SPIDERS & SNAKES To Release 'Melodrama' In November

September 27, 2007

Los Angeles glam rock icons SPIDERS & SNAKES are set to release their eighth studio album, "Melodrama", on November 6 through Corporate Punishment Records (distributed by Koch Entertainment).

Corporate Punishment Records founder Thom Hazaert contacted the band directly through their web site and ensuing conversations led to a deal which would see Corporate Punishment releasing not one, but THREE albums by the notorious Hollywood rockers! (Reissues of "London Daze" and "Hollywood Ghosts" are also included in the deal).

"We are extremely proud to be affiliated with a band like SPIDERS & SNAKES," said Thom Hazaert. "Lizzie Grey is one of the true unsung Godfathers of modern hard rock, and an incredible talent, as well as a true inspiration as one of those rare people who TRULY makes music because he loves to. And while it's a little left field of the usual CPR release(s),SPIDERS & SNAKES has made a 15-year career out of releasing brilliant, pure records, solely for the love of their craft, and it's definitely an honor to be a part of that."

The twelve tracks on offer highlight the band's affinity for '70s glam rock indulgence and his knack for writing hooks as wide as the Atlantic Ocean. Featuring a stunning cover of the BAY CITY ROLLERS' classic "Yesterday's Hero" (sung by drummer Timothy Jay),and highlighting Sluggo (of OINGO BOINGO fame) on a terrific saxophone solo, "Melodrama" also sees SPIDERS & SNAKES covering themselves with "Fear Of Flying" which originally appeared on the band's 1992 release "Arachno II", with rewritten lyrics by SPIDERS & SNAKES co-founder Jay, The band has written a wealth of material for the new album, including tracks such as the CHEAP TRICK-inspired "Shoot Me Down" (written and sung by bassist Phil St. Vincent),the in-your-face hard rocker "Kicks", and the melancholic ballad "Another Lonely Day".

With the release of "Melodrama", SPIDERS & SNAKES will be taking the new album to the masses with touring planned both on domestic ground as well as throughout the European territories in 2007 and 2008.
