Upcoming CD Releases

Here are a couple of CDs slated for U.S. release on July 17:

• The Mission U.K. - God is a Bullet - With the exception of the latter half of the '90s, the Mission U.K. has been recording and touring, with Wayne Hussey (vocals & guitar) as a constant presence, and the only original band member in the current line-up. The band's official website is here, and you may click here to link to their MySpace page.

• Meat Puppets - Rise to Your Knees - Since forming in 1980, Meat Puppets have weathered two break-ups and three incarnations. Curt Kirkwood (vocals & guitar) never left, and in 2006, original bassist (and brother) Cris Kirkwood got back on-board. The Meat Puppets official website is here, and their MySpace page is here. The band will tour the United States from July 21 through mid-September.
