| Mower
Coming |
Luck Media reports: Since the release of Mower's
blistering, intentionally assaulting self-titled debut in 2003, the San
Diego based powerhouse some call "California's hardest working band" has
shot up to the rock and metal big leagues, touring and opening for icons
like Metallica, Deftones, Linkin Park, P.O.D., Staind, Soulfly, Papa Roach,
Slayer and Disturbed.
Fresh from a recent 40-date fall tour with
Suburban Noize labelmates and counterculture icons Kottonmouth Kings, Mower
continues its all-out, attitude-driven advance ransacking your senses with
a wild and wickedly eclectic new album that the San Diego based rockers'
fans will love but is definitely Not For You. The 15-track collection will
drop April 4, 2006, allowing a few months for everyone to prepare themselves
for an openly defiant, rumbling and punishing roll through a slate that
runs the stylistic gamut from punk to hardcore, metal to rock and even,
as co-lead vocalist Dominic Moscatello says, "a little lounge." [see full

the Beatles onto vinyl � and put together the greatest pop music albums
ever recorded � recording engineer Geoff Emerick made full use of his soundboard
skills and his ingenuity, work with the Fab Four and their producer George
Martin to create records unlike anything the world had heard up to that
point. HERE, THERE AND EVERYWHERE : My Life Recording the Music of the
Beatles (Gotham Books; $26.00; March 2006) is four-time Grammy winner and
recording industry legend Emerick's story of the years he spend at EMI
studios at Abbey Road, working with the band to shape albums such as Sgt.
Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and Revolver (recently named the #1 and
#3 greatest albums of all time by Rolling Stone). Emerick started at EMI
as a fifteen-year-old assistant engineer � just in time to witness the
first studio recording by the Beatles -- and by the time he was nineteen
he was their main recording engineer for the groundbreaking Revolver, turning
the sounds the heard in their heads into the music that would change the
world.[see full story for more]- Click
