PRESS RELEASE: Rockets To
Ruin signs distribution deal with Alabama Records in Scandinavia
Stockholm, Sweden, February 19, 2007
Alabama Records are very proud to announce the signing of American hard
rock band Rockets To Ruin for an exclusive Scandinavian release of their
debut album Love Drugs Rebellion on April 9, 2007.
Produced by Rachel Bolan (Skid Row), Rockets To Ruin's raw, uncompromising sound
slaps conformity in the face, reaching out to a generation lusting after the
glory days of rock n' roll. Loud, energetic and fun is their approach to song
writing. Energy, attitude, sweat, and sleaze are their approach to the stage.
They don't believe their lives are bad or that life is unfair. Instead, they
believe in KISS, Guns N' Roses, Mötley Crüe, The Ramones, The Cult and the power
of rock n' roll…and it shows! With a non-stop buzz developing in the South
Eastern United States, Rockets To Ruin has made its mark on fans of this music
and the numbers are growing daily.
Rockets To Ruin recently supported Paul Stanley (Kiss) on the Southeast leg of
his solo tour in the U.S. and will soon embark on a few dates with Jason
McMaster (ex Dangerous Toys) and his new band Broken Teeth.
Rockets To Ruin have previously toured with Skid Row, King's X, Nashville Pussy
and have opened for such bands as Georgia Satellites, Josh Todd of Buckcherry
and Dark New Day to name but a few.
"Mark my words, in the very near future Rockets To Ruin will be a household
name," states singer Cleveland Willis.
RTR has been selected to perform at the Atlantis Music Conference (Atlanta, GA)
2004, 2005 & 2006, the Midwest Music Conference (Indianapolis, IN) 2005, the
NASCAR Firecracker 200 (sponsored by 99X), the NOPI Nationals @ Atlanta Motor
Speedway, 2005 & 2006.
The signing with Swedish label Alabama Records marks the first step towards the
European market for Rockets To Ruin.
