I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS ALBUM
http://www.myspace.com/spoilernyc
New York punk trio SPOILER NYC, featuring LIFE OF AGONY co-founder/bassist Alan Robert on lead vocals and bass, has lined up the following dates:
Dec. 08 - Hamilton St Cafe - Bound Brook, NJ
Dec. 09 ? Europa - Greenpoint Brooklyn, NY
In other news, SPOILER NYC has posted two more tracks from its forthcoming release, entitled "Grease Fire in Hell's Kitchen". The record will be
released in early 2007 through an independent label to be announced shortly. Check out the songs "Ruined" and " High Friends in Low Places" ? which
were produced by Robert and recorded by Danny Schuler (BIOHAZARD) at Underground Sound Studios and at Over Time Studio by Omar Clavijo (ILL NINO) ?
Both cuts were mixed by Greg Fidelman (SLIPKNOT, JET, JOHNNY CASH) and DD Ehrlich.
When asked what inspired the decision to start the group, Robert stated, "A very close friend of mine died last year of leukemia while I was touring
with LIFE OF AGONY. It really took its toll on me. I flew home for his wake and seeing him there, not even 30 years old, lying in his coffin, hit me
like a ton of bricks. I started writing a song in memory of him and it truly was the moment that this SPOILER NYC project was born. The words and
music that came out of me that day weren't meant for LOA. It was something completely different. Junkyard and I have been talking about doing a band
like this for years it feels amazing to finally see this thing come to life. We've spent the better part of our lives hanging out, drinking, listening
to punk rock records, talking about the day that we'd finally make our own music together. He's been with me on the road since LOA's very first show,
so it's a long time coming. 'Grease Fire' is the record we always talked about making, and we're very proud of it."
Upcoming LIFE OF AGONY shows:
Nov. 24 - The Chance - Poughkeepsie, NY
Nov. 26 - Starland Ballroom - Sayreville, NJ
Dec. 03 - Crocodile Rock - Allentown, PA
Dec. 04 - Toad's Place - New Haven, CT
Dec. 05 - Irving Plaza - New York, NY
LIFE OF AGONY spent most of the year on break after completing its successful touring cycle for the 2005 Epic Records release, "Broken Valley". The
band is currently without a record deal, having parted ways with Epic last year. In the meantime, lead singer Keith Caputo released a solo album,
titled "Heart's Blood on Your Dawn", and toured Europe to support it with a group of talented Dutch musicians. Guitarist Joey Z has opened a recording
studio in Brooklyn, NY called Method of Groove Studio and has successfully produced and mixed BRAND NEW SIN's latest release for Century Media. Joey
has also teamed up with Peter Steele (TYPE O NEGATIVE) to reform CARNIVORE. Drummer Sal Abruscato has been actively building custom motorcycles and
recently won an award for his latest creation.

I love LOA, but I wasn't overly thrilled with SpoilerNYC. I'll probably give them another listen at some point.
