Also coming from Versailles on Jan 29th the debut album from Richard Kendrick who contributed songs to the Vai/Satriani and Cult tribute disc.

Punk legends Black Flag are also getting the tribute treatment through releases from Initial Records. The label has yet to nail down a release date on the full length CD but below is the latest information on the tribute tentatively titled �Black on Black�.
��this highly anticipated tribute to Black
Flag features a small, hand-picked group of some of the most important
and promising bands in hardcore that we felt embodied the spirit, ethic
and sound of Black Flag in current times. Originally intended to simply
be a 7� featuring Old Man Gloom, American Nightmare, The Hope Conspiracy
and The National Acrobat, we looked for another band to replace The National
Acrobat after their breakup and the project quickly grew into a larger,
yet still personal and concise, album. Look for these bands and songs to
appear:
AMERICAN NIGHTMARE: Depression
ANODYNE: Life Of Pain
BURNT BY THE SUN: Drinking And Driving
CONVERGE: Annihilate This Week
THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN: Damaged I, Damaged
II
THE HOPE CONSPIRACY: Nervous Breakdown
OLD MAN GLOOM: Slip It In
PLANES MISTAKEN FOR STARS: Police Story, Gimme
Gimme Gimme (12� only), Wasted (CD only)�
