| Koch Records has signed former Guns 'N' Roses guitarist Slash, industrial rock band Stabbing Westward, and former Onyx rapper Fredro Starr (also known as Firestarr). Slash, whose only post GNR release was the 1995 album "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere" under the Slash's Snakepit banner for Geffen, is expected to release an as-yet-officially-untitled album in late September.
"It's so nice to be working with people that care about what I care about: making good music, having a good time, and just getting it out there," Slash said in a statement about signing to Koch. Produced by Jack Douglas (Aerosmith, Alice Cooper), the completed album includes vocalist Rod Jackson, drummer Matt Laug, guitarist Kerry Kelly, and bassist Johnny Blackout.
Slash, who has also been asked to contribute to Rod Stewart's upcoming album, will hit the road with his band beginning Aug. 1 in support of AC/DC. |
