Aug. 25 2011

Fraze Gang have been holed up in the studio in the last few months
writing songs for the upcoming new CD entitled “Fraze Gang 2”
The band had 29 songs to choose from & have narrowed it down
to the final 10 of which will appear on the upcoming CD.
Included on the CD will be the 4 singles Fraze Gang recently released
and 6 brand new songs of which 4 have already been recorded.
The band is hoping for a early 2012 release with a new video.
The CD is being mixed by the legendary “Beau Hill”
(Alice Cooper, Ratt, Warrant…)

Fraze Gang are also pleased to announce the addition of a new
full time member to the group, guitarist “Derek McGowan.”
Derek has been playing live shows with the guys helping fill out the sound &
the band are so impressed with his dedication, passion & sheer mind blowing
talent that the band offered the gig to Derek of which he gratefully accepted.
You will be able to hear Derek tear it up on the upcoming new CD.
Fraze Gang frontman 'Greg Fraser' was recently quoted on the addition of Derek:
“Derek is the real deal as far as up & coming guitar hero's go,
he can shred with the best of them and is a welcome addition the group.”

When asked about joining Fraze Gang Derek had this to say:
"I am a huge fan of Brighton Rock! I have been since I was 8 years old.
‘Take a Deep Breath' is still one of my favorite albums of all time. In fact,
the first riff I asked my guitar teacher to show me when I was 11 was ‘Power
Overload!' Their music is very much a part of my childhood and teen years."
In 2002 Brighton Rock was asked to reunite for the ZRock Festival in Manchester,
England. Guitarist Greg Fraser was unable to attend. Instead of declining the gig,
BR drummer Mark Cavarzan asked me to fill in for Greg and I literally went nuts!
By bringing me into the fold, it brought me the opportunity to play with Fraze
Gang years later. It was a dream come true. BR treated me so great and
the fans were unbelievable! I am very lucky to have had that opportunity to
play with them. I spent a month of rehearsals with BR at Stevie's house
and I kept pinching myself! The sessions for the new Fraze Gang album
have been awesome!
Playing guitar alongside Greg has been not only
exciting but a great learning experience! The songs Rock!
I can't wait for the new release! Greg wrote riffs that are permanently
imbedded in my mind, music that spoke to me as a kid growing up.
It is an honor to play on his new music and write ideas together!
I'm a lucky guy!!

Cheers!
Derek

New 3 Song EP Mixed and Mastered By Beau Hill
Now Available Via iTunes

Fraze Gang has released a new 3 song digital EP available

Worldwide via iTunes. The 3 tracks, 'Rampage,' 'This is it,'

and a kick ass cover of 70's rockers 'Sugarloaf's' monster hit

'Don't Call Us' were once again mixed by legendary producer

Beau Hill. The band is very excited with the results & would like

to thank Wayne Berge & Beau Hill for their dedication & support.

Ralph Alfonso - Head of Bongo Beat Records
has issued the following press release:

"As Beatlemania sweeps across the world again, we're reminded of an
earlier era when sheer talent and dogged determination paved the way to
success. In 1975, SUGARLOAF chronicled their struggle for a record deal
with the cheeky 'Don't Call Us' - rocketing to #9 on the US charts.
In the song, one of the label excuses is that it's all been done before by a
certain John, Paul, George and Ringo - and funny enough, the publishing
to the song was subsequently bought by Paul McCartney via his MPL
Communications (Sir Paul certainly knows something about a hit record).
'Don't Call Us' was originally a dig at CBS Records who had turned the band
down. Sugarloaf persisted and scored other hits, including the classic rock
staple,
'Green Eyed Lady' (#3, 1970).

Fraze Gang are no strangers to the charts themselves as singer/guitarist
Greg Fraser penned several AOR hits for Canadian hair metal stalwarts
Brighton Rock
('Can't Wait For The Night', 'Hangin' High & Dry', 'We Came To Rock' etc),
picking up several Gold albums along the way.

Now, alongside powerhouse drummer Phil Epp and fellow Brighton Rock
alumni bassist Stevie Skreebs, Greg Fraser updates 'Don't Call Us' for the
current era of instant stars and celebrities, auto-tune software, and TV talent
shows to let us know that ultimately it's raw talent, hunger and determination
that still lead the way to the top.

'Don't Call Us' is the lead track from their digital only EP,
available on iTunes and elsewhere.
Mixed and Mastered by Beau Hill (RATT, WARRANT, ALICE COOPER, etc)

Buy it here now. Bio information can be found at this location ."

For those of you not signed up to iTunes, the Fraze Gang EP
will available worldwide on Amazon & Cd Baby shortly
.

Free Fraze Gang Concert this Sat. May 3 2008

in remembrance of

David Glenn Moore

1961 - 2008

Dave has been a friend of the guys for over 20 years going back to

the Brighton Rock days and has been a true fan & supporter of

Fraze Gang since day one. His favorite song from the Fraze Gang cd

was "Stargazer" of which he would play before every cancer

treatment to get him pumped up. The lines "take what's in front of

you & turn it around, cause everybody sings the blues, so stand

your ground" really struck a chord for Dave and gave him hope.

One of Dave's final requests was, instead of a traditional funeral he

wanted to have a Rockin bash with family, friends & Fraze Gang. The

band is truly honored & will be Kicking Ass Davie Moore style! This

party is open to everyone & the guys invite you to come celebrate the

life of a great father, friend & the biggest Montreal Canadians fan ever!

YOU ROCK DAVIE!

WE MISS YOU!

Bongo Beat Records update:
The Fraze Gang cd is now out in the US and Canada and hits UK stores on Monday, April 28. Already in the UK, it's one of our top sellers just on pre-release orders alone. Due to  the high price of CDs in England, UK fans should check out the UK online sites
as they have better deals than the retail stores (HMV is cheaper online, for example, than buying it in their stores).

Check out the Album Feature on Melodicrock.com and in the USA, the next issue of "Rocknation" will have a half page interview on the band plus a half page ad from the label with complete CD info so fans can take the ad to their favourite store and have it ordered in for them (stores need the bar code and distribution info).

We're starting to roll out the promo copies so you should see more
reviews and stuff happening over the next few months. If you're a journalist and need it now - just contact ralph@bongobeat.com It is a little crazy at Bongo Beat headquarters these days but we're  moving as fast as we can.
It will be out in Germany, Austria and Switzerland in June through 
New Music Distribution so fans in those countries can let their local metal merchants know the "Gang" is on the way!!

Of course, it is available on Amazon worldwide also for those
that need it now. It is also available on iTunes but it seems the digital thing is not  really of interest to the real rock hounds right now, so it's there if they want to preview  the tracks before they get a physical cd with the cool repackaging we did. Also  - the "Jackhammer" video is being edited by Chris Hooper (Bif Naked, Randy Bachman) and we'll have that shortly up on YouTube and also available to any  metal/melodic rock shows and web sites that want it. I think that covers it,

more news coming soon!

Fraze Gang is released in the USA this month and Canada/UK in April. Greg Fraser is a one-man promo machine... the international metal community has really taken this cd to heart both in its original indie version and now the Bongo Beat release with the "Jackhammer" bonus track (mixed by Beau Hill of Warrant, Ratt and Europe fame, among many other things). Look for new videos and touring news shortly. People who know me know I was one of the main engines of 80s metal at the defunct Attic label (Anvil, Lee Aaron, Triumph, Thor, and Roadrunner Records, etc) and I'm a fan of good well-played/well-written hard rock. What I like about Greg's writing is he's got a way with a hook (he wrote all the Brighton Rock hits as their lead guitarist) and if you like straight up fun riff-filled 80s friendly party metal - this is it.
