TROUBLE drummer Jeff "Oly" Olson has launched a solo project called RETRO GRAVE. Three new recordings from the band — "Retro Grave", "Kid Ignoble" and "Stone Head" — are available for streaming via the RETRO GRAVEMySpace page.

Oly is currently scheduling drum clinics throughout the U.S. for later in 2007 and throughout 2008 while writing and recording the as-yet-untitled debut from RETRO GRAVE. Oly is also working on his first instructional drumming DVD.

Escapi Music has pushed back the projected North American release date of the new TROUBLE album, "Simple Mind Condition", to June (the CD is already available in Europe).

The follow-up to 1995's "Plastic Green Head", "Simple Mind Condition" was produced by Vinny Wojno (KREATOR, MACHINE HEAD) and features vocalist Eric Wagner, guitarists Rick Wartell and Bruce Franklin, drummer Jeff Olson and bassist Chuck Robinson (formerly of THIS TORTURED SOUL).

Escapi Music reissued TROUBLE's classic first two albums, "Psalm 9" (1984) and "The Skull" (1985),on October 24, 2006. Both were digitally remastered and are packed with rare photos and brand new liner notes. "Psalm 9" includes an extremely rare exclusive bonus DVD of a public-access TV performance from 1982. [Watch a sample of the 1982 TV performance at YouTube.] "The Skull" comes with an extremely rare exclusive bonus DVD of a 16-track live performance from 1984.
