THE AUDIO CARTEL Recording New Material

February 11, 2008

THE AUDIO CARTEL — the new band featuring Michael Schenker's (UFO, MSG) son Tyson and Ian Hunter's (MOTT THE HOOPLE) son Jesse — is currently recording two new songs, which the band hopes to post on its MySpace page soon. According to Schenker, "the guitars and drums are recorded and hopefully this week the bass and vocals will be done. They are sounding great!"

He added, "We are getting together early March in New York City for some more writing and recording and to sort out future plans for THE AUDIO CARTEL."

Lifelong friends at opposite ends of the Atlantic Ocean, Tyson and Jesse decided it was time to start a band together. They started writing in Brooklyn, New York in January 2007 with Jesse's longtime drummer Justin Freeman. Three songs were written, and two were finalized with the help of Rick Tedesco from the Guitar Hangar, who recorded and produced them in his studio in Brookfield, CT.

Check out audio samples on the group's MySpace page.

Tyson Schenker's most recent project, FASTER INFERNO (formerly RAIDERS OF ROCK N' ROLL),called it quits in November 2006.
