The Continuing Story Of THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO, VOLUME 4

A quick update regarding our forthcoming compilation CD This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio, Volume 4, due out this summer from the ever-fab Kool Kat Musik label. We are pleased to announce the addition of Stepford Knives, the ace combo starring Jamie Hoover and Otis Hughes. Stepford Knives have given us a brand-new track called "Her Reputation," which only adds to the already-sterling reputation of TIRnRR4.

We have tracks from two other artists, both of whom have connections to the Syracuse area; these tracks are basically confirmed but still need a little behind-the-scenes maneuvering before we can announce them publicly. It's safe to say that this disc is full (which is a shame, because there's a third unannounced track we've been trying to shoehorn in, but I believe we are outta room). We've changed a couple of things since our last update, and some details may still change before we master in June. Here's all of the public information to date:
