ANOTHER ANIMAL: More Preview Tracks Available
October 11, 2007Four more preview tracks from ANOTHER ANIMAL — the band featuring GODSMACK members Tony Rombola on guitar, Robbie Merrill on bass and Shannon Larkin on drums — are available for streaming at Clear Channel Music. The new outfit also includes original GODSMACK guitarist Lee Richards and former UGLY KID JOE frontman Whitfield Crane. Larkin told The Pulse of Radio that he personally wanted to bring Crane into the band to repay him for giving Larkin a job with UGLY KID JOE during the peak of that band's success. "He took me out of one of the darkest places in my life, when I was ready to just quit the music business," he said. "Well, Whit was in his own dark place, so I got to call him and say, 'Dude, guess what? I have this side project, so I'm offering you a chance now to be back on a major label and get your voice on the radio again. I was able to return a favor that was life-changing for me."
ANOTHER ANIMAL's self-titled debut disc sold 3,400 copies in the United States in its first week of release.
ANOTHER ANIMAL is currently on tour with labelmates ALTER BRIDGE.
The first single from ANOTHER ANIMAL's album is called "Broken Again".
GODSMACK will celebrate its 10th anniversary later this year with a greatest-hits collection and possibly some acoustic shows, after which the quartet will take an extended hiatus. The hits package is slated to include at least one previously unheard recording, a cover of LED ZEPPELIN's "Good Times, Bad Times".
