> INTRODUCING BATRACERS' BIG CASH
Regardless of the passage of time, classic rock and roll finds a way to make it to the surface. Sounding as fresh as the day they filled that Memphis recording studio with their inspired musicianship, the BatRacers are setting a new standard in progressive rock with their own brand of technicality and execution. Big words for a big sound.
One listen to the music explains more than words can tell. All we can say is "they're back!" and the message is clear. Ready or not, the world is gonna make room for the BatRacers
Track list: 01. Big Cash, 02. She Might Be, 03. Pull The Trigger, 04. All The Same, 05. Shayron, 06. I Thank You
> CEMETERY SUPERFLY - GHOST IN THE RADIO
The band started in 1994 making experimental "noise." Gradually the noise started to sound more like music and a drummer was added to the mix. Now, over ten years later, this band is still creating the most original music you will ever hear; it keeps getting better yet remains true to the spontaneous originality of their former selves.
With the addition of ex-Condition Blue guitarist Brendan Flaherty, drummer/vocalist Andy Gulinello and their new drummer Evan Gianoulis, Cemetery Superfly's new full length album entitled No Commercial Potential was placed on the ballot for the 2010 Grammy Awards in four categories!
The first single from the album (a catchy, hard-edged rocker titled 'Medicine Man') has already been chosen to be on a major motion picture soundtrack, has been published by U.K. based label Urban Angel Music, and has been released worldwide on a compilation called Rock City available in stores nationwide and for download on iTunes and Napster!
Continuing on their journey of creating melodic, experimental, hard rock, Cemetery Superfly has recorded what critics are saying is their best material to date with their latest release titled Ghost In The Radio. This 6-song EP delivers blow after blow of edgy, blistering, supersonic rock and is on the way to becoming one of the best albums released this year!
Track list: 01. World Without End (Part 1), 02. Fireflys, 03. Mad Woman, 04. World Without End (Part II), 05. What Will Be 06. World Without End (Reprise)

> NEW STAN BUSH
Stan Bush is completing the writing sessions for his brand new album together with his usual songwriting partner Holger Fath.
“It's turning out to be a great album!” says Stan. “I was concerned that In This Life would be a tough album to follow, but the new one is turning out even better!”
Some of the songs that Stan has lined up for the inclusion in the final tracklisting include the album title track 'Dream The Dream', 'All That I Am', 'Two Hearts' and 'Don’t Give Up On Love'. Frontiers Records hopes to release the new CD by August 2010.
