SPEEDEALER - BURNED ALIVE

(NYC) For SPEEDEALER, a Texas band who play 250 - 300 gigs a year for the past 7 years, who've toured the U.S., Canada, Europe, Russia and Japan, and hit the road with Motorhead, Pantera, Reverend Horton Heat, The Misfits, The Supersuckers and Nashville Pussy, this is a CD whose time has come.
Fans of Speedealer will rejoice in the 40-minute hellfire of BURNED ALIVE, containing blistering live versions of songs from their previous 4 releases (including the out-of-print debut on Spanish Fly records, the Royalty Records releases REO SPEEDEALER and HERE COMES DEATH, and the Jason Newsted-produced SECOND SIGHT on Palm Pictures).

Also included are live songs from the new Speedealer studio cd BLEED, just released on Seattle's Dead Teenager Records (home to Zeke, TAD, Camarosmith, etc). Contact Flyprrr@aol.com for promos.

SPEEDEALER, who hail from Lubbock and Dallas TX, split and reformed recently, and have since returned to their relentless touring schedule.

As guitarist Jeff Hirshberg says, "The name (Speedealer) is indicative of the musical content, so there isn't much of a reason to delve into an over-the-top, adjective-laden description. Either one 'gets it', or does not."

SPEEDEALER: BLEED

Seattle, WA – Dead Teenager Records announces the release of Speedealer's new album, Bleed, today. The album will hit the streets on Sept 2, 2003. Tour dates are lined up through the end the year. Marketing and radio promotions are being handled in-house. Dead Teenager Records is distributed by Nail/Allegro.

Bleed, was recorded on June 10th and 11th of 2003 at Top Hat studios in Austin, TX. "We think Bleed sounds like, for better or worse, how a Speedealer record should” front man Jeff Hirshberg enthuses “-- like a sonic slop of shit that somehow works!" The album was recorded, mixed and produced by J.D. Pinkus, former bassist of the Butthole Surfers, current member of Honky. Pinkus has worked with bands such as Dixie Witch, Aereola 51 and Daddy Longhead to name a few.

The band has weathered a number of record deals with labels of various sizes and statures. They are now at home with start up rock/punk/metal label Dead Teenager Records. "As far as we're concerned, Dead Teenager is the only label that we have been associated with that truly 'gets it' " guitar player Eric Schmidt relays. "It is a rare thing to find a group of people who are all on the same page," he continues, "usually only one or a select few at a label understand what your band is trying to achieve. But [label heads] Ben and Donny do indeed know what it's all about."

Speedealer first formed in Lubbock, TX in the early '90s. After a brief hiatus, the band re-formed in Dallas, TX. A number of players have rotated in and out of the band, but this has not stopped them from releasing albums and touring consistently. Speedealer performs approximately 275 - 300 shows a year. They have toured through the U.S., Canada, Europe, Russia and Japan. Bands they have performed and toured with include acts like Motorhead, Pantera, Reverend Horton Heat, C.O.C., Fu Manchu, The Misfits, Joey Ramone, Neurosis, Voivod, Zeke, Morbid Angel, The Supersuckers, Today's the Day, and Nashville Pussy.

Touring and press coverage goes hand in hand and good press has not eluded the band. To the contrary - rock writers embrace the band's raw and immense sound. "[Vocalist Jeff Hirshberg] rages, growls, and threatens like a Texas-reared Lemmy Kilmister," Magnet recently opined. And Seattle Weekly thrills "If I'm going to listen to songs about kicking ass and getting plastered the guys who sing 'em had better sound like they routinely kick ass and get plastered, damn it. Speedealer does." While Alternative Press sums it up succinctly with
"Slashing guitars, crashing beats and bellowing vocals--if you like it rough
and heavy, Speedealer are your band."

Speedealer are Harden Harrison on drums, Eric Schmidt on guitar and Jeff
Hirshberg on vocals/guitar. The 12 tracks on the album are 1. "Bleed," 2. "Rock
and Roll," 3. "Choked," 4. "Wasted," 5. "On My Way," 6. "When the Demon is at
Your Door," 7. "The Inventor of Evil," 8. "Gone," 9. "All Night Long," 10.
"Tomorrow," 11. "Come on and Kill Me" and 12. "Rise Up (and Fall)."

Speedealer also have a live album coming out this fall on Radical Records
(www.radicalrecords.com) titled Burned Alive. The album is a live recording of
the band’s 2003 4th of July show at CBGB’s in New York City.
