SGT. ROXX & DR. GRIND SET WREAK HAVOK ONCE AGAIN:
Sgt. Roxx - Weapon of Miss Distraction
Sgt. Roxx "Weapon of Miss Distraction" - 1990, the Chicago Rock Scene was drunk on Metal and fast becoming a major breeding ground for new bands on the rise. Sgt. Roxx had arrived and everyone took notice including every major label! There was a little hint of every major influence of the time from the full-bodied meshing of guitars of Lillian Axe, the dangerous and dirty edge of Ratt, to the dripping sleaze of Motley Crue. Their sound took from everything and imitated no one, becoming something entirely unique, delivering something special and different to everyone that listened, and many did and still do.
"Weapon of Miss Distraction" features19 of the rarest recordings by one of the most coveted "Hair Metal" bands in the world. This release includes re-mastered versions of 1990's "Push N Squeeze," which fetches as much as $400 an auction on eBay, as well as 14 other never before heard archived recordings; including the rare demo sessions for CBS Records and live recordings from the infamous Gateway Theater.
1. All You Need 2. Why'd You Lie 3. Movin' On 4. Push & Squeeze 5. Million Dollar Girls 6. Wrap Yourself 7. Don't Cry (Full Band) 8. Decisions 9. Alright 10. Rockin' Horse 11. Love Affair 12. Without You 13. Thinkin' Of You 14. Ransom
15. (Don't Do) What Your Mama Sayz 16. I Don't Know 17. Psycho In The House (Live) 18. My Lady (Live) 19. Bread & Water.
Dr. Grind - Speechless
Dr. Grind "Speechless" - In 1991, living in the heart of "The Grunge Capital," Seattle, WA, DR. GRIND landed its first show in Ballard, WA at the infamous "Ballard Firehouse." This show led to an utter explosion of new found popularity, an abundance of shows, and a grueling tour schedule throughout the West Coast and the United States. Their debut, "Speechless" was recorded at Full-Voice Audio in Seattle, with late, legendary producer Maverick Gibson and mixed by Lou Michael's at Paramount Studios in Hollywood, California.
Dual guitars, fast and intricate with crushing riffs and off-time beats; leaving an indelible impression; McCabe, provides the finest drumming to be found anywhere; the bass work is excellent and Allen at his best sounds menacing, angry, brutal, and melodic, often in the same line. This is one of the most complete, stunning releases in metal. Dr. Grind's "Speechless" is a force to be reckoned with.
1. Call Of The Wild 2. Calamity 3. Livin' A Lie 4. Shotgun 5. Speechless 6. Janie 7. Follow Your Own Road 8. Faces 9. Tears 10. Love Will Find A Way 11. Gone 12. Here And Gone 13. Something To Come 14. Time Will Tell 15. Can't Get Enough 16. Huge Wad 17. Whiskey Lover

EONIAN RECORDS PRESENTS FELONY & STRIKE TWICE
FELONY
In an era where many "great" artistic wells seem to be starting to run dry, FELONY bursts out of the proverbial rock'n'roll gate like thoroughbred race horses from hell. The proverbial torch-bearers of the Midwest metal scene, this powerhouse dates back to 1989 and the second great sexual revolution of our culture. ‘Helltown Hotel’ documents plenty of attitude and gives us an unobstructed view of the evolution of Felony from their earlier no-frills metal sound, with songs like the blood-pumping ‘Yank That Chain’ to songs like ‘To The Core’ which chronicle the darker, heavier version of the later day.
Representing their unbridled lifestyle and way of performing, the term “Helltown” has become synonymous with all things that are FELONY. 1. Cat Daddy 2. Dancin’ On My Grave 3. Heist In Helltown 4. Street Fight 6. Well of Souls 7. To the Core 8. Lost In The Closet 9. Yank That Chain 10. Days of Disease 11. Another Hero 12. F.I.T.H. 13. Shake The Faith 14. Heist In Helltown ’93 15. Heist in Helltown (Live) 16. Mississippi Rollin’ 17. Shattered Innocence
STRIKE TWICE
STRIKE TWICE was created by vocalist Michael Hayes and guitarist Rob Luv, two guys with a love in their hearts and souls for hot-blooded hard rock. Fate smiled kindly on them during the 80’s metal revolution as they packed out clubs everywhere they went. Their tight, sleaze-fueled sound and debauchery-drenched stage show struck a chord with fans everywhere. Their music was powerful and precise, their songs designed to deliver hook-heavy entertainment. STRIKE TWICE played their music displaying a killer knack for crafting punchy, high-energy hard rock songs that drip with streetwise swagger and bad boy shock factor.
Never settling for second best, STRIKE TWICE gave it all they had, a well-oiled hair metal machine that delivered the goods to hungry hard rockers. With ripping tunes like "Tango," "D.F.W.M.," and "Undress Me," STRIKE TWICE proves beyond any doubt that they possess that indefinable hard rock magic that is still as relevant today as it was in the late 80’s and early 90’s!
1. Tuff Luck 2. Intoxication 3. Never Let Go 4. Get It 5. Dirty Lover 6. One Night With You 7. Undress Me 8. Wake Up Cryin' 9. Tango 10. D.F.W.M 11. Back Door Both releases will be available
TUESDAY, August 25th at nearly every online music store that sells true rock-n-roll, as well as in the “Rock Shop” at: www.EonianRecords.com. Also, THANK YOU to all of you music fans who purchased SHAKE CITY and UZI! Eonian Records sold out of these two titles in just the first week and both CD’s have been top sellers at many online retailers world-wide!
Indianapolis, IN - JULY 20, 2009
EONIAN RECORDS UNLEASHES SHAKE CITY & UZI
Eonian Records, the world’s new premier archive label is pleased to announce two new July releases:
SHAKE CITY “Self-Titled” and UZI “Madhouse”
both available July 20th.
SHAKE CITY
SHAKE CITY features twelve sleazy, ear candy tracks produced By: Erik Turner of Warrant & Tommy Thayer formally of Black N’ Blue / currently of KISS; featuring “Game of War” written by Jani Lane formerly of Warrant. This is the album music fans have been screaming for over 20 years! According to the band, all they ever wanted to do was satisfy music fans by serving up the kind of songs that made you pump your fist and shout, “Hell yeah, that f**kin’ rocks!”
The new SHAKE CITY release on Eonian Records is simply amazing, the sound quality is perfection and the tunes, the tunes blew me away! Songs like “Hot Love,” “Psychedelic Ride,” “Submarine,” and “Get It While It’s Hot” have those great hooks that are missing in music today. This one is an exceptional release! Do yourself a HUGE favor and add SHAKE CITY to your collection! 4 ½ Stars out of 5
~ Brian Rademacher CEO of RockEyez.com
1. One Good Reason 2. Hot Love 3. Betty Blue 4. Get It While It’s Hot 5. Submarine 6. Little Lianne 7. Lust & Love 8. Psychedelic Ride 9. Sweet Dreams 10. Can’t Get Over You 11. Game of War 12. Bad on Wheels
UZI
UZI was influenced by the metal rock wave ridden by bands like AC/DC and Motley Crue. Their debut, a collection full of razor guitars, piston-powered drums, and sleazy-pop hooks, displays ten extraordinary songs unleashing a barrage of swagger. "American Dream" and "Rocker" are soon to be classic metal anthems. Title track "Madhouse," arguably the album's best song, will raise blood pressure after just one listen. "Away From My Heart," one the band's strongest songs, undoubtedly rivals any rocker ballad by GNR, Motley Crue, or Skid Row.
"WOW ...is the first word that came to mind when I heard UZI's "Madhouse" release from Eonian Records. This release is reminiscent of Sebastian Bach-era Skid Row! If you're looking for in your face rock n' roll with a heavier edge, you owe it to yourself to add this to your collection without wasting another precious moment!
~ Andrew Babcock, Hair Metal Mansion
1. Madhouse 2. American Dream 3. Mutha's Knockin' 4. Rocker 5. Do What I Do 6. Away From My Heart 7. Raise Hell 8. From the Gutter 9. Wreckerd Man 10. For the Money
Both releases also feature the stellar graphic design art from Suicide Graphix and will not disappoint. SHAKE CITY “Self-Titled” and UZI “Madhouse” is now both available at any store that sells TRUE Hard Rock and Metal.

Fine-Tuning for a Rockin’ 2009; Eonian Records Announces Signings
Since opening their doors on July 4th, 2008, Eonian Records has become synonymous with some of the highest quality hard rock and metal music in the world. Busy building on its new found reputation; Eonian Records has recently become the home of several musical icons of Chicago's legendary music club The Thirsty Whale, including Dear Diary, Gynger Lynn, Pistol Dawn, Sgt. Roxx, Sweet Sybil, and UZI.
One of Eonian Records most noteworthy signings comes from the Seattle metal scene, Dr. Grind. In the heart of the grunge movement storms a combination of power resembling Queensryche and the melodic metal behind Dokken. Dr. Grind's "Speechless" release is a striking collection of the charismatic hook-line-and-sinker choruses, blinding twin guitar melodies, and solid walls of anthemic five-part vocal harmonies.

Dr. Grind |
Emerging from the Columbus, Ohio rock scene to become one of the most popular and critically acclaimed bands was the Christian metal group Legacy. Touring with the likes of Sacred Warrior and REZ, Legacy pounded the Midwest club circuit delivering their slick, polished, L.A. metal, featuring dual guitar wizardry of Fred Blanchard and Matt Rice.

Named one of the top bands and one of the very best live acts to come out of the Tri-state area is Strike Twice. This five-piece shows its influences on its debut release with its mixture of Motley Crue, AC/DC, and Skid Row; while delivering a straight-forward, unapologetic, slab of metal. Strike Twice promises to deliver one of the best and most fulfilling Hard Rock releases of 2009!

Eonian Records has also become the home of Bad Attitude, Charlemagne, High Noon, and Shake City, all of whom played throughout Southern California in the late 80’s and early 90’s with a majority of those shows on the infamous Sunset Strip in Hollywood, California.

Finally, hailing from Indianapolis, Indiana, comes three flamboyant, photogenic bands with killer hooks in Felony, Snakeskin Cowboy and Wanted, all who has packed clubs all over the Midwest with Record Executives in the house nearly every night.
