Press Release Body =
Earwax Records, which is known as the haven for independent and mainstream artists,
has opened its doors to Rock. Despite the fact that Earwax carries a few choice
Rock pieces, Rockers are not their target customer. In spite of Earwax's target
market, DJ Random, who writes The Random Review for Earwax's "In Your Ear" e-zine,
picked Eight Inches or More without and requests and published the review in the
October 26th, 2006 issue of "In Your Ear";


Rock: I\'m here to tell you that Blackheadz is a rock band, period. Whenever a rock
band consisting of Black musicians hits the scene, many people want to call it Black
Rock and trot out the usual comparisons (Living Colour, 24-7 Spyz, Bad Brains,
Fishbone, etc.). But, with their CD \"Eight Inches or More\", Blackheadz brings pure
rock on par with such greats as Rush, Pearl Jam, Iron Maiden or even Zeppelin, The
Doors and Black Sabbath. They are, at times, conscious with songs like \'American
Arrogance\' and at other times gritty and adult-oriented as heard on \'A** On Fire\'
(which also features a wicked guitar solo). One of the things that blew me away
throughout the album was the unbelievable instrumentation. Top to bottom, Shay
(vocals, bass), Scott (lead guitar), B-Mack (keyboards) and Shep! (drums) can hang
with anyone when it comes to musicianship. Some of my favorites include \'Devishly
Beautiful\' (on which Shep! works the pedals like he has 4 or 5 feet), \'Stand Up\'
(that sounds like rock meets down home revival) and \'King of Freaks\'. They put me in
the mindset of Marilyn Manson as they spoke about worldly ills on \'Oh Yeah\' and took
me back to the Prince\'s early \'Dirty Mind\' days on \'Misbehave\'. All I know is that
I\'ve been replaying this CD constantly and there aren\'t too many new releases that I
can say that about! (4.9 Ears) (For more on Blackheadz at Georgia music directory,

Although Blackheadz typical audience is that of Metal and Rock fans, they have been
known to turn R&B and Hip Hop heads into all out fans. The Blackheadz in-store event
at Earwax will be a monumental occasion. Blackheadz will put on a show that will
refresh, inspire and rock the masses.

Earwax Records is located at 565 Spring Street, Atlanta, GA 30308.
