Dig your teeth into rocking news, releases, and more as we approach the holiday season-some of which reflect on the past to help in a time of tragedy, some reveal new directions, and others just rock the house, plain and simple.
Stone Temple Pilots Launch a Supportive “Revolution”
Getting inside the Stone Temple Pilot’s camp has never been so easy. They have recorded and produced an acclaimed version of The Beatles' song "Revolution" to help a national cause. Royalties and profits from the sale of the single will go to benefit the Twin Towers Fund, which provides assistance to victims and families of the World Trade Center disaster. The benefit single also treats fans to a behind-the-scenes peek at footage of the recording session. Arriving in stores on November 27, the Enhanced CD Single is a sure-fire winner for fans of STP, and will aide millions. For more information go to the STP web site…

“Bush” Creates a Golden State, while Following the Speed Limit
Bush's new album, Golden State, marks the band’s return in true rock manner. The first single off the Brit-band's long-awaited CD The People That We Love is a rock radio hit placing #10, and still climbing, on Billboard's “Mainstream Rock” chart. For that ditty lead singer Gavin Rossdale writes about the large number of car accidents in the U.S. every year; ranting the lyrics “speed kills.” For Golden State the London-bred band returns to their brand of edgy, guitar rock. Bush is currently touring Europe after which they’ll head to the U.S. and Canada for the new year.
