We’re incredibly proud to announce “Carr Jam - 21”.
A new project to celebrate the legacy of the late Eric Carr (KISS
1980-1991).
Eric tragically passed away 30 years ago and we wanted to do
something special.
Together with some of the most well known and KISS inspired
musicians, we’re going to record and release 2 songs written by Eric
Carr plus 1 KISS related bonus song.
All proceeds from the sales will be donated to St. Jude’s Children
Hospital.
The people behind the project is: Gustav Kronfelt (video producer),
Jolle Atlagic (Electric Boys, The Quill), Jesper Lindgren (Velvet
Insane), Ryan Roxie (Alice Cooper) and Martin Ekelund (Bonafide). We
will release more members but also more info about how this is going
to be launched later this year! Stay tuned, more news coming soon...

Todd Kerns' MINEFIELD covers All American Man on new album
From
:
KISS Related Recordings
Today MINEFIELD have released their debut album, which features
a cover of KISS "All American Man"
(with Todd Kerns on lead vocals).
The band is put together in 2020 by Brandon Fields, who is the lead
guitarist (and vocals) in Detroit rock band Whiskey A Go Go.
He has designed it to be more of a musical collective rather than a
band or solo project, and to Kiss Related Recordings it is
interesting to see that this band / album line up also features Todd
Kerns (vocals / bass : Bruce Kulick band, Slash ft Myles Kennedy and
The Conspirators), Jeremy Asbrock (guitar / vocals : Ace Frehley
band & Gene Simmons band) and Matt Starr (drums : Mr.Big and Ace
Frehley band).
MINEFIELD's debut album is released on vinyl LP and CD and available
at
www.minefieldusa.com. The digital release is available at
Amazon.com and
Spotify.
In related news, Matt Starr (Mr.Big and Ace Frehley band) also
guests on 4 tracks of
SEVEN RAVES "Barely Hanging On" album,
which is released May 3, 2021. Seven Ravens is a brand new project,
based on the songs of James LePak and Scott Bazzett, mixed by Pete
Newdeck, mastered by Harry Hess, and executed by an impressive
all-star cast... (click
