Hook Line & Nothing

Welcome to BLIXTAR RECORDZ, we are proud to bring you The Warren Hales Band! Warren's new CD, Hook, Line and Nothing is kick ass in your face emotion! Here at Blixtar Records, we were blown away when we first heard his demos and said - who is this kid and why haven't we heard of him? - well, here's why! Warren was born and raised in Cherry Hill, NJ. He started playing guitar in 6th grade. In 7th grade he saw this little skinny Chinese kid with hair down to his ass just ripping, Warren promptly said, fuck that I'm playing bass! By the way, that little dude ripping was Reggie Wu lead guitarist and founder of Heaven's Edge! Warren was now a bass player and was soon in a band. Warren quickly grew tired of guitar player's egos and stopped jamming. He resurfaced to give it one more shot in 1981 and with friends formed Voyager. The band was together 2 years and had lots of fun. Warren gave up music for good this time, or so we thought! After a good heartbreak or two, Warren grabbed a guitar again and the songs just started to flow Warren says, 'I didn't even give writing music a thought until after I wrote my first song, I was really heartbroken at the time, and didn't even realize what I had done.' Well, all I can say is thank God for that bitch whoever she was! Before he knew it Warren had 20 songs and was itching to record, but couldn't afford new strings half the time let alone studio time. So back to Jersey he went and within a month he hooked up with guess who? That's right, Reggie Wu, whose band had been recently dropped by a major label we won't mention the asshole's name. Warren was writing a lot of great ballads at this point but was itching to rock um out and started taking lessons from Reggie and before he knew it all clicked! During this time Reggie had been building his studio and it was time to start tracking. Warren had previously recorded two song on his CD ('Shining Strong and Loves Little Tragedies') with a friend of his, Dr. James Ioebell that he had met where else? Hooters! Warren and Reggie started tracking January 22, 1998 and finished the album October 8, 1998. From there Blixtar Recordz took over and had the CD cover designed and pressed by December 10, 1999. We are more than ecstatic with the CD and know you will be too! We're happy to let you know that Warren is 3 songs into his next CD with Blixtar Recordz and we can tell ya it took him all of 3 second to capture the intensity of the first album! CDs can be purchased thru Blixtar Recordz, CDBABY.com, iTunes and Spotify.
