WARCON Enterprises Partners With Taste Of Chaos Tour To Release Compilation CDs
Website: http://www.warconent.com/ New York, NY—WARCON Enterprises, the new teen and young adult entertainment venture launched earlier this year by Kevin Lyman (Warped Tour) and Bob Chiappardi (Concrete Marketing), has announced that it is experiencing significant growth in all areas of business operations. WARCON secured compilation CD rights to this year’s highly-successful Taste of Chaos Tour. Co-President Bob Chiappardi explains, “TOC is a very exciting entity. Creating records under this brand hit right into the pocket that WARCON is all about. It is a perfect marriage.” Created and run by WARCON partner Kevin Lyman, Freeze Artist Management’s John Reese, and CAA’s Darryl Eaton, the Taste of Chaos Tour was this winter’s hottest live event featuring bands like The Used and My Chemical Romance. Expected to sell 100,000 tickets, nearly 200,000 kids attended the 38 dates across US and Canada. “This partnership allows us to extend the Taste of Chaos brand while developing WARCON in our planned direction. It is an easy fit, because all the players involved are like family,” said Lyman. The record will feature bands from this year’s TOC Tour as well as bands that fit into the WARCON/TOC post-hardcore scene. The concept is to stay focused on our audience and to keep delivering lifestyle content, whether music, visual or fashion, that is meaningful to their world. Warcon also has revealed plans for a “Taste of Christmas” CD that will include the tour’s biggest post-hardcore/screamo acts. With artists already signed up for the project and in the studio, the album is on a fast track to be completed this summer. To help facilitate production, WARCON plans to contract studio facilities to record bands on this year’s Warped Tour to track songs during the tour. Both this and the TOC compilation are slated for a fall 2005 release on Fontana/Universal in the US and on EMI/Canada. The rest of world distribution has not been finalized as of this date. In other WARCON news, Flagship bands Bleed the Dream and Opiate for the Masses both released albums this week. Bleed the Dream, off to a strong start at retail, entered the Soundscan New Artist chart at #39. WARCON has also announced the signing of a third act My American Heart, an emerging post-hardcore band with a tremendous fan following. The band is currently in the studio recording their debut album which is scheduled for a fall 2005 release.
