ALTER BRIDGE Announce UK Arena Tour; Shinedown & Halestorm To Join Them!

 
ALTER BRIDGE are thrilled to announce they will be returning to the UK for a six-date arena tour this October. The upcoming tour marks the band’s first time back in the UK since November 2011. In the interim, guitarist Mark Tremonti released his debut solo record 'All I Was', singer/guitarist Myles Kennedy returned fronting Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators, and drummer Scott Phillips teamed up with friends in Sevendust to form Projected.

Currently, the band - completed by bassist Brian Marshall - are hard at work writing/recording their new album, set for release via Roadrunner Records this September. 

Frontman Myles Kennedy exclaims, "Thrilled to be returning to the UK with SHINEDOWN and HALESTORM later this year! I’m looking forward to reconnecting with the part of the world that embraced ALTER BRIDGE from the start".

REVOLVER Announces That The Hottest Chick In Hard Rock & Heavy Metal Is ________________!

On September 4, the seventh annual "Hottest Chicks in Hard Rock and Metal" Revolver Magazine issue hits newsstands. According to The Pulse Of Radio, HALESTORM singer Lzzy Hale has been named the "Hottest Chick In Hard Rock"! Hale tops a list of 25 women that includes current tourmate and EVANESCENCE singer Amy Lee at No. 2 and "Gossip Girl" star Taylor Momsen at No. 3.

Hale says she's pleased to top the survey and gave us her perspective on it. "My view of it really is to make sure that you're good at what you do, and so that when people actually want to look beyond the centerfold [laughs, that you're actually good and you have something to back it up," she says. "I think that most of us are really trying to push the envelope and, you know, make sure that we're musicians first and that the sex is just kind of the icing on the cake."

Revolver magazine's Top 10 "Hottest Chicks In Hard Rock" are:

01. Lzzy Hale (HALESTORM)
02. Amy Lee (EVANESCENCE)
03. Taylor Momsen (PRETTY RECKLESS)
04. Ash Costello (NEW YEAR'S DAY)
05. Brooklyn (PICTURE ME BROKEN)
06. Maria Brink (IN THIS MOMENT)
07. Kimberly Freeman (ONE-EYED DOLL)
08. Anissa Rodriguez (EYES SET TO KILL)
09. Alexia Rodriguez (EYES SET TO KILL)
10. Cristina Scabbia (LACUNA COIL)
