The Hellacopters – who will find out next week if they’ve earned another Swedish Grammy Award, this time in the category “Best Rock Group Of The Year” – have toured their home continent with the likes of Kiss, The Rolling Stones and The Foo Fighters, and upon the European release of Rock & Roll Is Dead last summer, they immediately embarked on six months’ worth of overseas touring. Released Jan. 24, 2006 the American version of the album features two bonus tracks not found on any other version, as well as bonus music video clips for international hit singles “I’m In The Band” and “Everything’s On T.V.”

 

Nebula, meanwhile, will embark on the first tour in support of new album Apollo (street date: Feb. 21, 2006), the L.A. power trio’s fourth full-length. Produced by Daniel Rey (Ramones, Misfits, L7), the album – which sees the addition of new bassist Tom Davies – features a bonus bootleg video of new song “Future Days” recorded during a recent Japanese tour. The group has previously toured with Mastodon, Clutch, Corrosion of Conformity and Mudhoney, among others.
