Pillar working on new album for June release.

AMERICAN hard rock band Pillar have released their new album 'Where Do We Go From Here' on Flicker Records produced by Travis Wyrick. In the May/June HM magazine bassist Kalel spoke about the band's brief association with MCA Records, "Last year was crazy, dude. I mean 'Fireproof' was still kicking butt. It exceeded all of our expectations. You know, we had hoped to sell at least 100,000, but never thought it would happen, and then it sold 200,000 and it's still climbing. It blew us away. We kept touring our butt off this last year. The label deal basically turned our lives around. We were mainstream. We did a lot of great stuff. We played with Korn, we did a show with Sevendust, a lot of big, huge festivals, and we got a lot of radio play. We were just in Hit Parader Magazine last month and even in Rolling Stone magazine. It was like a whirlwind. We (were) set up for this album to go out of the solar system. MCA had spent nearly half a million dollars on us and weren't working the record.. We had our lawyer say, basically, 'These guys don't need you. If you're not going to work them, let them off so they can go get on with their careers.' They let us go." CR
