HOLLYWOOD (September 21, 2005) - BOD will be on tour supporting their new album RUNAWAY BRIDES releasing September 27th on Shrapnel Records. Their first single White Trash is soon to hit the airwaves. "White Trash" is exactly what it sounds like. "The pot calls the kettle black ..money can't buy class ...but in LA it's all for free all you need is a casting couch, a bloody scalpel and a sugar daddy," recites LeGrande. It pays homage to all the trailer-park-style culture and the people that try to leave them. From there the Brides will discharge a slew of slamming songs on the audience like "Criminal", "Deadman's Ruin" and "Lords of the Mind." "This is the record we always wanted to make," states Tracii Guns. "It has a great blend of modern rock heaviness with retro sounds and styles. It is the perfect ‘Brides' record of today."

ADEMA will be coming off their own headlining tour to join the Brides on a tour of debauchery in support of their latest album release PLANETS. Standout tracks include: the first single, "Tornado"; title track, "Planets"; a ballad, "Rise Above"; rocker "Bad Triangle", featuring a guest vocal appearance by Jujitsu master Ralek Gracie, aka Rio Life, a member of the world-renowned Gracie Family (and friend of Adema drummer Kris Kohls, himself an avid Jujitsu trainer); and fierce closer, "Vikraphone". Yet, the truth is, all the tracks on "Planets" (count them, 16!... plus one extra surprise!) are expertly-crafted, hook- laden songs; there is not a miss among them.

CHELSEA SMILES is a 4-piece band from New York City and features Todd Youth (guitar/lead vocals), Christian Black (guitar/lead vocals), Johnny Martin (bass guitar) and Karl Rosqvist (drums). With musical influences that range from The MC5 to The Ramones, their debut EP "Nowhere Ride", produced and mixed by Jerry Finn (AFI, Blink 182, Sum 41), will be available for their tour with Backyard Babies starting June 10th, with a full length to follow in February '06. This very powerful live band has been touring with everyone from The Datsuns and The Von Bondies to The Reunion Tour of The New York Dolls. They are an authentic rhythm n' blues/bass/hard rock band with featured performances on their debut album by Billy Preston and legendary Faces keyboardist, Ian McLagan.
