MetalAssault.com caught up with UNRULY CHILD frontwoman Marcie Free on November 23rd. She talks about doing an Unruly Child album after a period of 19 years, being sober, working with the guys in Unruly Child again, her solo career, touring possibilities, being a full time musician versus doing it along with a day job, her first ever show as a singer, how she decided to take up music in her childhood days, working with CARMINE APPICE in the past, and the decision to reunite with Frontiers Records.

Check out the interview here.

As previously reported, Marcie Michelle Free KING KOBRA, SIGNAL), Bruce Gowdy (guitarist – STONE FURY, WORLD TRADE), and Guy Allison (keyboardist – LODGIC, WORLD TRADE, DOOBIE BROTHERS) are back together again and have written and recorded a new CD. Rejoining Free, Gowdy, and Allison are original band members from the first record produced in 1992 by Beau Hill (RATT, WINGER, THE STORM, EUROPE) and released on Interscope/Atlantic in 1992: drummer - Jay Schellen (HURRICANE, WORLD TRADE, ASIA), and bassist - Larry Antonino (PABLO CRUISE).

The puzzle would not quite be complete until the awesome cover art was designed by none other than the famed, Hugh Syme (RUSH, MEGADETH, WHITESNAKE). The final piece for the ultimate reunion, as he also designed the original Unruly Child debut album artwork.

“When Bruce called me, I knew what he was going to ask me before the words came out of his mouth”, says Marcie Free “Two weeks before I had a long talk with my higher power and he told me it was time I came out of retirement to start giving back what has been given to me. So you could say it is divine providence”. “This whole record Worlds Collide was a surprising experience, it’s like we never left” adds Bruce Gowdy, while Guy Allison say “While we initially thought that we’d have to try to think like Unruly Child, we discovered that once we got together again, it was really second nature. One of the absolute strengths of this version of the band is how we are able to get out of each other’s way. There’s an unspoken trust between Bruce, Marcie and myself – and it allows us to bring our separate visions together perfectly. Once you add the talents of Jay and Larry to the mix, it’s like magic”.

With so much excitement centered around their new record it has sparked fires of tour talk. Something this group has never done before. Will they hit the road in Europe or the States? “We all have been talking about doing some live shows and the prospects are good that we will. We have been hearing from quite a lot of European promoters so we will have to sit down with them and plan something. It's looking like summer of 2011 is a good possibility” tells Marcie. The band already has material in preparation for a follow up, but will likely release a remixed, remastered and updated version of Tormented with bonus tracks and new material before breaking ground on the next record.

Unruly Child are also in the process of securing the rights to their first record for a future re-release.
