SKINLAB Signs With STAND AND DELIVER RECORDS

March 9, 2009

Veteran San Francisco Bay Area metallers SKINLAB have inked a deal with Cleveland, Ohio's Stand and Deliver Records. The band is currently recording its new album, "The Scars Between Us", with producer Juan Urteaga for a July 7 release.

Commented bassist/vocalist Steev Esquivel: "We are pleased to announce our signing with Stand and Deliver Records. After spending most of 2008 in negotiations, we feel Stand and Deliver is the right home for SKINLAB and look forward to releasing this fucking beast of a record on July7 EVERYWHERE!"

Added Stand and Deliver Records owner Matt Polena: "The ink is barely dry on the contract and they already have several great touring opportunities. It is great to add a veteran band like SKINLAB to our roster. They have a lot to offer."

Esquivel previously stated about the band's new material, "This will be by far the best SKINLAB... ever!! Expect nothing but pure heaviness... This album has everything a longtime SKINLAB will expect, but also a few other elements that we've added to the mix that are gonna blow you away. We're coming prepared for the beatdown!!"

As previously reported, SKINLAB has been added to the July 10 stop of the Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival at the Sleep Train Amphitheatre in Sacramento, California. SKINLAB will be the second band of the day on the Jägermeister Mobile Stage.

SKINLAB recently posted a short preview of the band's video for the song "In for the Kill". The clip was filmed in May 2008 at the group's warehouse in Oakland, California with new, up-and-coming director Jourdan McClure and it features an appearance by rebounding UFC fighter Nate Quarry and Greg Thompson.

SKINLAB released a live album, "SkinnedAlive!", in April 2008 via BCD Music Group. The CD was recorded on June 3, 2007 at The Metro in Oakland, California.

SKINLAB's current lineup:

Paul Hopkins - Drums
Glen Telford - Guitars
Steev Esquivel - Bass/Vocals
Snake - Guitars

SKINLAB's last studio album, "ReVolting Room", came out in 2002. A double-disc set, entitled "Nerve Damage", featuring alternate versions of studio tracks, several live tracks recorded on the band's "ReVolting Room" tour, plus two new songs, came out in 2004.
