Joe Perry Says Aerosmith Looking For a New Singer

November 10, 2009 By: mbutler Category: Blog

According to Joe Perry’s twitter, Aerosmith is indeed looking for a new singer. Last week during an interview with Classic Rock Magazine, Steven Tyler revealed that he is going solo. This was immediately after an Aerosmith show at Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on November 1.

On Monday, November 9th, Joe wrote this twitter post:

“Aerosmith is definetly NOT breaking up. One of the members is doing his own thing and said so in the press. That’s all I know.
In the meantime Aerosmith is positivly looking for a new singer to work with. You just can’t take 40 years of expiriance and throw it in the bin!
Band is playing hotter than ever and our songs need to be played live! Don’t dispair;”
Eight years have passed since Aerosmith released a studio album of new material. It seems, however, that Perry believes the departure of Tyler may mark a new chapter for the band.

In an interview yesterday (Nov. 9) with Boston radio station WZLX, JP said, “As long as we’re still kicking, it’s not over. We’ll probably get bored and come back.”
In the meantime, The Joe Perry Project will be starting their U.S. tour in support of “Have Guitar Will Travel” tonite in New York City.

Motion City Soundtrack Reveal Details of My Dinosaur Life: Official Release Date

November 10, 2009 By: mbutler Category: Blog

Motion City Soundtrack have revealed the details of their major label debut – My Dinosaur Life – through a post on their web site www.motioncitysoundtrack.com today.  It’s official, the album – produced by Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus and mixed by the legendary Andy Wallace (Nirvana, Sonic Youth, Kaiser Chiefs) – will be released on January 19th, 2010 on Columbia Records.  In addition, they have released the final track listing for the new album (see below) and revealed the incredible cover art by renowned collectible toy artist Joe Ledbetter – also responsible for the entire album art.

MCS

My Dinosaur Life is the exciting next chapter for Motion City Soundtrack.  The band – Justin Pierre, Joshua Cain, Matt Taylor, Tony Thaxton, and Jesse Johnson – first jumped onto the scene with their 2002 debut I Am the Movie (Epitaph).  They followed this up with 2005’s Commit This to Memory (Epitaph).  Also produced by Mark Hoppus, Commit This to Memory debuted at #72 on the Billboard 200 and has gone on to sell more than 300,000 copies.  It garnered raves from Spin, Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, and Blender among others and found Motion City Soundtrack making their late night TV debut on Late Night with Conan O’Brien.  In 2007, MCS released Even If It Kills Me (Epitaph), a markedly poppier endeavor that found them working with producers Adam Schlesinger, Eli Janney and Ric Ocasek.  This third release debuted at #16 on the Billboard 200 and once again, the critics weighed in favorably – Alternative Press featured them on the cover of their “Most Anticipated” issue, the New York Times claimed “they made an album that sounds like one long sugar rush, and so long as the rush lasts, it sounds pretty great” and SPIN proclaimed the album as “near perfect pop.”  In the Fall of 2008 Motion City Soundtrack further showcased their talents when they released alternative versions of five songs off Even If It Kills Me as an iTunes exclusive.  The culturally acclaimed hit TV series Gossip Girl featured the alternative version of “Fell In Love Without You’” in their season premiere that fall.

Enter 2010 and Motion City Soundtrack are poised to take another giant step forward with the imminent release of My Dinosaur Life – 12 new songs that are lyrically contemplative, poignantly honest, and cleverly and culturally astute.  The music harkens back to early Motion City Soundtrack with is grit and hooks while employing the musicianship and maturity the band has gained over the past seven years.  During these years they’ve accomplished quite a bit – including headlining Warped tour, Bamboozle and the mvtU Campus Invasion Tour to playing Lollapalooza, Fuji Rock Festival and Honda Civic Tour.  They’ve won two mtvU Woodie Awards – in 2005 the Breaking Woodie for Best Emerging Artist and in 2008 the Best Video Woodie for “It Had to Be You.”  Motion City Soundtrack has worked incredibly hard over the past seven years for everything they’ve achieved and they’re excited about the next chapter.

My Dinosaur Life Track Listing:
1.      Worker Bee
2.      A Lifeless Ordinary (Need A Little Help)
3.      Her Words Destroyed My Planet
4.      Disappear
5.      Delirium
6.      History Lesson
7.      Stand Too Close
8.      Pulp Fiction
9.      @!#?@!
10.  Hysteria
11.  Skin And Bones
12.  The Weakends
