LITTLE CAESAR - featuring the original line-up of Ron Young (vocals; pictured), Loren Molinare and Apache (guitars), Fidel Paniagua (bass) and Tom Morris (drums) - have finished work on their long-awaited new album, Redemption.

Ron Young tells BraveWords.com: "We are currently deciding how we want to release the record. We have been offered a few deals in Europe and we are just starting to play the record for US distributors. We will probably opt to release through a label in Europe and self release it digitally in the US with hard sales available through our website and/or blogspot (which we are in the process of updating in preparation for release). The record will be available through Itunes, Rhapsody, Napster, etc in conjunction with a Widget app called Necodo player/store that will be imbedded on Myspace, Facebook and the blogspot. The album was self produced with Robin Holden who engineered as well. The first single will be 'Same Old Story' and we are currently preparing a video shoot for. Touring will be determined by the interest in the album with definite appearances in the Southwest US through Texas to start."

The tracklisting for Redemption is as follows: 'Same Old Story', 'Supersonic', 'Loving You Is Killing Me', 'Witness Stand', 'Redemption', 'Sick And Tired', 'Real Rock Drive', 'That Was Yesterday', 'Every Picture Tells A Story/Happy', 'Just Like A Woman'.

Little Caesar were formed in Los Angeles during the late-'80s hair metal craze by Ron Young. The group independently released an EP which led to their signing with Geffen Records in 1989. John Kalodner did A&R; work for the group, and Bob Rock produced their debut self-titled album, which was released in 1990. On the strength of the Motown classic 'Chain Of Fools' and 'In Your Arms', Little Caesar hit number 139 on the Billboard 200 in 1990.
