From THROTTLEROD:
We are very happy to announce that we are putting the final touches on the new record. Listening to these songs next to Hell and High Water and Nail, it is clear that this is the biggest sounding record we`ve done! There is no release date yet but we should know something fairly soon.
In other news, we are playing shows in May, including one with CLUTCH. These will be the first shows we`ve done since October, so we`re really looking forward to getting back on stage.
5/21: Norfolk, VA - The Norva, with CLUTCH, WINO, AND MAYLENE & THE SONS OF DISASTER
5/22: Columbia, SC - New Brookland Tavern
5/23: Charlotte, NC - Snug Harbor
5/24: Greenville, SC - The Handlebar
In other news, MTV has been using a few of our songs on their new Nitro Circus featuring Travis Pastrana. There is a page up for us at soundtrack.mtv.com/throttlerod. Head over there, register, and vote for us (often). Apparently, this is how MTV will pick music going forward.
Lastly, we`re now on Facebook, so stop by and be a fan.

Throttlerod Summer Updates
From Throttlerod:
Howdy kids,
We just wanted to send out a quick update to share some exciting news. First off, we hit the studio TOMORROW to start recording our next full-length. Well, actually, we`ve recorded four songs late last year and are now going in to record another seven. This record will be quite the ride as these 11 songs (at least ten will make it on the album) are some of the most mutant and most dynamic we`ve ever written. This is definitely our band at its best.
In other news, we found out a couple of weeks ago that we will have some more music on MTV`s Road Rules Challenge as well as on the Living Lohan TV show.
Lastly, we will be playing a rock n roll birthday bash on 8/16 at Alley Katz in Richmond for Allison from Taboo. For those outside of RVA, Taboo is an adult toy store. This show will be with RPG, Adam West, and Switched On and will be 18+. We go on 2nd, so come early.

Album Of The Day-Throttlerod-"Hell And High Water" (2003)
The Album Of The Day is "Hell And High Water" by Throttlerod.
Review:
It would be easy to lump Virginia by way of South Carolina transplants Throttlerod with the likes of southern stoned rockers Alabama Thunder Pussy or enigmatic groove masters Clutch. But with their second album, 2003's Hell and High Water, the band strikes upon a notably individualistic chord, honing their crunchy hard rock into a taught, unified wall-of-Les Paul. Let's just say that if guitar tone were everything, these boys would be headed for the Hall of Fame right now, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. More realistically, the fact is that with all the stoner rock nodding-off going on these days, Throttlerod's focused assault and admirable songwriting economy are clearly their greatest weapons. Sure enough, full-throttle album highlights such as "Suckerpunch," "In the Flood," and the especially memorable "Tomorrow and a Loaded Gun" are discharged like round after round from a two-barrel, allowing little room for taking cover in-between. Initially, the songs' shared high energy makes for an apparent sameness, but this quickly gives way to numerous distinctive moments, including the exceedingly groovy "No Damn Fool" and the soft/hard dynamics of "Whistlin' Dixie." When it's all said and done, the excessive jamming of 11-minute closer "Honest Joe" and the forgettable acoustic balladry of "Been Wrong" constitutes the only true lapses in concentration during this surprisingly cohesive set. (Ed Rivadavia, All Music Guide)
