SexTapes Releases Self-Titled Debut Album Via ToneRiot Records

Los Angeles, CA. (Top40 Charts/ ToneRiot Records) - ToneRiot Records in association with BCD Music Group have announced the release date for the SexTapes debut album on November 11, 2008. The album will be available through iTunes (worldwide), Best Buy stores, FYE, Borders Books, Wherehouse Records, Amazon.com, and more.

Lead vocalist Chris Pitman shares, "I'm glad to finally get this album out there as it was just finished this summer. Between my involvement with Guns N' Roses and the band's high expectations for a solid and unique hard rock sound, we're stoked to finally have a great record that we're proud to release to our fans."

Music all sounds the same today, so SexTapes has created what they would brand as future hard rock.
The music is best classified as a bit psychotic, but with plenty of melody mixing up the punk and psychedelic overtones. SexTapes consists of Kelly Wheeler on guitars, Marko Fox on bass, Ryan Brown on the drums and Chris Pitman on lead vocals and guitar synth.

The band originated out of sheer perverse amusement with a series of informal jams by Wheeler and Fox in a cluttered garage. There, amid a bewildering array of audio electronics in every conceivable state of condition, promising sonic experiments continued with slated vocalist Pitman's enthusiastic blessings, even though he was about to embark on a mammoth tour as an integral part of Guns N' Roses (GNR). Pitman is also a member of the legendary rock band. Between playing multiple instruments (for studio recording and live in concert), co-writing and co-producing for the new GNR album, "Chinese Democracy," he is also a co-writer with front man Axl Rose of the song, "If The World," in the new Warner Bros. Pictures and Ridley Scott film, "Body Of Lies." The interrelated relationship between the two bands means that all in-store SexTapes albums will also be available along with GNR albums.

Recorded at The Pass Studios in Hollywood where rock legends like Smashing Pumpkins recorded "Zeitgeist" and The Red Hot Chili Peppers recorded "Stadium Arcadium," the debut album was produced and mixed by Chris Pitman. All songs are written by Kelly Wheeler and Chris Pitman.

Anyone been able to find this on iTunes today? I haven't...

/jarmo

Ok, that clears it up. Thanks!

I wanted the kit including the hood for $30 but it's just for domestic orders  :'(

it's a cool name, sure but the problem is it routes all the email to my spam box!!!  :rant: i just realized it!   

if anyone got this please post a review, thanks!

I just received a few promo copies to give away at the Greek CD Release parties...

I'll let you know ASAP, but please consider the fact that I'm opening a new business in 2 days... :peace:

OVERSEAS SHIPPING IS NOW AVAILABLE through http://sextapesband.com  :yes:


There were a few minor glitches in the ordering system in the beginning but it appears they've all been corrected.

Try again.  : ok:

I can't find it on itunes..
 :no:

Being outside U.S., i can't download from amazon.

Is there any place where i can buy it digitally today?

Patience.  Chris says SOON is the iTunes SexTapes word.  :yes:

Bought it off of Amazon as a digital download (only $8.99)

Very, very cool album.  Only listened to it once so far but it's a really cool album.  Don't even know how to describe it.  Maybe David Bowie meets Tool.  Chris has a pretty good voice, and the music itself is both funky and heavy, Pitman is a very talented dude

SEXTAPES is now available on iTunes!!!!  ;D

I just bought it and it's downloading now!!!

It cost $9.90 (USA $) in the iTunes store.  To find it I had to type SexTapes (one word) in the search thing.


I've already ordered the $30 Special Limited Edition from  http://sextapesband.com  to get the dvd and hoodie and poster too.  : ok:

Singled Out: SexTapes

11/17/2008

(PR) Welcome to Singled Out! where we ask artists to tell us the inside story of their latest single. Today Chris Pitman and Kelly Wheeler from SexTapes tells us about "Medicine Man" from their brand new album. You may recognize Chris' name as he's also a member of Guns N' Roses. SexTapes is a band that Chris cofounded with Kelly Wheeler who also serves as his songwriting partner in crime as well. The sound you can expect from SexTapes is a cross between Jane's Addiction, Led Zeppelin and Queen with a modern twist. We now turn it over Chris and Kelly for the story:

Chris Pitman: Medicine Man was evoked by a monstrous guitar riff by Kelly Wheeler. It conjured images of the Spanish Moors in battle in the early centuries, to me anyways, and thus I thought it was important to have a battle cry. While I was working out the vocals and lyrics it seemed to focus on a single, older man, filled with wisdom. In the bridge section, there is an instrumental breakdown. It was there that a drumming tom-tom roll was placed, that sounded like an ancient Indian ritual evocation. We then added Indian shakers for effect, and then the chilling battle cry. And there is the inspiration for Medicine Man.

Kelly Wheeler: I came up w/ the Medicine Man riff back in the day when I was playing w/ Danny (Carey of Tool). I love eastern harmonies and this line was always one of my favorites. I started to flesh it out when I added the rest of the guitar arrangements and the driving drums on the song demo I recorded. During production, Chris put together the killer descending Queen-like chorus arrangement from layers of my guitars, which really tied it all together. Chris just slammed it with the vocals and lyrics for Medicine Man! He really brought out the exotic feeling I had in mind for the song with his images of a Native American spiritual leader. The finishing touches like the tribal drums, using the ancient word, Heyah (which translates as "God," or "The Great Spirit"), and his excellent mixing job, make the song the centerpiece of the album.

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and learn more about the album - right here!

Just as we were ready to sit down to our Thanksgiving meal, the doorbell rings and it's the postal delivery guy dropping off my order from ToneRiot Records.

The look of bewilderment/horror on my family's faces when I held up the hoodie with the words SEXTAPES emblazoned across the front has certainly made this a Thanksgiving we will not soon forget!!!  :hihi:
