Ike Reilly Set to Poison The Hit Parade

03/13/2008
. (PR) Ike Reilly, the leader of Chicago-based band The Ike Reilly Assassination, will be back with a vengeance on April 8th with the release of his latest album, "Poison The Hit Parade." The record is a collection of songs taken from demos from his brilliant debut, "Salesmen and Racists," and alternate versions of songs from the blistering "Sparkle In The Finish" and 2007's "We Belong To The Staggering Evening," as well as the previously unreleased title track and the massive and poignant cancer anthem, "Dragonflies."

"Poison" showcases Reilly and his bandmate Ed Tinley as producers unencumbered by the major label system and willing to frame a song in any vibe needed to hold the melodies and tales of Reilly's unique vision. Beginning with the title track, "Poison The Hit Parade" continues Reilly's prolific assault with images of characters in a conflicted middle America: patriotic doubt, the celebration of life and death, high school girls in summer dresses and more theoretical assassination attempts.

His longtime band, The Assassination, is present on several of the tracks here, but many other fine musicians can be heard on these recordings made in Chicago, Los Angeles, Denver, New York City, Jamaica and Ireland. - Myspace page
