The Vacancies
A Beat Missing Or A Silence Added
from: BLACKHEART RECORDS
BLACKHEART RECORDS is proud to announce the release of the new CD by Clevelnd's, The Vacancies. The CD entitled "A Beat Missing Or A Silence Added." is produced by JOAN JETT and KENNY LAGUNA.
"The Vacancies are an incredible live band," says Jett. "They have great songs with excellent lyrics that apply to people's everyday lives."
The Vacancies met Jett after she heard their 2002 Gutpunch CD and chose them to open for her in Cleveland and Cincinnati. Jett kept in touch and eventually offered the band a modest one-album deal that will pay off later if it works out and won't create a debt if it doesn't.
