WHIPLASH Frontman Releases First-Ever Solo Single

October 19, 2010

Tony Portaro, founding member of the veteran New Jersey power trio WHIPLASH has released his first-ever solo single entitled "Thrashing Halloween" via the TuneCore digital music distribution service. The track was written, performed, arranged, engineered and produced by Portaro at his Concrete Island Recording Studio and is currently available at Amazon.com.

Check out a sample clip at the official WHIPLASHMySpace page.

WHIPLASH recently parted ways with Pulverised Records, the Singaporean label that released the band's 2009 album, "Unborn Again". The group is currently writing new material and preparing to hit the road in March 2011.

"Unborn Again" was recorded at Mozart Studio with Harris Johns. The band mixed and mastered the album at Spiderhouse Studio. The cover artwork was created by Ed Repka (DEATH, ATHEIST, MEGADETH, NUCLEAR ASSAULT, POSSESSED).

WHIPLASH is a three-piece power trio hailing from New Jersey. The band was assembled back in 1984 when Tony Portaro (guitar, vocals) and Tony Scaglione (drums) joined forces, recruited Tony Bono on bass and released their first CD, "Power and Pain", in 1985 on Roadrunner Records. The debut CD was followed up by their first live performance at Ruthie's in Berkley, California with POSSESSED and DEATH ANGEL.

WHIPLASH's current lineup:

Tony Portaro - Guitar/Vocals
Joe Cangelosi (ex-KREATOR) - Drums
Rich Day Bass (ex-PRIMAL SCREAM) - Bass
