WHITE WIZZARD - SIT DOWN AND HAVE A BEER WITH THE BAND ON YOUTUBE

Shot last week right before a show, the members of Los Angeles, CA's
preeminent traditional heavy metal band, WHITE WIZZARD sat around the
bar and hung out as the cameras rolled. This new video is a great
introduction to the current lineup of the band, giving you an in depth
look at the personalities of each member. Watch them as they give you
their thoughts on beer, destruction, their link to the old school,
what makes "good" metal and why WHITE WIZZARD are not opposed to
seeing transvestites at their shows. Along with some live performance
footage mixed in for good measure, this video's just like joining the
band for some drinks and shooting the breeze. Catch WHITE WIZZARD's

EARACHE's newest signings, WHITE WIZZARD formed in 2007 and shortly
afterwards recorded their HIGH SPEED GTO demo, which only made it into
the hands of a few select fans. Following a brief period of
inactivity, the demo fell into the hands of Earache Records and the
"High Speed GTO" song was included on HEAVY METAL KILLERS, a
compilation featuring 13 tracks from the best new
traditional-sounding heavy metal bands. The band have since regrouped
around band leader JON LEON with a new line-up. Earache is set to
release the HIGH SPEED GTO tracks as a mini-album this Summer, with
the band
working towards a full album due later in the year.

WHITE WIZZARD's 2009 debut is driven by catchy riffs that aim straight
for the hips and the heart. The band is lighter than the norm -
there's a
nimbleness to the WHITE WIZZARD attack and genuine commercial hooks race
through all seven songs on the HIGH SPEED GTO mini-album.
