26th May 2003 WILD HORSES SET FOR JULY: The long awaited second album
from LA Rockers WILD HORSES is now completed. It's not often that a
band betters their debut effort but The album title has yet to
be decided, however Rick Steier [Kingdom Come, Warrant] took time out
to give us a track by track run down of 1) Can't Get By - Guy can't make it without his chick. Early "Who" sound. 2) What's This Thing Called Love? Confused guy with a "Van Halen/Motley" sound bed. 3) California Freedom - A fine line between freedom and slavery in the golden state. 4) Never Goin' Home - Life sucks back home, Keep me on the road. Up tempo thrasher. 5) Ridin' on - Free spirit on the open road. Early "Allman Bros" feel. 6) Rebel Road - Guy tells love story about holding on to youth and dreams in a "80's" power ballad. 7) Live it and Give - You got to live the life, to talk and sing about! Straight ahead heavy rocker. 8) When Will it End? - When you can never say no to a party. Heavy. 9) Asphalt Ribbon Fever - Taking aggression with you on the open road. Frenzied rock & roll 10) Vancouver Mover - Takin' it all in at the local strip club! Rock On!! 11) Cradle to the Grave - Story of those born with terminal diseases (aids,etc.) The only real serious track on the CD. 12) What's Love All About? - Guy in song 2 gets fucked again! Punky. further news concerning the scheduled release in July will be posted soon Modern rock act MADISON PAIGE are proud to announce that veteran producer/mixer John Hanlon (The Offspring, Pearl Jam, Night Ranger, Neil Young) will be mixing the Los Angeles-based quartet's highly anticipated debut album, Famous Last Words. "We feel privileged that someone of John's caliber and background is willing to take on the project," comments drummer Richie Rivera. "The man has a pair of golden ears and as a result the songs are leaving our expectations in the dust!" Funded entirely by pre-orders from a die-hard following that spans the globe, the thirteen-song modern melodic hard rock opus seamlessly alternates between arena anthems and atmospheric epics, all bound together with thought-provoking lyrics that serve as both a condemnation and a celebration of the human condition. "Fans of everything from Bon Jovi to Stone Temple Pilots to Dream Theater will find a lot to like on this album," chimes in guitarist Damon Valley, who, along with vocalist Paul Caroul and new bassist Will Arkosy, rounds out the band's lineup. Confirmed for inclusion are: "Bind," "Hold Me Over," "The One That Got Away," "Stay This Way," "Next To You," "Nothing Denied," "Any Day Now," (which received local airplay even in its demo form), "Fear And Storm Unite," "Breakin' My Heart," "Only She Knows," "Heaven In Hand," "When I'm Gone," and "Restrained."

NOW AND THEN News XOCH XOCH, whose name means "the goddess of flower and song," is a focused and determined individual, whose life ambition is to impact the world at large with her professional attitude, strong work ethic, universal message, and her distinct sense of style. With a commanding stage presence, up-front and honest vocals, and a look that is bound to turn heads, this dynamic and powerful woman in her early 20's is a refreshing blend of humanity and divinity, part sexual, part mystery, with a unique outlook on life. "I like to stand out and be different than everyone else. I really enjoy being an individual. It takes a lot of inner strength and wisdom to just be yourself. I'm cool with who I am." Equally adept at both the quiet, intimate setting of an acoustic show or a balls-out electric concert with her five piece rock band, XOCH thrives on live performance. She has shared stages with many successful national acts, from female rock innovator Pat Benatar, to modern rock sensations Lit. Here is what the media has
had to say about the album already - "The songs on The One range from uptempo Cheap Trick style rockers, to a less aggressive, but similarly styled Avril Lavigne type tracks, to simple feel good pop." Melodicrock.com "Hyper cacthy modern
pop that will put you in the mindset of Avril Lavigne and Pink. As much
as I avoid female fronted rock, there are always exceptions...this is
certainly one." KurtTorster. ""Currently causing
a stir ... is female artist XOCH, who could well be the next media darling
a la Avril Lavigne. Xoch certainly has the potential to propel herself
into the same spotlight". Rob Evans. A European release date for the product will be announced soon. NEXX
