WINGER IV HITTING THE AIRWAVES AND TOUR: December 11, 2006 Hollywood, CA - WINGER's been busy with their new release WINGER IV on Shrapnel Records - A solid rock album with emphasis on our Military and leaving politics at the door, Kip had a vision to support the American troops that are standing ground in Iraq. “I had been doing solo shows at Military bases and in speaking with many of the soldiers, it touched me” explains Kip. One day I woke up and knew what I wanted to do for an album so I called up Reb to start writing. All music and lyrics by WINGER's guitarist Reb Beach and vocalist/bassist Kip Winger - The album examines what it must be like if it was us over in Iraq and realities of war. Winger's lyrics were motivated by playing for our Military at the bases and wanting to capture the lyrics from the perspective of the soldier. Songs like Generica, M16 and Blue Suede Shoes are some of the military inspired songs seen though the eyes of a soldier at war. The album artwork is handled by Ethan Van Sciver who wanted to put in his part for our Military - Sciver is a renowned DC Comic book artist and penciler who has contributed (among others) to Cyberfrog, New X-Men, The Flash: Iron Heights and Impulse. The album art depicts our Militaries finest protecting with guardian angels that are representative of our prayers we send. WINGER will hit the road beginning January 24 on a five-week headline tour of North America. Dates are below - More Dates to come.
