Now signed to Metro City Records - a division of Screaming Ferret Wreckords and distributed by Fontana/Universal - Lillian Axe plans to issue the as-yet-untitled new platter in 2007. "After having been signed to four different labels in our history, we learned a lot about what a label should provide and what to look for in a relationship with one," explains Blaze. "What we wanted now was hard work and a label that understands what Lillian Axe was about and what we were trying to accomplish. We are a different breed of animal and not always easy to put in a nice little package with a bow on top. I met Tim Koukos through my longtime friend and associate Chip Ruggieri whose opinions I greatly value. He said he had found the perfect home for Lillian. Tim immediately was straightforward and told me of his label and plans for the future."

Screaming Ferret head Koukos shares Blaze's enthusiasm for the newly aligned union between label and band. "The more I talked to Steve the more I could see were this image of the band that I have in my mind comes from. I don't think I've met a more modest man in this industry yet. Besides being a sophisticated and complex songwriter he has his hand in movies and acting. A true artistic vision with realistic and down to earth morals and values that's reflected in the music. I swear, every time I hang up the phone with him I say to myself, what a cool dude."
