The 32-year-old Texan delivers songs born of baptism-by-fire experience, world weary observations and sharp wit. While his songs draw a direct line from some of his legendary Texas heroes such as Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark, Carll has managed to put a stamp on his music that is truly his own.

The big-voiced soul singer from Macon, Georgia was on the brink of breaking big when he recorded his third, full-length album in one amazing adrenaline-charged twenty-four hour period.

Bryan Adams' latest album, "11," will be released May 13 exclusively via Wal-Mart and Sam's Club stores in the U.S. The set has been out internationally since last month on Universal.

Heading across the pond in July and August, this marks the band's first return after offering direct support to Hatebreed in April of 2007 and first set of tour dates after THE ACACIA STRAIN's plans to headlining shows throughout the US on the Sun Your Bunz Summer Tour with support from All Shall Perish, The Warriors, Eternal Lord and Since The Flood.

Produced by band cofounder Arthur Lee and The Doors' engineer/producer Bruce Botnick, the visionary album weaves a rich tapestry of sound as Lee's quavering voice delivers lyrics that are both enigmatic and poetic as he is backed by the band's gorgeous melodies and evocative orchestral arrangements.

But why release a song now rather than wait for a new album? As FFDP relates, the band wrote the song during some time away from the road and didn't want to wait for their next album to get the song to their fans. "We will be touring for the rest of the year, so we won't be releasing another album in '08," explains Guitarist Zoltan Bathory. "We're all very close to the Knuckleheads and didn't want to rip them off, so they won't have to buy the record all over again�whoever owns the album can download the song for free."

Vocalist Ivan Moody agrees, and was anxious to get the track heard by people. "We were really excited about the song, and rather than waiting a year or two to release it on a new album, we figured we should get it out there for everyone to hear as soon as possible," says Moody. "We're going to be on some kick-ass tours all this year, so we won't have time to record again for a while. Once we wrote this song and had a window to record it in KoRn's studio, we jumped at the chance."

Riding on the momentum from having played to an audience of thousands at last month's SXSW festival appearances, MUNICIPAL WASTE is looking to extend their party for one more run in the northeast before they head for Europe and come back to the states for one of the most heavily anticipated tours in years with the newly reunited innovators of melodic death metal, AT THE GATES!
