News Release about a new release. Michael Knott has recorded a new L.S. Underground record with Josh Lory, Jim Chaffin from the Crucified, Matt Biggers, Daniel Sonner, Rick McDonough and others. It has been in Michael's heart and mind to create an album that would bring awareness to the overwhelming difficulties that U.S. troops encounter upon returning home from combat, especially Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD. PTSD, the leading cause for homelessness as well as alcohol and drug abuse among veterans, is a psychological, as well as neurological disorder, and one that must be dealt with in order for the soldiers to get the treatment that they need, and deserve. This is a heavy subject matter that needs to be addressed and brought to the surface as an honor to those who have served their country. A weighty subject that is pulled to the front line by the heaviest L.S. Underground album to date. Michael feels this is the most important record he has done since "This Is the Healing".
Michael is offering a presale order until October 15 for those who would like to financially help finish and manufacture this album. For $12.00 you will immediately receive a photocopy of a few songs from his lyric book, signed and numbered (in pencil and pen), You will then receive the finished product following completion.

Michael Knott's work has been released to the general market via Warner Brothers (Electra Records), and to the gospel market via Word (Metro One Records). Both markets, and fans as well, have had the opportunity to witness some very groundbreaking and independent releases. Audiences and critics on both sides of the fence are united by Michael Knott's ability to tap the well of emotion connecting all of us. ______________________________________________________________
Michael Knott's many recordings are as varied as the many bands he's fronted: Aunt Betty's, Lifesavers, Lifesavers Underground, Cush, Idle Lovell, Strung Gurus, Bomb Bay Babies, the list goes on and on. Most notably are his heart felt solo works where he can take the listener on an emotional journey from the soft drip of a heart, to the full blown rage of a caged soul. Whatever the emotion, thought, or idea this extremly gifted artist conveys to us, the listener, the human experience in fresh and creative ways.
I find it odd that U2 is getting all the attention for playing at the 20th anniversary of the wall coming down in Germany. For me, it would be far more interesting (and appropriate) if Einstürzende Neubauten played. They could cover a Scorpions song. Someone get me Hasselhoff on the phone!
I think the biggest disease the world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved. I know that I can give love for a minute, for half an hour, for a day, for a month, but I can give. I am very happy to do that, I want to do that. ~Princess Diana~
Everybody wants to be understood Well I can hear you Everybody wants to be loved Don't give up Because you are loved ~Josh Groban~
Hi Michael... experiencing a sudden window of MySpace sociability here, so I happened by, only to discover that a new LSU work is imminent: Wow, I look forward to that! Especially after reading about the ideas behind the release - sounds very valuable and important.
Happy New Year Mike! On my page I have a BBB "Energy" video up that Jamie made if you haven't seen it. You can also YouTube it. Very positive responses from fans :o) ~Tiphanie~
Thank you for the add and for your support in this vital cause to increase the effort to EDUCATE our youth of the dangers of drugs and violence. Our future generation depends on the youth of today. Alcohol and Drugs are plaguing our society and we need to attack it head on where it is digging its roots; with our youth in our schools. Knowledge and Truth are the key to help them stay clean. They deserve the TRUTH about all of the drugs they will incounter. They are simply too smart to accept the old 'Just Say NO' adage. Todays teens want to KNOW for themselves, and a rebellious society we have created. They will seek the truth themselves and we must educate them with it. Can you handle the truth? That's what they respect. That's what they deserve! A NEW D.A.R.E. REQUIRES A NEW APPROACH Please help spread the word and tell your friends about D.A.R.E. Feel free to visit D.A.R.E. online at www. dare. com to show your support and/or shop for official D.A.R.E. merchandise. Peace :-)
