1/23/2008 - The Midwest's most powerful metal band, Load Point Pull has decided on a new drummer, Toby Foulk from Kansas City industrial band Swill. Says bassist Doug Kenworthy, "We are very excited to have Toby onboard as a new member of the LPP family. Toby is a kick ass drummer that is even more fun to watch. He's going to bring a lot to the table. We are very excited about the future of LPP. We have a lot of stuff planned for this year. We got so many emails and phone calls from fans and friends to get Toby that we figured we better keep the fans happy! Even Bobby recommended that we get Toby to fill his slot. So we had an eye on him for a while. Once we met with him we knew he was our guy. So now we're gonna get these new songs done and be back to kickin' some ass by late spring. Keep an eye and ear out for new LPP!"

TIGERTAILZ' BASSIST ADMITTED TO HOSPITAL
9/22/06 - After weeks of struggling with acute stomach pain, Tigertailz bassist, Pepsi Tate was admitted into hospital earlier this week. Following a detailed medical examination, Tate has been diagnosed with a severe stomach condition that has lead to internal muscle seizure. Pepsi is now being treated with heavy medication but is expected to make a full recovery in a few weeks. Unfortunately, this means that Pepsi will not be able to travel to Spain next week for the shows in Bilbao, Madrid and Barcelona (28-30 September). Neither Pepsi or the rest of the band want to cancel the shows so all have agreed to go ahead and play the shows using a temporary Bass player. Glen ‘Nailz’ Quinn has kindly stepped up to the plate and agreed to play bass for these Spanish shows. Glen has a long friendship with the Tailz and was the guitarist in local 80’s Glam band City Kidds. Pepsi is expected to make a full recovery in time for the Wildside Festival in Nottingham in November.

Message from Kim, Jay and Matt – “we would all like to pass on our best wishes to Pepsi and hope he makes a full recovery soon. What’s important here is that he gets well as soon as possible. Playing shows without him is going to be totally weird but none of us want to cancel the Spanish dates at this late stage and disappoint the fans. We would like to thank Glen for helping us out and we’re very grateful to him for stepping in at such short notice. We hope all you Spanish maniacs won’t be too disappointed in not seeing Pepsi but we can assure you the shows will be a full-on Tailz Rock n Roll Party.. No question! We’ll see you all next week!”

KERRANG! COMES THROUGH YET AGAIN FOR TIGERTAILZ!
8/30/06 - Will Tigertailz work their way into the hearts of today's trendy teens?? First a 4K live review and now praise through and through for the 'Bezerk 2.0' masterpiece: TIGERTAILZ BEZERK 2.0 (DEMOLITION) KKKK GOLD STAR COMEBACK ALBUM FROM REUNITED GLAM METALLERS COMPLETELY FAITHFUL to the spirit of 1990’s classic ‘Bezerk’, but boasting a massively better production, the returning Tigertailz – glammed-up masters of monster hooks – demonstrate a perfect understanding of what their audience wants. Who cares if it’s been over a decade - amid today’s understated rock scene, Tigertailz stand about as high as Kilimanjaro and are, when they want to be, every bit as heavy. ‘Falling Down’ invokes tribal chants, ‘One Beat Of Your Heart’ dances and glitters while the colossal ‘Make Me Bleed’ pulses with steely glamour. It all climaxes with ‘Dirty Needlez’, a knowingly OTT metallic maelstrom that few bands would contemplate. ‘Bezerk 2.0’ is as epic as Queensryche and as immediate as The Automatic. What is that coming over the hill?

EVICK MEMBERS DISCUSS NEW ALBUM DETAILS
7/20/06 - Evick has been hard at work on their new album 'Real Thing' but the band is taking a different approach to the writing and recording process this time around. One of the hardest working bands in the rock world, Evick has decided to road test the material for the third album and while it has proven to be a time consuming process it is well worth it, according to band namesake, Pete Evick. "On 'Anachronism' and 'Sunset To Sunset' we wrote and recorded everything and then took it on the road, " tells Pete. "This time we're doing it the opposite way and writing the stuff and then taking it out for a few weeks. If all goes well, we come back home and track it. If we think some changes need to be made then we work on the songs a bit more. Songs evolve over time and we always find ourselves wanting to re-record them. This time we're cutting through to the chase."

Evick is also trying to stretch its boundaries and make a record that has more versatility and color to it this time around. "Many albums these days seem to sound the same from start to finish, " says Evick drummer, Chuck Fanslau. "One of Pete's biggest influences is Van Halen and while you always knew it was Van Halen, you would have one record that would have something heavy and fast like "I'm The One" or "Atomic Punk", and then turn around and have the tongue and cheek fun of something like "Ice Cream Man" or even the feel good pop fashion of a song like "Feel Your Love Tonight" and that's what we want to bring to 'Real Thing.' We want that flexibility while still keeping our signature sound."

'Real Thing' is scheduled to drop in the spring of 2007, with the album's title track being released as a single in January.

TIGERTAILZ GIG GETS 4K REVIEW IN KERRANG! MAGAZINE
5/19/06 - Welsh hard rockers Tigertailz have achieved the unthinkable by being awarded a killer 4K review in modern rock magazine Kerrang! With Tigertailz being so far removed from what Kerrang! covers in this day and age this is a remarkable feat. The review reads as follows: TIGERTAILZ ROCK CITY, NOTTINGHAM 08.04.06 KKKK ODDS-DEFYING COMEBACK FROM WELSH GLAM HEROES AS THE Nineties dawned, Tigertailz were on the fast track to stardom. Unlike the tedious parade of bandana wearing Aerosmith clones, you could spot a Tigertailz song from miles away. Evil riffs that could poke your eyes out, massed choruses that brought a new meaning to the word ‘huge’, and a sense of celebratory excess not equalled until The Darkness. Grunge left it gutted and stupidly forgotten. Sensing a change of season, three of the classic ‘Bezerk’ line-up are back, and the sight of this packed venue must have rejuvenated them yet further. Not that they need it – frontman Kim Hooker looks as if he’s just stepped out of a time machine dated 1990. Hooker’s high notes, high kicks and indefinable coolness rule the roost as Tigertailz pour out monster melodies, reaching delirious peaks that send this crowd properly apeshit. There’s the spectacularly silly ‘Love Bomb Baby’, the semi-thrash punk splurge of ‘TYFHO’ and a heads-down ferocious ‘Dirty Needles’. Two excellent new songs say much about the intent of this comeback, and there’s energy and banter throughout. While persistently entertaining, there’s also something absurdly emotional about it all. As if, somehow, this is how it was always meant to be.
