STUCK MOJO Secures Australian Deal With RIOT ENTERTAINMENT

August 6, 2008

Atlanta rap/metal pioneers STUCK MOJO have secured a two-album deal with Riot Entertainment.

Riot negotiated the deal with MOJO's home label Napalm Records and the first release will be band's latest offering, "Southern Born Killers", featuring three bonus tracks. A follow-up effort will be released late 2008.

"Southern Born Killers" will be issued in Australia in mid-August.

Commented Riot CEO John Howarth: "It certainly is a pleasure to have a band like STUCK MOJO join the Riot family. They were one of the most innovative bands to ever hit the metal scene and one I have total respect for, and I am a fan of course! Rich Ward is one of today's guitar heroes as he and MOJO have influence many a guitar player and band. I have worked with Rich, Sean and Mike in their previous band, FOZZY and I am really looking forward to now working directly with MOJO and getting them down here for their first tour!"

STUCK MOJO guitarist Rich Ward said: "If you're lucky enough, sometimes in your career you can end up working with your friends. Those who are extraordinarily lucky, will have the opportunity to work with friends who are among the best in the world at what they do. Today, I am happy to announce that I am once again one of those extraordinarily lucky people, as STUCK MOJO have signed an exclusive, multi-album Australian deal with Riot Entertainment!"

In a recent interview with Hit Parader magazine, Ward stated about the songwriting process for the band's follow-up to "Southern Born Killers", "I just started the writing process for the new album and so far the stuff I'm coming up with is the stuff dreams are made of. You know what they say, if you don't love yourself.... I've got the next two months set aside to completely dedicate myself to this album and I've never been more excited about making the doughnuts! You know, almost all artists think that their latest album is their best, or at least they almost always state that in interviews. For most bands, it is usually NOT the case, but it ALWAYS is for us!'
