Addison Records signs the Evil Queens

Posted by adam on Tuesday, April 12, 2005 at 6:58 PM (EDT)

Addison Records has signed Columbus, OH's the Evil Queens. The label will be re-releasing their third studio album First It Boils, Then It Spills on July 26th. It will be remastered and expanded with tracks from the band's first two records, The Evil Queens and Dos. The press release touts that the band has been "compared at various times to Quicksand, Kiss, Fu Manchu and an arena rock- tinged Six Finger Satellite."

Addison's Marc Alghini discovered the band via a podcast from Ohio based indie-rock webzine Donewaiting.com. Editor Robert Duffy commented "So the way it worked out: I played a new song off the self-released Queens album on one of my podcast/radio shows awhile back. Marc over at Addision hears the song, loves the song, comes to Columbus for the band's CD release show back in March. Loves their live show. (Who doesn't?) A month later, the album goes from being self-released to having a national presence."

The song "American Cancer" is online now.

Hell yeah. This band rocks. Reminds me of new bomb turks meets hot snakes.

Someone (April 13, 2005)

You crazy. This just sounds more like an uninspired crappy radio rock band than the New Bomb Turks or the Hot Snakes.

The thing you all need to pay attention to it was found on a podcast not on a streaming show on a podcast. Those of you with bands that want exposure need to head over to podcastalley.com and get with some of the podcasters so they can play your jams.
