LIFE OF AGONY frontman KEITH CAPUTO has signed with FOF Label Group/EMI for the North American release of his new solo album, A Fondness For Hometown Scars. The singer/songwriter's new album will be released through the label on October 10th, 2010, and packaged with a live DVD of Keith Caputo performing with a 15-piece orchestra in Cologne, Germany.

Caputo is currently streaming tracks from A Fondness For Hometown Scars online at this location.

"Signing with FOF Label Group gives me an enthusiastic and intoxicating feeling. It's amazing to be working with Dennis Sanders, one of the most fired up cats I've ever come across in this business, and an Indie label/team that is mutually electrified by the music," says Keith. "I look forward to opening doors that have never been opened here in America. My sincere thanks to all at FOF Label Group for believing in me as an artist, poet, and for adoring the album A Fondness For Hometown Scars."
"Keith is an artist unlike any I've ever met and he has made a record that I can only describe as addictive,” added FOF Label Group’s Dennis Sanders. “Keith Caputo has been in the underground NY scene far too long, it's time for the rest of the world to share in this sweet addiction."
