The history of Rough Cutt continues to unfold at the DDR Music Group with the release of 'Rhythm Machine' from the THE PERRY MCCARTY YEARS.
Featuring ex-Warrior and Atomic Playboys frontman and vocalist Parramore "Perry" McCarty, as well as founding members Amir Derakh and Matt Thorne, 17 songs have surfaced and are ready to explode in the listening device of your pleasure.
For those that may not know, in 1987, Paul Shortino decided to leave Rough Cutt to join the multi-platinum recording artist Quiet Riot. This left Rough Cutt looking for a new frontman to move forward. After a nationwide search for a new vocalist, the band decided Perry was their man. They entered the studio with Ronnie James Dio (who recorded and produced the first three cuts on the album "Dynamite," "Can't Live Without It" and "Sex In Motion") to forge ahead in a new direction.
According to Amir Derakh, "When Paul left for Quiet Riot, we tried to pick up the pieces and change things up a bit. We enlisted Perry and took a shot at being a four-piece. These are all the recordings we made to shop to labels for a new deal. Some songs had a lot of potential, some not so much, but we wanted the fans to be able to hear them all.
"
This is definitely one for the history books for any fan of Rough Cutt and Perry McCarty. It was a short-lived time, but it was full of creativity, songwriting, and recording, which eventually saw Matt and Amir move on to Jailhouse, and Perry moved on to join Steve Stevens and The Atomic Playboys.
DDR would personally like to thank Paul Shortino, who graciously gave us his blessing to release this album for the fans to hear. Please make no mistake: the big three—Paul, Amir, and Matt—have some more surprises up their sleeves in the near future.
Rough Cutt is alive and well with Paul at the helm, and hopefully, by now, you've picked up your copy of the ferocious new album "III"; if not, what are you waiting for? Grab a copy of the new Rough Cutt release and a lost gem from the vaults of Hollywood that many never knew existed.
This CD is silver-pressed and officially licensed by the band. It comes packaged in an 8-page booklet.
