Sung with a Michigan-rock vengeance from the point of view of a soldier up to his helmet in a firefight, the Bob Seger System's 1968 grenade 2 + 2 = ? basically a searing fuzztone riff and hellish-chant chorus now sounds like great out-of-Iraq roll. It's also way too elusive on vinyl and CD, so Scott Morgan, one of Seger's killer peers in the Sixties and Seventies, has cut the song with his band Powertrane for imminent release. While you wait to buy, play it loud at myspace.com/scottmorgandetroit.

Hydromatics tour manager Benno Goldewijk has been tragically killed in an accident while breaking down the Rolling Stones stage in Spain. The full story is here. Benno was an experienced tour manager, friend and assistant to the Hydromatics and was involved in mastering the soon-to-be-released new studio album. He'll be sadly missed when the Hydros hit the road later this year.

SCOTT MORGAN
With a career that began as a teen prodigy with Michigan's Rationals
in the '60s, Scott Morgan has been a long-term torchbearer for
gritty, soulful hard rock and rhythm and blues.
Over the course of innumerable albums and shows with The Rationals,
Sonics Rendezvous Band, The Scott Morgan Band, Dodge Main, Scots
Pirates, Powertrane and the Hydromatics, the singer-guitarist has
been hailed as an innovator in green-eyed soul and a true rocking
original.
Based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, but equally busy in Europe, he's
teaming with the leader of Sweden's Hellacopters, Nick Royale, as The
Solution, to turn on a new generation to the sounds of Motown and
Stax. AFTER European festival shows with The Solution
(supporting The "Communicate!" album and its Swedish top five single
"I Have to Quit You"), Scott keeps forging ahead. The solution has
Just released their second studio album "The Solution Will Not Be
Televised" in Sweden to critical acclaim and heavy sales. Scott is
back from a promo trip to Stockholm, including the Swedish Morning Show
(Nyhets Morgon) and Swedish National Radio.
His US band Powertrane has unleashed their first studio album
of asphalt tough, road rock entitled "Beyond the Sound".
Also out is a live album with Radio Birdman's Deniz Tek (culled
from a tour of France and Italy) titled "3 Assassins", and a live in
Michigan Powertrane album, "Ann Arbor Revival" with The Stooges' Ron Asheton, Radio Birdman’s Deniz Tek, and the Cult Heroes' Hiawatha.
Also out is a live vinyl EP from his second Euro band the Hydromatics
who have recorded three studio releases to their credit. The Hydromatics
recently unveiled their third studio album, "The Earth Is Shaking" for
Suburban Records and went out on a one-month Western European tour.
In 2006, the Sonic's Rendezvous Band box set was released on Easy Action
and became their top seller. This year you can look forward to a Rationals
official release on Ace Records.
Scott continues storming stages from Ann Arbor to Europe, playing the
good stuff like you thought nobody did anymore.
Alright then! Rush’N Attack from the northern part of Holland has a brand new EP called “White Smoke“. Its Rush’N Attack their second EP following on the “Donut Hole EP” which was released in February 2008. We from Crucial Attack Records are really proud with this new release!
