Guitarist Jake McReynolds commented on the upcoming tour: "The Sandwich CD Release Party Tour is going to be an EPIC journey across this great country, leaving in its wake a new breed of metal fan. I am looking forward to this tour, because I am really proud of the new songs. We will definitely play the favorites from the first record, but this tour is about the new songs. It's about the new Psychostick."

"My band is stupid and they're making me tour," adds vocalist Rob 'Rawrb' Kersey. "What is it with these jerks? All I know is that this time around we're going to surgically rock faces directly off of all cranial cavities that are within a 50 mile radius of any and all shows put on by Psychostick. Then we can sell the slightly used faces on the black market to buy video games. That's why we're here, right? Video games? No, it was for food. But why just food? We can eat food and play video games at the same time! Genius!"

Molotov Solution Harbinger Details
Metal Blade reports: In preparation for their upcoming release The Harbinger, Las Vegas metal act Molotov Solution has just released the track listing and album artwork to the Metal Blade Records debut.

The Harbinger will contain 11 blistering tracks, which were recorded with Tim Lambesis (As I Lay Dying), Daniel Castleman, and Kelly Cairns at Lambesis studios in San Diego, CA (Sworn Enemy, Impending Doom, War of Ages).

"Working with people like Kelly and Daniel at Lambesis Studio allowed our CD to really come out the way we intended it to simply because the mass amount of time they put into it for us. Jeremy managed to shell out all 11 tracks in about 9 hours which allowed us to focus greatly on vocals and guitars! With at least 12 hours a day for about 3 weeks of constant performing, we honestly feel that the songs could not get any tighter. - more on this story

. Steve Wynn - Crossing Dragon Bridge
Steve Wynn made his name with The Dream Syndicate, which brought a whole lot of The Velvet Undergrounds darkness into L.A.s Paisley Underground back in the 80s. He sure doesnt sound like the mumbling psychedelic growler he was back then. (4 stars) - Read the full Steve Wynn - Crossing Dragon Bridge review

. Elder
Elder is a fitting name for this Fairhaven, Massachusetts doom trio. Rather than try fusing a bunch of influences into a jumbled, messy take on the future, Elder instead immerses itself into the primordial glop of doom from the past. - Read the full Elder review
