Dress Like Bon Jovi If You Dare
BW&BK reports: MTV reports that Kenneth Cole and JON BON JOVI have teamed up for a menswear line. "It's a line of clothes called Jon Bon Jovi, or JBJ," said Cole. "It's cool rock and roll jackets, but urbanized. It's about who Jon is, and it's not just about his style onstage, but who he is offstage. We've taken a lot of archival clothes that he's worn over the years, and we've made them modern." The line will be available on Bon Jovi's website and in Kenneth Cole stores beginning October 1st. All proceeds will go to homeless organization Help USA. [no word yet on the Bon Jovi line of "Steal Horses"] - Click Here for the Full Story

Grave Digger Victory
PR reports: Spain's powerhouse Locomotive Records is set to release two major metal statements on October 10: Yesterday by Grave Digger and Fuel To The Fire by Victory. 

Victory is the respected Hanover, Germany, Power Metal band that in its 20-year career has elicited raves from critics and fans alike. Now, for the first time, it adds fuel to the fire by actually re-recording some of its greatest songs to add modern day studio techniques in an effort to make them sound better than ever. Totally rearranged, remixed, remastered, newly performed, newly sung, these 12 tracks represent the zenith of Power as an artform. And, as a bonus for its fans, one brand new track, "I Felt It Coming," brings the proceedings up to an unholy 13. [see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story

Nirvana Floyd Rex
PR reports: The DNA-analysis results aren't in yet -- besides, the jury is reportedly still out on the whole "science" thing anyway* -- but we have reason to believe that Marc Bolan, Syd Barrett and Kurt Cobain could have each had illegitimate sons who later went on to form a band together. The most glaring evidence being Mother Nature's Sons, the Howler Records debut album by Rhode Island trio Monstrous. Using advanced sonic technology referred to as a Compact Disc (CD) player to determine these genetic links, a crack team of researchers has determined that Monstrous' songs could in fact have been created by the offspring of such legendary talents. Monstrous will release its first studio album, Mother Nature's Slaves, on September 19th, 2006.- Click Here for the Full Story

PR reports: NOT A PHOTOGRAPH Available on DVD November 21, 2006 Through MVD Visual.

For a band deemed 'too ahead-of-their-time' during their initial existence, NOT A PHOTOGRAPH follows Mission of Burma's struggle to breathe new life into a tale that's already been recorded in rock's history books, and has placed them under the lights of acclaim, influence and legendary status.

The Knife NYC

The shows, scheduled for 7:00pm and 11:00pm November 1st 2006, mark the first time the band has performed twice in one night.

Manowar Delayed
PR reports: The release of the upcoming MANOWAR album has been postponed and as a result, so has the accompanying European Demons, Dragons and Warriors Tour.

However, fans should not be alarmed, as MANOWAR has a good reason for this postponement. "This is actually being done for the betterment of our fans," says bassist and MANOWAR founder Joey DeMaio."After having to delay the tour the first time due to Karl's accident the band returned to the studio to continue work on the album. We wanted to do something special for the fans and so we decided the only real way to thank them for their faith would be to give them more Manowar metal."[see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story
