94XPOSED THURSDAY MARCH 3RD

We added a couple of new up and coming artists to our 94 Next track category this week! I'll debut one today and one tomorrow for you to finish off the week! Today I'll kick off the show with a wicked new Irish Rock Band called Kopek. These guys hit my radar a few weeks ago with their classic rock sound. Those of you that were digging the Flash Lightning track that we featured a few weeks ago are going to dig this new tune! Keep your eyes on these guys! I'm expecting big things!

 

KOPEK - COCAINE CHEST PAINS

SUM  41 - SCREAMING BLOODY MURDER

 

Slayer aren’t the only band to have suffered health problems during the Soundwave festival’s tour of Australia – Sum 41 have been forced to bow out of the remaining dates after frontman Deryck Whibley contracted severe pneumonia. Last year Sum 41 had to bow out of a string of shows after Deryck Whibley suffered a back injury. The band are hoping to play make up dates in the near future for all the shows they had to cancel! Sounds Like Deryck needs some rehab time!

Bush are back on the scene, though it’s taking a little longer than previously expected. The group, which now consists of original members Gavin Rossdale and drummer Robin Goodridge alongside returning guitarist Chris Traynor and new bassist Corey Britz, revealed their return last year and released the track “Afterlife” in late summer. While a disc was expected last fall, Los Angeles Confidential reports that it’s now expected in late spring or early summer. Rossdale stated, “I’ve been trying to reunite the band ever since [we broke up] to be honest. When I began writing songs soon after I came off tour for my solo record, I kept thinking how perfect they would be for a Bush record, so I threw it out there and just willed it. That’s how it came about.”
