**SIN DEALER NEWS**

TORONTO, ON.– May 6th, 2008 — “If you were to take a can of Sabbath, a can of AC/DC, crack a couple Motorhead records, and stir them in a pot, you'd get Sin Dealer – they play hard rock with balls, the way it's meant to be, and it definitely comes through on ‘Dying to Live,’” – Greg Harris

2 albums into Sin Dealer’s career, singer Eric Kuthe, guitarist Ron Bechard, bassist Frank Sargeant and drummer Jeff Zurba are generating the kind of hype that it takes most bands a decade to get going: the last year has seen a new kick-ass CD entitled "Dying To Live" (reviews http://www.metalqueenmgmt.ca/sdf.doc), playing shows with legends like Prong, W.A.S.P.and Teenage Head, and it only gets better…

On May 19, 2008, Joey Belladonna takes over the Reverb to rip through a classic Anthrax set, and he’s got Sin Dealer leading the local support! Tickets are $23 from Ticketweb. com, Rotate This and the Big Bop Box Office.

Comprised of members of Edwin, Sea of Green, Sons of Otis and Plasma Blast, Sin Dealer are a straight-up hard rock band with a blue collar work ethic and a classic rock atmosphere. They play windows down, pedal to the metal highway cruising music full of big riffs and sing along choruses. Rock n’ roll the way it was meant to be played, stripped down and raw!

Joey Belladonna not enough for you? After holding themselves in London, Ontario's top 10 radio metal charts for 2 months, check the guys out on June 20th at London’s The Embassy opening for Drowning Pool and again with Drowning Pool in Toronto at the Annex WreckRoom on June 21st!

With new songs for their fans, they’re gearing up for a busy summer, Sin Dealer style…

“Dealers are purveyors of what you really desire. Pushers, on the other hand, force you to take what they have. In a music industry accused of pushing the latest trend and focusing on replicating the current fad there is at least one band focused on dealing in their own niche. Sin Dealer are providing real rock fans what they truly desire, their sophomore opus Dying To Live.” – Eric Peltier

Get your tickets NOW and be there early for merch giveaways and to catch all the bands: Blackened, Caym, Redeemer, Sin Dealer and Joey Belladonna.
