Retroactive Records news.

"FINALLY! I have signed with RetroActive
Records, it's official. Yay! no more "deal pending", it's DONE. New
music on the way from RexCarrollBand, The Heal, King James, and
Whitecross! Today is a good day to be a musician,"

This is what Rex Carroll posted.

I think it's good news, special when there will be a new Whitecross.

That is very cool, but I am a little hesitant to think there will be new music from Whitecross or King James. For some reason I expect Retroative will probably reissue albums from those bands. It would be cool to see Rex get his "The Heal" stuff released.

Actually, I got an email from Retroactive Records announcing what Vonnie is talking about. Here it is copied and pasted:

I have never known Retroactive to announce anything that they were not 100% sure of.

I can't wait for the Rex Carroll Band release.
I love the heavy blues rock

New Whitecross?!?!?! Now I'm interested!


Fundy

I've gotten the same e-mail.

I'm looking forward to the Rex Carroll band CD.
I've hear him this playing live, almost two years ago.

Hope there will come a new Whitecrosss !?!?
I'm sure all the Whitecross fans love there comes a new Whitecross.

New King James?

Remastered version of "The Fall"?

NEW WHITECROSS?!?!?!?!

DUDES!

I'm sold

Somebody catch me! [Falls straight back]

I thought this is very good news.
Like I said this is cool.

I'd be most interested in that heavy blues album.

TallTyrion, you are a blues fan isn't it?
There's not much christian blues isn't it?

I really like blues based rock, and blues that has a really rockin' edge to it, but I tend to loose interest in an entire album of straight blues. But all that aside, I listened to most of the songs Rex has posted on his myspace page (there are several of them), and they sound fantastic! Much more rockin' type blues, like I dig. Check it out.

You can also hear his stuff from "The Heal", which reminds me a little of the second King James album (only with Rex on vocals, I believe). It also sounds very cool.
