FLOTSAM AND JETSAM Drummer Comments On CRASH MUSIC Deal

May 27, 2004

FLOTSAM AND JETSAM drummer Craig Nielsen has confirmed in a brand-new online posting that the group have inked a deal with Crash Music Inc. "The label has an extensive, impressive roster and catalogue, and we are very happy with the commitment already shown by the label to this band," he said. "They have excellent distribution through Caroline and a very solid track record of promotion and exposure for their artists. Their website is Crashmusicinc.com. They were the label that had a good degree of success with CROWBAR, among many other bands. The recording will start in late July. The material so far is leaps and bounds heavier than the last four records combined, definitely a return to the bands roots but still with some ambient surprises that break up all the speed riffing. There seems to be an inspired vibe going on in the writing process that is taking on a life of its own. Also, it looks still good for a June 22 release for our live DVD through Cleopatra. And I was just informed that the METALLICA tribute DVD that also has MOTÖRHEAD, HELMET, DEATH ANGEL and many other huge names will be probably released in late September. As a reminder, FLOTSAM did an extremely killer version of 'Damage Inc.' for the record."

As previously reported, FLOTSAM AND JETSAM's forthcoming live DVD is expected to include footage of the band performing at the Bash On Ash in Tempe, Arizona last July.
