The bands second release, ‘Chickenfoot III’ is to be released worldwide on September 26th. It will be preceded by a single, ‘Bigfoot’, on August 2nd.
The album’s complete tracklisting is as follows:
Last Temptation /Alright, Alright / Different Devil / Up Next /Lighten Up /Come Closer / Three and a Half Letters / Bigfoot / Dubai Blues / Something Going Wrong
According to vocalist Sammy Hagar, this sophomore release is called ‘Chickenfoot III’ since “it’s so good, the songs are so tight…like we jumped right past having to make a second record.”

On July 14th 2011, rock legend Jimmy Page launched his first official website.
In addition to the usual discography etc, the new site offers the fan a detailed history of Page’s work from The Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin and beyond. Curated by Page himself, the site is a treasure trove for fans and musical history buffs alike, containing a complete archive of photos, live dates that Page has played (including complete setlists wherever possible) and much more.
A special ‘On This Day’ section has plans to feature unseen video and audio, as well as anecdotes personally written by Page. This section will likely be the site’s big draw, since there will be no archiving. Each of the daily featured items will be available for reading/streaming for 24 hours only.
Users are required to register before viewing the site, but in exchange for an email address, there’s hours of reading and viewing pleasure within. All details are kept confidentally, with only the users’ chosen log-in name visible on the site.

AOR/melodic rock giants Europe are on the verge of returning to the studio to record a new album.
The band are aiming to start recording new material for what will be their ninth studio album in October 2011. Although few details are known at this time, the band expect the album to be completed in time for an April 2012 release.
Production duties on the new tracks are to be handled by Kevin Shirley, whose previous credits include Aerosmith, Baby Animals, Our Lady Peace, SOiL, Dream Theater, Rush & Joe Bonamassa. Earlier in 2011, Shirley produced the second release by Bonamassa’s all-star band Black Country Communion.
Before commencing work on the new album, Europe are to complete the rest of their current tour.
Next month also sees the release of a live Europe DVD recorded at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire. A deluxe version of ‘Live Look at Eden’ will also include a CD soundtrack of the live show, plus a copy of Europe’s last studio work, ‘Last Look At Eden’. This is bound in a 140 page coffee-table book of photographs taken by Dennis O’Regan.
Europe’s 2009 release – ‘Last Look At Eden, released by Frontiers Records – was a huge hit in Sweden, reaching the number one spot in the album chart and also became a top 40 success in Germany, Italy and Switzerland.
