Ralph Alfonso, president of FRAZE GANG's label Bongo Beat Records, has issued the following update:

"The Fraze Gang CD is now out in the US and Canada and hits UK stores on Monday, April 28th. 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!"
