Skillet Prepare to Release Awake
Grammy-nominated
alternative outfit, SKILLET, prepare to release AWAKE, the
follow up to their 2006 breakthrough project, Comatose. The band, John
Cooper (singer/bassist), Korey Cooper (keyboardist/vocalist), Ben Kasica (guitarist),
and Jen Ledger (dummer/vocaist) teamed up with all-star producer Howard Benson
(Daughtry, My Chemical Romance, The All-American Rejects), to deliver an album
that is sure to have plenty of anthems, smash singles, and concert
sing-a-longs. "Monster,"
the first single off the upcoming album, is loaded with towering riffs and
unbridled rock n' roll abandon. The band is scheduled to play a couple festivals
around the US before joining the Alive & Awake Tour which will kick off in
late September and run through November.
Check out the band's MySpace to listen to the single, "Monster," and to see when SKILLET will be in a playing near you. Make sure to pick up your copy of AWAKE, in stores everywhere August 25th!
