AMERICAN HEAD CHARGE: Quality Whisky A Go Go Footage Available

January 30, 2012

Quality video footage of the reformed Minneapolis, Minnesota-based hard-rock/industrial act AMERICAN HEAD CHARGE performing on January 24 at Whisky A Go Go in West Hollywood, California can be seen below.

Having survived severe addictions, countless tours, the major label minefield, and the death of guitarist Bryan Ottoson, AMERICAN HEAD CHARGE has returned to create new music and decimate crowds across the globe. Following the 2007 deactivation of the band (due to reasons that aren't terribly interesting),the classic lineup of vocalist Cameron Heacock, bassist Chad Hanks, keyboard player Justin Fowler, drummer Chris Emery and guitarist Karma Cheema is back! To solidify their return, they've added guitarist (and MINISTRY/LORDS OF ACID alumni) Sin Quirin to round out the lineup.

AMERICAN HEAD CHARGE entered Studio D in Cleveland, Ohio on October 24, 2011 with producers Don Dibiase and Thom Hazaert to begin recording its first new material since 2005's "The Feeding". The result of the 24-hour marathon session was a new studio track "Sugars of Someday" and a "live" EP including three new AMERICAN HEAD CHARGE tracks: "Sand", "Set Yourself on Fire", "Writhe" and a cover of the PATTI SMITH classic "Rock And Roll Nigger". These 5 songs are currently being mixed for an upcoming EP release.

AMERICAN HEAD CHARGE 2012 is:

Cameron Heacock - Vocals
Chad Hanks - Bass
Justin Fowler - Keyboards, Backing vocals
Karma Singh Cheema - Guitar
Christopher Emery - Drums
Sin Quirin (MINISTRY, LORDS OF ACID) - Guitar

AMERICAN HEAD CHARGE announced in August 2009 that it was disbanding due to Heacock's "inability to continue on a musical career path."

The band's sophomore album, "The Feeding", came out in February 2005.

AMERICAN HEAD CHARGE released a DVD/CD entitled "Can't Stop the Machine" in April 2007 on Nitrus Records via Fontana/Universal. The 90-minute DVD chronicled HEAD CHARGE's career with a poignant tribute to deceased guitarist Bryan Ottoson, insightful interviews and no holds barred live footage. The companion CD featured unreleased tracks and a remix of the HEAD CHARGE classic "Just So You Know" by Wired All Wrong.
