IT BITES Signs With INSIDEOUT MUSIC

September 3, 2008

InsideOut Music has announced the signing of the British band IT BITES. The group's new studio album, "The Tall Ships", will be released on September 29.

IT BITES formed in Cumbria in the early 1980s and achieved chart success in 1986 with its top 10 UK hit single "Calling All The Heroes". The band released three albums on Virgin Records — "Big Lad In The Windmill" (1986),"Once Around The World" (1998) and "Eat Me In St. Louis" (1989) — before the band broke up following the departure of their original frontman Francis Dunnery.

Nearly 20 years later, and to meet considerable public demand, the three remaining band members — John Beck (keyboards),Bob Dalton (drums),and Dick Nolan (bass) — decided to reunite, along with new vocalist/guitarist John Mitchell, a well-respected guitarist and songwriter as well as a lifelong fan of the band.

The newly reformed IT BITES completed a successful tour of the UK at the end of 2006, which was followed by the release of a live album from the tour, "When The Lights Go Down", which features both old classics as well as previewing a number of new songs.

IT BITES will be touring across Europe in September and October 2008, with new bass player Lee Pomeroy.
