10TH ANNIVERSARY REISSUE OF DEBUT SOLO ALBUM FROM ANGEL VOCALIST FRANK DIMINO ANNOUNCED

Best known for being the frontman of the legendary Hard Rock band ANGEL, who were discovered (similarly to VAN HALEN) by KISS bass player Gene Simmons and signed to Casablanca Records. With that label ANGEL released 5 critically acclaimed studio and one live album in the second half of the 70’s before disbanding and being resurrected by both DiMino and Punky Meadows in 2018. After the band’s initial break up, Dimino went on to work with UFO’s Paul Raymond and worked as a singer for Soundtracks, scoring a Platinum album for the inclusion of his Cycle V song “Seduce Me Tonight” on the “Flashdance” soundtrack.

 

Frank Dimino released his first solo project Old Habits Die Hard in 2015, a fine Melodic Hard Rock album which saw him collaborate with some heavyweights of the Vegas music scene where he currently resides. Under the production of Paul Crook (MEAT LOAF), Old Habits Die Hard sees the participation, among others, Oz Fox (STRYPER), Eddie Ojeda (TWISTED SISTER), Rickey Medlocke (BLACKFOOT, LYNYRD SKYNYRD), Jeff Duncan (ARMORED SAINT), and former ANGEL bandmates Punky Meadows (on guitar) and Barry Brandt (co-writing with Frank the song” Even Now”).

Watch video for “Never Enough” Below:

To celebrate the 10th Anniversary, it is now being remastered and repackaged with the bonus acoustic track “Even Now” and liner notes by rock journalist Dave Reynolds. It will be available for the first time on 180g White Vinyl and as a 6-Panel Digipak on June 6th. DiMino explains the origins of the album “Ken Ciancimino as executive producer and Paul Crook as the musical producer is the reason I did a solo album. Having Oz Fox and Jeff LaBansky to collaborate with was so inspirational and the reason for writing all new songs for the album. I’m so thankful to all the musicians and friends that played on this album.  Everyone working together on this project is what made this album so special and that’s what makes it so worth it!”

There are only 300 of the vinyl available with a limited number of LP/CD bundles signed by DiMino. Pre-order here:  https://www.dekoentertainment.com/frank-dimino

GARAGE ROCK PIONEERS THE FIFTH ESTATE DROP "HOLD YOU CLOSER" SINGLE & VIDEO FROM UPCOMING ALBUM THEN AND NOW

A rock band out of a factory section of Stamford, CT by way of NYC. The Fifth Estate often played 5 or 6 hours a night, 6 nights a week, for months at a time. They rocked harder and heavier than most bands of the 60s. This did them no great service due to the AM Radio pop required of the day. So on a bet at a NYC party they jokingly did “Ding Dong The Witch is Dead”. It was a huge hit around the world. This and 3 other hits moved them on to huge concert around the country. Live they were ahead of things in the 60s and as Tomorrow Is My Turn could show you they already played what would become the thing in the 70s and again in the 90s and then and now again with bands like Oasis in the 2020s.

They stayed all these years doing what they do. Sometimes underground. Sometimes above ground. And now they will release a timeless album called THEN and NOW of all new tunes and a few covers. With the great guitar player and Grammy Winning producer Paul Nelson (Johnny Winter) on it, you can hear all that again. Starting with the first single “Hold You Closer”.

Watch video Below:

As Ken Evans states about the first single, “”Hold You Closer” is a rather beautifully heart felt tune about life and love when in the music business. May be understood by most musicians instantly and then soon by all. From Lover's Leap Bridge to the exhilarating real thing all in a day and night.” There are 15 songs in all with an amazing rendition of the classic “Great Balls of Fire”.

FORMER SPIN DOCTORS GUITARIST ANTHONY KRIZAN JOINS DEKO ENTERTAINMENT TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM "COOL SHADE OF BLUE" FEATURING "WHITE LINES" SINGLE OUT NOW

Anthony Krizan’s rock roots run deep. He was lead guitarist of the Spin Doctors, opening 15 dates for the Rolling Stones with audiences
of 70,000, and for the Allman Brothers. He played guitar with Jimi Hendrix’s legendary bassist, Noel Redding and is an original member of Amphibian, with Phish lyricist Tom Marshall. Anthony has also penned rock/soul staples such as Stand By My Woman with Lenny Kravitz, 5 songs on the Spin Doctors Greatest Hits, the theme of the Spin City TV series and The Howard Stern “Miss America” theme. Recently, Krizan co-wrote the title track to former Baby’s singer and solo artist John Waite’s 2022 EP, Anything, and also co-wrote the title track to John Waite’s Mercury release When You Were Mine.

But Anthony’s true passion lies in his solo work. Anthony’s solo band performances and songs are an electrifying, swampy, rock/blues/soul, genre crossing solo-coaster ride. His latest single “White Lines” has a slamming blues infused groove and Krizan explains the inspiration, ““White Lines” is a nod to one of my biggest guitar influences and heroes Jimi Hendrix. I set out to write a song that had the vibe and spirit of Voodoo Child. I played with Noel Redding, Hendrix ‘s bassist for about 10 years on and off. I hope Noel and Jimi are looking down and smiling and saying yeah man thank you.”

Watch “White Lines” below:

Cool Shade of Blue was produced by Krizan at his Sonic Boom Studios and has thirteen tracks in total, featuring other standout tracks like “Into The Groove”, Strawberry Wine”, and “Sin and Redemption”.

The group's self-titled 1975 debut was recorded for Casablanca Records with a line-up comprising Frank DiMino (vocals), Punky Meadows (guitar), Gregg Giuffria (keyboards), Mickie Jones (bass), and Barry Brandt (drums).

The album’s success led to a massive tour which ran from fall of 1998 through the summer of 1999, including a performance at the infamous Woodstock 1999. The Dirty Boogie’s success was capped off with a Grammy win for Brian’s version of “Sleepwalk” for Best Pop Instrumental in 1999.

SPIRITS BURNING LED BY DON FALCONE AND FEATURING HAWKWIND FAMILY MEMBERS RELEASE LIVE AT KOZFEST

Spirits Burning is a music collective led by Don Falcone. The band celebrate space, prog, new music, and other genres, and have included input from family members of Blue Öyster Cult, Clearlight, Gong, Hawkwind, Van der Graaf Generator, and many other groups, as well as Porcupine Tree’s Steven Wilson and British science fiction and fantasy writer Michael Moorcock. Spirits Burning have released 20 albums, featuring almost 300 musicians.

In 2017, Spirits Burning performed live in England at Kozfest. The line-up: Hawkwind family members Richard Chadwick (drums, vocals), Bridget Wishart (vocals, EWI), and Steve Bemand (guitar, vocals), plus Don Falcone (keyboards, vocals), Kev Ellis (Kaoss Pad, vocals), Martin Plumley (guitar, vocals), and Colin Kafka (bass). This was a rare live show, as Spirits Burning have historically been a studio project. With musicians, located across the world from the U.S. to Europe to Russia to Japan, live shows had never been considered, making this a monumental release for the band.

As Falcone explains, “Our first live album! It captures our journey through the Spirits Burning catalog. Launching with a three-song suite with Bridget on lead and EWI and her Chumley Warner Bros partner Martin Plumley on acoustic guitar – the rest of the band providing a weaving space rock landscape. Then two rockers with me on lead vocals, followed by two driving instrumentals that showcase our rhythm section of Richard, Colin and Steve, along with some fiery guitar solos by Steve. Next is a song with Kev on lead vocals, then our cover of ‘Images,’ a song that Bridget, Richard, and Steve performed with Hawkwind on an early Nineties tour. The set concludes with two vocal songs with Kev and Bridget sharing the mic. The album includes two bonus studio tracks, songs that we performed three nights earlier in Bath, and which we didn’t have time for at Kozfest. The full story of our gig and the year leading up to it is covered in a book I’ve written – ‘One Of The Spirits Burning (A Musical Memoir)’ – coming from Stairway Press in 2025.”

This release captures the band in a unique setting and covering tracks from throughout the bands career. A must have for all Spirits Burning and fans of Prog Rock.

Formed in Germany in 1969, Nektar favored extended compositions and concept albums over the constraints of pop. They were among the leaders of the progressive rock movement of the 1970s as well as the jam-band scene that arose in the late 1990s. Their sound traveled well to the States, where they enjoyed Top 40 success with “A Tab in the Ocean” (1972) and “Remember the Future” (1973). Nearly 20 albums later, the band’s artistic and personal charisma has earned them masses of devoted fans along with their album “The Other Side” (2020) which was Number 1 on Amazon Progressive Music. For over half a century, Nektar has been the guiding star for countless fans, leading them on mesmerizing expeditions through the vast expanses of the cosmos and the depths of the ocean. With their unique fusion of progressive rock and stunning visuals, these trailblazing prog-rock legends have ignited the imaginations of generations.

Nektar’s latest release, Mission To Mars, is the first in a trilogy and the first to feature new drummer, Jay Dittamo, alongside longtime members Ryche Chlanda (guitars, vocals), Kendall Scott (keyboards, synths), Maryann Castello (vocals) and original founding member Derek “Mo” Moore (bass guitar, vocals). Nektar melded those aforementioned traits with the soothing mellowness and adventurous jamming of Camel, the Grateful Dead and Caravan. Nektar’s knack for thought-provoking concepts and entrancing music has rarely wavered and is just as evident on Mission To Mars.

The band has just released a lyric video for the beautiful “I’ll Let You In,” and as Mo and Ryche state:

“This song came to us very quickly and organically. It captures ‘that’ moment when you decide to share with someone your true self. How having the courage to be vulnerable can lead to deeper relationships and bring you closer to your higher power.”

LEGENDARY ANGEL GUITARIST PUNKY MEADOWS RELEASING HIS FIRST EVER SOLO CHRISTMAS SONG “WRAP ME UP” ON NOVEMBER 29!

One of the most striking hard rock bands of the 1970’s was undoubtedly Angel - who sported costumes, and a highly theatrical stage show only rivaled by KISS (their then-label mates on Casablanca Records). Despite Angel splitting in 1981, the group’s popularity and influence remain high - resulting in the return of their larger-then-life guitarist, Punky Meadows, with his first-ever solo release Fallen Angel in 2016, which was followed by the Angel reunion album Risen in 2019 and follow up Once Upon A Time in 2023.

Punky has now recorded his first ever Christmas song at Knothole Recording Studio in Charlotte, NC and he is delivering it in that traditional Christmas vibe. As Punky explains, “Hey guys, want to introduce to you, my new Christmas song "Wrap Me Up". This is not a rock song, it's a standard Classic Christmas Song, like the Christmas songs of the 50’s and 60’s (when the best Christmas songs were written). "Wrap Me Up" will put a smile on your face, make you happy, romantic, Christmassy and want to dance! Your kids, parents, and grandparents will love this song! It just makes you feel good! Merry Christmas Bay-Bee!”

Pre-save “Wrap Me Up” here: https://push.fm/ps/wrap-up

There will also be a Limited Edition (300 copies) CD Single along with an autographed Christmas Card only available directly from the Deko Entertainment web store to celebrate this release and kick off the Holiday Season!

BRIAN SETZER ORCHESTRA RE-ISSUES ANNOUNCED INCLUDING THE BREAKTHROUGH ALBUM THE DIRTY BOOGIE ON LIMITED EDITION 180G COLORED VINYL DROPS DECEMBER 13!

The Brian Setzer Orchestra is a swing band formed in 1992 by Stray Cats frontman Brian Setzer. Their debut self titled album was released in 1994, and was followed up in 1996 with Guitar Slinger. In 1998, for their breakout album The Dirty Boogie, the group covered Louis Prima's "Jump, Jive An' Wail", which originally appeared on Prima's 1957 album The Wildest! and found themselves with a runaway hit! The album’s success led to a massive tour which ran from fall of 1998 through the summer of 1999, including a performance at the infamous Woodstock 1999. The Dirty Boogie’s success was capped off with a Grammy win for Brian’s version of “Sleepwalk” for Best Pop Instrumental in 1999. That would just be the first Grammy that Brian would bring home with the Orchestra.

With the success of the recent Guitar Slinger reissue from the Brian Setzer Orchestra we are now excited to announce for the first time on vinyl since 1998, The Dirty Boogie. Remastered on 180g vinyl in two amazing Limited-Edition Colors and in a special gatefold jacket. There are only 300 of the Multi-Color Splatter and 700 of the Seafoam Melt. The Dirty Boogie is the third release from the Brian Setzer Orchestra. As Setzer states about this time, “When the swing revival came, it put me on that wave and it was a great thing for me because it got the sound out there and all of a sudden, I turned around and oh my gosh, everything was just huge.” The live tour set featured several Stray Cats hits including “Rock This Town” which got a big band re-working for The Dirty Boogie, along with many other tracks from the new album which were made for the stage.

Watch “Jump Jive An’ Wail” below.

In addition to Prima's "Jump Jive An' Wail", you’ll hear the Grammy Winning version of Santo & Johnny’s classic “Sleepwalk”, the rockin’ title track “The Dirty Boogie”, "Since I Don't Have You" by the kyliners, “This Cat’s On A Hot Tin Roof”, and Bull Moose Jackson’s "Nosey Joe” featuring a brilliant guest appearance by Gwen Stefani of No Doubt, to name just a few of the incredible songs on this modern classic.This is the second in a series of three reissues coming from Deko Entertainment with Guitar Slinger already released and Vavoom! coming in early 2025.

CATHY RANKIN TEAMS UP WITH DAVID ELLEFSON AND KEN MARY ON NEW SINGLE, "NOW YOU'VE GONE" BEING RELEASED OCTOBER 29TH THROUGH DEKO ENTERTAINMENT

Cathy Rankin will release her debut single "Now You've Gone," featuring renowned musicians David Ellefson (formerly of Megadeth) and Ken Mary (formerly of Alice Cooper). The emotional track, inspired by deeply personal experiences, reflects on themes of love, grief, and ultimately hope, and will be accompanied by an official music video.

Fans can pre-order the single here: https://push.fm/ps/nug

Rankin wrote the song as a tribute to legendary drummer Neil Peart, and her nephew, Christian. "Both had a permanent impact on my life," she shares. "Neil’s music and lyrics were a huge influence for me, and my nephew was a light in this world for the 18 years he was here. The song is my way of expressing the void I felt when they were gone, and connecting with others who have experienced similar feelings of loss."

The project came naturally as Rankin, Ellefson, Mary, and guitarist John Bronson, were all connected through their music roots in Arizona, and their involvement with the Metal Hall of Fame. They discovered their shared passion for RUSH which led to the development of the song. Rankin explains, "Ken co-wrote and produced the track while John and I have played and performed together for years. David jumped on board, and everything just clicked. The entire process was a fun and smooth experience and we formed lasting friendships."

Both Mary and Ellefson are proud of the project. "Working with Cathy is amazing," said Mary. "She's a total pro, and when I heard her idea for this song, I wanted to get involved right away. She's an incredible talent, and I feel the song is the most moving tribute I've heard to date."
Ellefson added, "She did a fantastic job honoring Neil with this moving tribute. May this song continue to live to honor our prog hero from fans such as us."

Music enthusiasts will not want to miss the official video. Rankin shares her excitement, stating, "RUSH fans, especially, will catch the subtle metaphors and nods to the Professor, but rock fans in general will appreciate the exceptional musicianship and production."

Though "Now You've Gone" is Rankin's first original single, she’s been active in the music scene for years, co-hosting the Metal Hall of Fame with Eddie Trunk, the Annual Bubba Bash with YYNOT (honoring Neil) and singing on countless stages with her successful cover bands. This release is the perfect introduction to Rankin as an original artist, and fans can expect more to come. To celebrate the release of “Now You’ve Gone” Rankin is signing a limited amount of “Exit Stage Left” inspired flats and making available the brand-new Cathy Rankin official t-shirt.
