In just a few days Steel Panther will unleash their new album Balls Out. It’s guaranteed to be an album full of rock anthems about women, booze, drugs, tight clothes and tighter riffs. Tuesday, November 1st, mark your calendars.

The band is giving us a behind the scenes look at the photo shoot they for their album with some commentary about what fans can expect from the new album.

From Forbes.com: "In the 1980s, Anthrax rose to the top of the heavy metal heap thanks to their signature “stomp” and “crushing riffs” which have inspired generations of bands. A collaboration with hip hop legends Public Enemy on the game-changing crossover hit “Bring the Noise” in 1991 cemented their status as genre innovators. Now some 30 years later, Anthrax still brings the noise.

Last month, “Worship Music”, the band’s first studio album in eight years, stampeded onto the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart, landing at #12, the band’s highest chart debut in two decades, and second-highest in its career, selling 28,500 copies. I spoke with Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian about the band’s recent success, surviving the music industry, brand power and the impact of social media."

Elsewhere, Ian was recently cast as a zombie in a webisode of AMC's hit horror series The Walking Dead. You can view his scene below:

In anticipation of the Thick As Thieves release, Cavo is calling on its fans to help finalize their cover art, which will be a collage of candid band shots taken by fans. To participate, fans should upload their photos of the band here (http://www.cavomusic.com/photo.html). Artwork is set to be revealed in early December.

The legends of the Sunset Strip, Steel Panther, are getting ready to release their sophomore album Balls Out via Universal Republic Records.  The album will be released on November 1^st and will continue the raucous tradition of the band’s 2009 debut, Feel The Steel.  The album’s first single  “17 Girls In A Row” is available beginning today on iTunes.

STEEL PANTHER, “17 GIRLS IN A ROW”

The song showcases the band’s ability to write memorable hooks while mixing them with their signature style lyrics like “I banged 17 girls in a grocery store and never lost my erection.”  With its driving opening drum beat and infectious guitar riff, “17 Girls In A Row” will be sure to heat up rock airwaves and give it a much needed kick in the balls – no pun intended.

ESPN and multiplatinum rock band Switchfoot have teamed up to celebrate with millions of college football fans for the debut of five songs from Switchfoot's new album, Vice Verses.  ESPN will debut the songs from new album during this Saturday's Oklahoma at Florida State game on ABC's Saturday Night Football at 8 p.m. ET.  The telecast will also feature Switchfoot's new video of the first single "Dark Horses".

In conjunction with the premiere, ESPN will host an exclusive stream for fans to be the first to hear the entire Vice Verses album on ESPN.com which includes a link to a contest for winners to attend the Rose Bowl Game in Pasadena to watch the game with Switchfoot on January 2, 2012. Check out the stream here: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/thelife/music/news/story?id=6944961

"To have our new album debuted during college football is something we never thought possible.  There's no greater thrill than to watch a college football game with one of our songs supporting the action.  We're all honored to partner with the great people at ESPN sharing our combined passion for sports and music". - Jon Foreman, Switchfoot.
