News about the NEW Presidents of the United States of America album!!
"Freaked Out And Small" is
the title of the new album from The Presidents of the United States of America.
After an absence of over three years they are back! Keri Abrams of Musicblitz.com
has just issued a statement informing the PUSA-faithful of the details on this
new release.
She reports that the band has won back the right to use their name after long and dragged-out legal scraps with Sony Records (their former label). Up until recently the group had been using the name "The Quitters" in reference to their retirement three years ago.
The new full length album will be released on CD etc in the autumn of 2000. However, a "fan edition" release will be available from musicblitz.com much earlier. Here are the songs:

Jack Endino: Screaming Trees NOT dead yet.
The Screaming Trees were believed to have broken up, having not released
anything since their '96 album Dust, and not being signed to any label. This belief was
shared by Jack Endino, who was told by Trees drummer Barrett Martin that it was looking
very unlikely that they (Screaming Trees) would do anything again.
triple cycle theory then got this e-mail from Jack:
guess what, I was wrong. just spoke to Barrett in LA and he says they
just recorded a new demo and are looking for a new deal. surprised
the hell out of me.
No word on when a contract will be signed or an album released, but at least we
know they're still around.

The self-titled debut album from the Rockfords, a band made up of
ex-Hammerbox singer Carrie Akre, Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready, the Friel brothers
