Unleashing early July 2014. Read 'em & weep! Shutup&Jam! you know who I am, you know where I stand, so Shutup&Jam! I am!"

From the ground breaking AMBOY DUKES' "Journey To The Center Of The Mind" to classics like "Stranglehold" (ranked in the Top 100 Classic Rock Songs and #1 Guitar Lick) and "Cat Scratch Fever" (32nd Best Hard Rock Song of All Time),DAMN YANKEES chartbuster "High Enough" and cult classic "Fred Bear" (the most requested song for radio airplay in Michigan and Wisconsin).
