both KISS and was part of the Rockstar Energy Uproar Festival (which included Disturbed, Avenged Sevenfold, Stone Sour, Halestorm, and Hellyeah) and just finished a month long tour with Egypt Central.

With each additional tour, Candlelight Red is closing in on headlining status themselves, so catch the group in an intimate setting while you still can!
