Official Press Release

SWEET CYANIDE to release Their Self-Titled DEBUT ALBUM

Sweet Cyanide Releases July 7th On Break Down Lane Music HOLLYWOOD, CA (May 4, 2009) – New York’s post-hardcore outfit SWEETCYANIDE will kick-off the summer with the release of their self-titled debut CD, Sweet Cyanide on July 7th on Break Down Lane Music.

SWEET CYANIDE has a knack for blending the energy of more abrasive bands with great pop hooks, spiked with hair-raising guitar solos. The first single aptly titled Crash Theory will hit airwaves late August in time for the band to announce tour dates. “Crash Theory was written about a person who purposely destroys the relationships around themselves just to thrive on the feeling of loneliness and the high of putting it backtogether,” explains singer Sal Scoca.

SWEET CYANIDE is comprised of four individualistic, yet united stimulation junkies. “All four of us are literally insane—but each in a totally different way,” laughs Angelo Fariello. The bassist grew up idolizing Nikki Sixx, Paul McCartney and Gene Simmons, and loves that SC’s live show is “like a punch in the face.” He terms lead singer, Sal Scoca, an evil genius, getting inside your head and making you believe you’re orange. SWEET CYANIDE is the collective endeavor of members from two NYC based bands that are well recognized on the regional scene, Crashbox and Moment Theory. Sal Scoca (Vocals/ Guitar) and Angelo Fariello (Bass), both from Crashbox developed a solid bond with Mike Bambace (Drums) and Joe Salvatore (Guitar) from Moment Theory. Sweet Cyanide carries a light sexual theme on the record dealing with the typical rock concept of sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll but with the bands own little twist. It is a solid and true rock record in the veins of Motley Crue, Velvet Revolver and all that came before them that make this album a must-have for your collection!
