\m/ 80's metal \m/

This CD is a compilation of 3 previous LP & cassette only releases by the band. Two newer tracks were added for this release

For 20 years that has been the essence of LAWSUIT, the hard-living, hard-hearted hard rock project led by irrepressible Canadian guitarist Shaky.

Over the years, Shaky and LAWSUIT have shared beers and stages with some of rock's greatest names, playing legendary hit 'n' run gigs that always made their mark.

Fans the world over have sought copies of the group's highly prized albums - Bad Boys of Rock (1983), Three the Hard Way (1986) and Strictly Business (1991). Collectors have searched even harder to find songs included on 92 CITI FM's Prime Cuts album, on two KIS-97 Homegrown projects and a Canadian music business sampler compiled for MIDEM '91.

To please those fans - both old and new - who just cant get enough of LAWSUIT, Shaky Records is pleased to announce the 2004 release of:

STONED TO DEATH

A 20th Anniversary, Limited Edition, Greatass Tits compilation featuring two brand spankin' new tracks:
Skin to Win and Love Song in F#


Plus: 10 (count' em) of Lawsuit's hardest rocking cuts, dating right back to 1983, including MuchMusic video singles Hard on Love and Hit 'N' Run

All tracks have been digitally remastered from analog masters which had been missing for some time (call 'em The Lost Tapes). When they were discovered, it was found that they were stored on September 11, 1989.

Eerie stuff, says Shaky:

"That wasn't my first association with the likes of Saddam and terrorists. During the first Gulf War in 1991, almost nobody attended the MIDEM conference in France, because they were afraid to fly. So nobody heard our music on that year's compilation. The 9-11 date seems appropriate!"

SKIN TO WIN, the lead track from Stoned to Death, is dedicated to the art of urban pole dancing and features a LAWSUIT lineup comprised of Joey Saltel (vocals), Spider Sinnaeve (bass), Brent Fits (drums) and, of course, the mighty Shaky on all guitars.

Past members of LAWSUIT include:

DRUMS - Brent Fitz (Union, Vince Neil); Darrell Dwarf (Killer Dwarfs); Billy Carmassi (Aldo Nova); Chang Meadmore (Veal, Chocolate Bunnies From Hell); Al Webster (Colin James).

BASS - Ken 'Spider' Sinnaeve (Streetheart, Tom Cochrane, Kim Mitchell, Loverboy); Randy Booth (Eagle & Hawk).

VOCALS - Joey Saltel (the longest-serving member of the band); Brook Monkman (H.E. Donist); Ernst Gruhn (Fury, Labyrinth)

ALL GUITARS - Shaky

All of the above are featured on LAWSUIT's new 20th Anniversary, Limited Edition, Greatass Tits compilation:
