Got some exciting news ahead.......but first, here is a special Attica Rage Christmas card for you, sent with our Cheers, Beers & Best Wishes for the Christmas Season!!
LEGENDARY ROCK AND METAL SLEEVE ARTIST
DESIGNS NEW ATTICA RAGE LOGO
AND ALBUM COVER ART!
We have been holding onto something very special for a few months now but we feel it is time to share and reveal all! Attica Rage has been working with one of rock and metal's most legendary sleeve artists - the creator of one of the most iconic designs in Planet Rock - and he has designed not only a brand new Attica Rage logo but painted what will be the cover art for our forthcoming debut album "RUIN NATION".
Here are the two dates that will see the amazing artwork announced and revealed!
FRIDAY 21 DECEMBER at GLASGOW BARFLY SHOW:
Special announcement will be made on stage at our Christmas show
at Glasgow Barfly with Maiden Scotland (see details below),
revealing the artist's identity and artwork!
SATURDAY 22 DECEMBER on MYSPACE.COM/ATTICARAGE:
The brand new Attica Rage logo and album artwork
will be unveiled for the first time, exclusively on http://www.myspace.com/atticarage
