ENUFF Z’NUFF
‘Dissonance’
CANDYMAN001
THEY SAY THAT when the going gets tough the tough get going. It’s an old adage that could be applied to numerous rock bands who refuse to die, but for Enuff Z’Nuff it’s become, more or less, a battle code. In fact it’s a maxim that that they’ve lived by since day one of their inception. ‘Dissonance’ is a record full of all things sugar and spice with a sound and swagger that continues in the finest EZN tradition of razor sharp riffs and melodies to die for. The great thing about core duo Donnie Vie and Chip Z’Nuff is that they instinctively know how to inject both the maximum amount of muscle into every riff and squeeze the best out of every chorus. If you don’t believe it then plug-in and play tracks such as the title song ‘Dissonance’, ‘Lazy Dazy’, ‘Code Red’, ‘High’ and the beautiful ballad ‘Roll Away’. All Prime EZN with all the grand musical accoutrements you would reasonably expect. And, as a special treat, the album contains two additional bonus tracks not available on the Japanese release.
Their creative resurgence is further enhanced by the recent appointment of European booking Agent X-Ray Touring and festival appearances throughout the summer – including Download - plus a planned full European headlining club tour later this year and an appearance at Hard Rock Hell in December.
Track listing: 1. Dissonance 2. Fine Line 3. Lazy Dazy 4. Rollaway 5. High 6. Altered States 7. Playground 8. Sometimes 9. Joni Lynn 10. Chicago 11. Code Red (Bonus track - Studio Outtake) 12. When Doves Cry 13. Run For Your Life (Bonus track - Studio Outtake)

LITTLE CAESAR
‘Redemption’
CANDYMAN002
TWENTY YEARS AGO if you were an MTV devotee - and let’s face it most of us were - you’d have had your senses assaulted by blasts of soulful hard rock from Little Caesar, a tatted-up bunch of lean ‘n’ mean biker boys from Los Angeles. They stood out a mile from the big haired, lipstick smeared glam contingency displaying a complete disregard for fads and fashion (always a sign of quality) which was proven by a cool-as-a-cucumber cover of ‘Chain Of Fools’, a sixties r ‘n’b classic made popular by Aretha Franklin. It was a convincing performance alright, separating the men from the boys by virtue of its pulsating energy and vocalist Ron Young’s gargantuan vocal delivery.
In 2010, Little Caesar can be found moving forward with a vengeance. The band has crafted a new album, titled ‘Redemption’, a record full of vim and vinegar. Going back to their roots – not that they ever left them – the emphasis is on tough-guy riffs, blues soaked vocals and the sort of earthy vibe that suggests men on one hell of a mission. This is soulful blues-rock that defies compartmentalization and conjures up images of packed clubs, sweat soaked walls and determination beyond the call of duty.
Little Caesar is Ron Young (vocals), Loren Molinare and Joey Brasler (guitars), Fidel Paniagua (bass) and Tom Morris (drums).
Look out for European performances later in the year.
Track listing: 1) Same Old Story 2) Supersonic 3) Loving You Is Killing Me 4) Witness Stand 5) Redemption 6) Sick And Tired 7) Real Rock Drive 8) That Was Yesterday 9) Every Picture Tells A Story/ Happy 10) Woodstock 11) Just Like A Woman
‘Redemption’ is released on Rock Candy Records July 19th 2010
