THE POODLES To Release 'No Quarter' CD, 'In The Flesh' DVD

Frontiers Records has set a November 5 European release date for the "No Quarter" CD and "In The Flesh" DVD from Swedish heard rockers THE POODLES.

Having developed a reputation as first-class entertainers with the release of three acclaimed studio albums and over 350 shows in Europe in the past few years, not counting gold and platinum record awards in their home country, THE POODLES close the first chapter of their musical adventure and set their sails for the next step.

As a tribute to the first years on the road, THE POODLES are offering their fans a live package — including a CD and a DVD — recorded during the "Clash Of The Elements" tour in 2009.

"The high point for us as a band is any time we go on stage," says guitar player Henrik Bergqvist. "This may sound like somewhat of a cliché, but it is no less true. It doesn't matter if we play a crowd of 10,000 people at Graspop or in front of a handful on a rainy November Monday in Copenhagen, those are the moments we relish and live for. We've had so many special moments on stage over the past couple of years that it seems impossible to single even a few of them out. Having said this, some special moments can certainly be seen on the live DVD and heard on the live CD."

"We are very proud of how the live CD and live DVD turned out and we feel that they really shows what the band is like on stage," continues Bergqvist. "Being able to watch a DVD of your favorite band is great and there are a few really nice ones out there, but the connection that takes place between the band and the crowd during live shows cannot be formatted to the screen. You can catch a glimpse of it, but to experience a band live will always be different from listening to or viewing a recording of that band. Have a look and see for yourselves, though!"

Aptly titled "In The Flesh", the DVD is an in-depth look at THE POODLES, featuring interviews with all bandmembers, behind-the stage footage and promotional clips for the "Clash Of The Elements" album. The live CD, plus the previously unreleased song "Lullaby For Jimmy" as a CD exclusive, shows that behind the look and the words there is a solid band playing great music!

Henrik concludes: "The future plans for THE POODLES is closely connected to the band's cooperation with Frontiers Records. The band expects to play for an ever-expanding audience as a result of it and take the mission of heavy metal to virgin lands. We want to see our beloved fans again on the road and make new friends too. The future is bright for us, and that's good because we already wear shades!"
