Fall Out Prozac

punkbands reports: Here is the latest journal update from Pete of Fall Out Boy: Citing 'irreconcilable differences with myself'. Selling 50,000 records a week and i can't look in the mirror. I am disappointed in myself. I am disappointed in this. And it should have been kept safe. The reason we never told anyone is because we knew the world would ruin it. and at the end of the day it did.
the whispers never stopped.
i lied. so you lied.
and it made you crazy. and i'm sorry.
people pulled us apart. lured us. and you were my home.
it didn't matter what was said when our heads were on the sides of the pillows.
last night i dreamt it turned out differently.

Kayos reports: Eagle Rock Entertainment, the leading independent source for high quality music audio/visual programming, will release Legends Live at Montreux 1997, a live performance at Europe's most prestigious music festival from a supergroup featuring superstar guitarist Eric Clapton, saxophonist David Sanborn, bassist Marcus Miller, pianist-organist Joe Sample and drummer Steve Gadd. The DVD hit the streets on September 6.

Legends Live at Montreux is a rare opportunity to see one of the world's great guitarists freed from his responsibilities as a frontman. Here, Clapton is just one of the guys-although "guys" in this case happen to be the jazz/rock/blues elite. The combined résumé of each of the other four would take up far too much space to list here -- each has contributed to hundreds of landmark recordings.

I Am The Avalanche

Press Release reports: Straight outta Brooklyn, I AM THE AVALANCHE will release their self-titled full-length debut on September 27, 2005 on Drive-Thru Records.

Produced by Barrett Jones (Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Melvins) the self-titled album resonates with Vinnie Caruana’s (former front-man of The Movielife) sometimes dark, but always clever lyrical musings accompanied by heavy, intoxicating guitars and drums. It is energized, melodic, turbulent, scathing and vulnerable, reflecting the frustration, instability and hope of its creator and resonating with the twists and turns of an artist coming to grips with the situations he has faced and overcome.
