Metal Blade Records recently announced that the first of a series of new singles from Q*BALL, a project led by RETURN TO EARTH frontman Ron Scalzo that features the talents of guitarist Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal, can now be purchased.

Inspired by newer bands like LCD, SOUNDSYSTEM and veteran acts like BECK and NINE INCH NAILS, who use a bevy of studio musicians, friends, and producers to hone both their recorded and live sounds, Scalzo sent an email out to a dozen friends whose music he admired or who he'd worked with before to recruit them for the Q*Ball collaboration project.

Scalzo will release a new song every month, starting with ‘The Hum.’

Scalzo comments: "Each song will be written by myself and one or two other people, fleshed out together, tracked, and then brought to Bumblefoot to be mixed and sautéed before being served to the masses. The days of putting an album out every three years are over for acts much bigger than Q*Ball, so keeping things fresh has become a no-brainer."

Q*Ball has released three albums thru Scalzo's independent label, Bald Freak Music. Read the rest of the story, check out the lyrics, listen to and purchase the single ‘The Hum’ at the official Q*Ball website or CDBaby.com.

Q*Ball members are as follows:
Q*Ball - vocals, keyboards, handclaps
Bodega Brad - loops
Bumblefoot - guitars, handclaps, hey hey heys
