SSS Reveal New Album Title; Enlist Help From FRANK SIDEBOTTOM
August 8, 2008, 16 years ago
British crossover thrashers SSS (SHORT SHARP SHOCK) have revealed the title of their upcoming new album as The Dividing Line.
Due out on September 29th in Europe and November 11th in the US, the limited edition first pressing of The Dividing Line comes with a free 'SK8+Destroy' 7" picture disc featuring bonus tracks not included on the album. This exclusive freebie will also feature a very special and rather amusing guest appearance from English comedian and musician FRANK SIDEBOTTOM.
SSS comment on working with Sidebottom: "SSS is stoked to have Frank Sidebottom guesting on our 'Sk8+Destroy' picture disc. His cult status is legendary. For him to get the motor train up to Liverpool with a permission slip from his mum and lay down some killer keyboard riffage is beyond a dream come true. We have been long-standing fans of the Franks for many, many years. Frank has his own style and that's something we admire. Frank is a true genius.
Iron Maiden have Eddie... Anthrax have Judge Dredd... We don't have Frank but it's as close as we're going to get!
Our new CD/LP called The Dividing Line is out end of September with 20 tracks to break things to. Pick it up and receive a free 'Sk8+Destroy' 7" complete with Frank Sidebottom's bossanova riff action... "You know you should... You really should. Thank you."
