Throttlerod Hit The Road
Away Team reports: After spending the last few months holed up writing new music, the leviathan that is Throttlerod is taking to the streets once again to unleash their fiery brand of Rock & Roll. As the weather turns warmer the band is biting at the chomps to hit the road and play some of their favorite places this summer. Throttlerod is still touring in support of their breakout album "HELL AND HIGH WATER" (Small Stone Records) and their semi-acoustic EP "STARVE THE DEAD" that takes the listener on a journey quite unlike anything Throttlerod has ever done before without forsaking the overall quality and grittiness of the signature Throttlerod sound. 

To ensure massive casualties and maximum carnage on the road, Throttlerod has enlisted the likes of Isabelle's Gift (Universal) to support the undertaking of helping Throttlerod bring the rock to the people. Isabelle's Gift has recently finished recording their debut album for Universal and have begun to make a name for themselves with their passionate live show. Described by many as the next "Guns N Roses" their white trash brand of Rock N Roll must be seen live to truly be understood. [see full story for dates]- Click Here for the Full Story
