The Wallflowers Set to Release REBEL, SWEETHEART on May 24

First Record in Three Years to Be Followed by Extensive Touring

NEW YORK, Feb. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Interscope recording artists The Wallflowers will release their first album in three years, REBEL, SWEETHEART, on May 24. Produced by Brendan O'Brien and recorded at Southern Tracks Recording in Atlanta during the summer and fall of 2004, Rebel, Sweetheart is the Grammy-winning band's fifth studio LP. The album's first single, 'The Beautiful Side Of Somewhere' will be released to radio in mid-March.

The Wallflowers will tour extensively throughout the U.S. and the world following the album's release.

All of the songs on Rebel, Sweetheart were written by Jakob Dylan, who's mindful of consistent themes running through much of the album. As he told USA Today, 'Considering the chaotic times that we're living in, I found it unavoidable to write songs that weren't embedded with curiosity, panic, and wonder. The climate for writing these songs was obviously fertile, to say the least, and the well of inspiration virtually bottomless,' he said.

Rebel, Sweetheart is the latest studio offering from the Wallflowers This is also the first Wallflowers record made working with producer Brendan O'Brien.

The Wallflowers relied on their many years as a recording and touring band, as well as their unmistakable chemistry with producer O'Brien, to approach the songs on Rebel, Sweetheart with a sense of urgency. Three of the four band members have been in the Wallflowers for over a decade (Dylan -- Guitars and vocals; Rami Jaffee -- Keyboards; and Greg Richling -- Bass and vocals), while the fourth, drummer Fred Eltringham (Gigolo Aunts, Ben Kweller), joined the band two years ago. In anticipation of entering the studio, Brendan O'Brien joined the band on tour last summer as lead guitarist; that lineup debuted on record with last year's Warren Zevon Tribute CD, Enjoy Every Sandwich, performing 'Lawyers, Guns and Money.'

'We wanted to get these songs out there quickly, and not spend months in the studio labouring over them,' Dylan explained. 'Fortunately, we had just come off the road and were ready to record -- and there's no wasted time with Brendan in the studio -- so the whole process really served the album we set out to make.'

The Wallflowers will debut new songs from Rebel, Sweetheart when they headline Esquire Magazine's annual soiree in Austin, Texas on Saturday, March 19, during that city's South-By-Southwest music festival.

The track listing for Rebel, Sweetheart is as follows:

Days Of Wonder
