POWERMAN 5000 Almost Done Recording; New Lineup Revealed

February 15, 2005

POWERMAN 5000 frontman Spider One has posted the following message on the group's official message board:

"O.K., so here's a long overdue update. First off, the new record is just about done. We still have to track a bit more and then mix, but I'm pretty sure we are done writing. Although who knows... No official release date yet, because we are exploring all the options in terms of getting this thing into your grubby little hands.

"What is it going to sound like? Well, let's just say if you like calculated, bloated HOOBASTANK ballads or radio friendly nu metal or over-produced, auto-tuned, cookie-cutter rock, then you will hate the new POWERMAN 5000 record. Now, I'm NOT going to say the standard bullshit like, 'This is our heaviest, most brutal record yet.' That's so boring and predictable. Not to mention, not true. I will say that, this record is raw and real.

"My goal on this one was to put together a bunch of songs that were meant to be played live. The kind of songs you could jam on with your friends in a garage band. I don't know, it is what it is. Rock 'n roll, punk rock, metal, whatever... it's PM5K. I'm digging it!!!

"We are getting back on the road soon. I'm sure most of you have seen a handful of West Coast gigs popping up. There will be more to come. We will be touring a little differently this year. Instead of long drawn out runs, we will be doing shorter regional blasts. So, we will be hitting the East and the Midwest and the South. Just not right in a row. We will let you know when all dates are confirmed.

"Who the fuck can you expect to see on stage?! With the revolving door in this band, sometimes I'm not even sure myself. I'm pretty certain I'll be there. Mr. 7 and Siggy will be there. Adam, sadly, will not be joining us for this run of West Coast dates. He is active in the writing and recording of the new record, but is opting out of the live performance end of things (atleast right now). Hitting the stage on guitar will be ex-ALIEN ANT FARM guitarist Terry Corso and ex HALFCOCKED guitarist Johnny Rock. I must tell you the rehearsals with these guys have been blazing!!

"As I always say, 'don't be afraid of the future'...

"Well, that's enough for you to chew on for now. THANX for being the coolest fans around, see you on the road."
