The Wallflowers

Hey there amigos, how is everyone? Good to have you with us!

So what happens when you put No Doubt, Green Day, Blink 182, Sugar Ray and the Wallflowers in a blender and hit frappe? You get the '90's all over again! That's right kids, help yourself to a serving of the decade's best bands!

Sugar Ray will release their album, "Music for Cougars" on July 21st, 2009. This will be their first album in a whopping six years! They're best known for their radio friendly hits such as, "Fly", "Everyday" and "Falls Apart". 

Not only are Sugar Ray making headlines, but a little known band called The Wallflowers are returning! Their greatest singles are, "One Headlight", "6th Ave. Heartache", and "The Difference". This band is coming together again for a summer tour kicking off June 16 in Anaheim, California at the House of Blues.

An idea for another album came after Josh Abrahams from Pulse Records, suggested the guys go back in the studio and record for his label. Their shacking up with Weezer's very own, Rivers Cuomo, Josh Freese and Donovan Frankenreiter.

The band's first single, "Boardwalk" debuts in mid-May! 

Back to Sugar Ray, singer Mark McGrath has taken up several side projects including hosting gossip television show, "Extra".

He tells Billboard, "I know people aren't sitting on the edge of their seats waiting for a Sugar Ray record. But that wasn't the point. It was purely because we love to make music. We're not going anywhere. All of us have tried to sabotage the band one way or another. But some divine intervention has kept this band together and I think we all appreciate that. I think the biggest success of Sugar Ray is that after 21 years and all the booze, drugs, women, money, having no money - all those things have come into play and we're still together. That, to me, is the biggest reward."

The album will be supported by a tour that starts July 24th at the Dakota Magic Casino.

Likewise, Wallflowers will tour to support their greatest hits album. This disc will include unreleased tracks!
