New product Launch!!!

Elvis Aaron Presley, in the humblest of circumstances, was born to Vernon and Gladys Presley in a two-room house in Tupelo, Mississippi on January 8, 1935. His twin brother, Jessie Garon, was stillborn, leaving Elvis to grow up as an only child. He and his parents moved to Memphis, Tennessee in 1948, and Elvis graduated from Humes High School there in 1953.

Elvis’ musical influences were the pop and country music of the time, the gospel music he heard in church and at the all-night gospel sings he frequently attended, and the black R&B he absorbed on historic Beale Street as a Memphis teenager. In 1954, he began his singing career with the legendary Sun Records label in Memphis. In late 1955, his recording contract was sold to RCA Victor. By 1956, he was an international sensation. With a sound and style that uniquely combined his diverse musical influences and blurred and challenged the social and racial barriers of the time, he ushered in a whole new era of American music and popular culture.

Overview: What do you get when your major label debut goes platinum? Why the opportunity to record a second album, that’s what. Armed with the shiny, framed version of ‘Man Mows Lawn‘, excuse me, their eponymous debut, Trapt was studio bound again. Enter summer 2005, when Trapt’s new single “Stand Up” hit the airwaves, the first single from Warner Bros. album numero dos, entitled ‘Someone in Control‘. Its September 05 release date came and went unceremoniously, and despite the chart success of “Stand Up” and a heralded fall headlining tour, Trapt found themselves “disconnected” from their duties with Warner Bros. Records. So what does a band do now? Why they put out a live album, that’s what. And so Trapt recorded a set, added a couple of hot, brand new cuts for good measure, and won over Eleven Seven Records, who released the aptly titled ‘Trapt Live!‘ in September 2007. So what does Trapt do for an encore? Why they track an entire new record, that’s what. The band played tease for much of 2008, leaking bits and pieces of the album onto the interweb to get ‘em all salivating in anticipation. But the time has come to unveil the latest Trapt concoction, a brew they call ‘Only Through the Pain‘. Listen for first single “Who’s Going Home With You Tonight” on rock radio and catch the band on this summer’s Cruefest (but make sure your Hepatitis C vaccinations are up to date beforehand, of course).

Daron Malakian wants to make something perfectly clear. Scars on Broadway is not some “side project” he’s doing until he and the rest of System of a Down get back together. The former SOAD guitarist is completely serious about his new band and all that goes along with it. Which includes a debut album, (which is released July 29th), and an upcoming tour, that will embark soon after the record’s release.

According to Malakian, this record is an evolution from where he left off with SOAD, and he hopes a lot his diverse musical influences (The Beatles, Van Halen, Slayer and Sex Pistols just to name a few) can be heard throughout. Scars debut has everything from punk, classic rock, and the ever present Middle Eastern influence as well.

John Dolmayan (SOAD) is on board as the drummer, which Malakian is pleased about because of the history they share. But aside from that, everything else about Scars on Broadway is fresh and brand new. Malakian recently stated “Sometimes we tell people, We’re Scars on Broadway.” ‘And they’re like, ‘Oh I never heard of it.’ Which is fine with him.
