An UPDATE from Gil Pan Zastor, vocalist of Phonetica:
Phonetica was a metal band based out off Central Texas USA.
The band is currently defunct. I relocated in July 2008 to the NYC area, and currently am the frontman for the New Jersey band "Vooddo Terror Tribe", a band very similar in style to Phonetica.
I plan to continue the Phonetica presence as a sort of publishing brand name, as well as applying that title to any of my solo work.
I can be contacted from my personal myspace page (panzastor). That same user ID can be found on any of the popular messengers as well.

Hi Phonetica! Heaven & Earth is on hiatus now as Stuart Smith and Richie Onori have joined forces with bassist Steve Priest to reform "Sweet". For those of you unfamiliar with the band, Sweet originally formed in the early 70s and went on to sell over 40,000,000 albums with 11 International Top Ten Hits such as "Ballroom Blitz", "Little Willy", "Love is Like Oxygen", "Fox on the Run", "Teenage Rampage", "Action", "Blockbuster", "Hellraiser" and many others.
This reincarnation of the band reformed last year, playing their first show in June, and went on to play festivals throughout Canada and the States and had played to over 300,000 people before the year was out. During this tour last year they recorded a live CD available on Amazon entitled "Sweet, Live in America" which has received rave reviews - pick up a copy and please Add Sweet As Your Friend On Myspace!
