Wicked Wisdom Set Release

(Adrenaline PR) Wicked Wisdom Set To Release New Self titled Album on February 21, Also, On Tour With Sevendust…

The invitation to perform at Ozzfest 2005 came at a perfect time for the band Wicked Wisdom who had an amazing summer on the tour. Now, WW is set to release their self titled debut on 100% Womon Records & Suburban Noize Records on February 21, 2006.

More than two years ago Wicked Wisdom set out on a fearless journey to create music that defies boundaries and convention. Fronted by lead singer Jada Pinkett Smith, Wicked Wisdom gives birth to a sound unconventional and confined in any single genre. Seamlessly fusing the screaming guitars of heavy rock, driving drums of speed metal and unmistakably locked grooves of funk, with a melodic vocal style; that is fierce and vulnerable.

When Wicked Wisdom's Pocket Honore tuned down his Guitar and started writing new material with recent addition Cameron Graves A.K.A. Young Beige, the two realized they were creating a truly explosive sound.

This new sound combined with Smith's searingly honest and revealing vocals proved the band was on the right path. The addition of Fishbone founding member Phillip “Fish” Fisher on the drums pushed the sound even deeper. Bass player Rio Lawrence's extreme stage presence can only be topped by his ability to fly through his booming bass riffs with an easy aggression. Rhythm Guitarist and keyboard player Cameron Graves plays the crucial role of maintaining this band's hard melody while accompanying Pocket's wild guitar style.

It was not long before the Wicked Wisdom live show garnered major buzz and caught the attention of influential ears, including Ozzfest tour organizer Sharon Osbourne. Mistress of Ceremonies Sharon Osbourne boldly states, "I went to see Wicked Wisdom play last April in a tiny (Los Angeles) club at midnight. Let me tell you, I was blown away. When you see and hear Jada with her band it's apparent that she has nothing but love and respect for this genre of music. I totally respect that the band wants to pay their dues playing the second stage on Ozzfest."

Wicked Wisdom is: Jada Pinkett Smith (vocals), Pocket Honore (lead guitar), Phillip “Fish” Fisher (drums), Rio Lawrence (bass guitar), Cameron Graves (rhythm guitar & keys)

im in a band too


Posted by Melissa:
I heard them on fuse t.v and i thought they were actually pretty good... i dont usually listen to metalbut they were good... Jada has a really good voice..i was so suprised to see her in a metal band...I think people should give them a chance


Posted by whatever:
Am I the only person who has actually listened to this band? I saw them last night and they are horrible!! I don't care how "honest" Smith's lyrics are, the music is terrible and the whole band was offtime for half the set. Apparently money can buy just about anything but talent, she can't sing or scream, i just cannot figure out for the life of me why anyone says anything good about this band. Nobody at last nights show was even bobbing their head, let alone actually getting into it.
