FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: ANDY CURRAN ANNOUNCES LIMITED-EDITION 'ROCKAHOLIC' COLLECTOR'S LP Featuring two brand-new songs, "Rockaholic" and "Lookin' for Love," plus newly remixed and remastered versions of his Top 10 Canadian rock radio hits "No Tattoos" and "License to Love". For rock fans who remember the '80s and early '90s, Andy Curran needs little introduction. Now, the founding member and lead vocalist of Coney Hatch is revisiting his solo legacy while adding two brand-new songs with the release of Rockaholic, a limited-edition collector's LP that connects Curran's past with where he is today. The first 100 copies purchased will receive a set of handwritten lyrics autographed from Andy’s personal archives The Rockaholic EP is the first of three vinyl releases planned from Curran's archives on Vault Press. Two additional releases, Caramel and Leisureworld, are scheduled to follow in 2027. Recorded at Metalworks Studios in Toronto, Halo Studios in Hamilton and Noble Street Studios in Toronto, Rockaholic was mixed and co-produced by Juno Award-winning Vic Florencia and mastered by Grammy-winning engineer Harry Hess at HBomb Mastering. Curran's history with Canadian rock runs deep. As a founding member and lead vocalist of Coney Hatch, he helped establish the band as one of the country's most respected hard rock acts. Coney Hatch shared stages with Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Cheap Trick, Peter Frampton, Ted Nugent and others, while the band's self-titled debut album went Gold in Canada and produced rock radio favourites including "Devils Deck" and "Monkey Bars." Curran subsequently launched a solo career, with his self-titled debut producing three Top 10 Canadian rock radio hits: "No Tattoos," "License to Love" and "Let Go." These songs became staples of Canadian rock radio and MuchMusic, while Curran embarked on an extensive touring schedule that included shows with Rush, Kim Mitchell, Glass Tiger and Rik Emmett. His accomplishments also include a Juno Award win for Most Promising Male Vocalist, as well as a nomination for Best Rock Album. On that occasion, Curran ultimately bowed out to his friends in Rush, who took home the award. Curran's musical résumé also includes co-founding Envy of None with Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson, further cementing his place in the history of Canadian rock. Now, Curran is bringing the music from his solo years back to the stage in 2027 along side April Wine. "This is the first time since 1992 that I'll be playing some of this material," Curran explains. "Songs we'll be performing are 'Nickels & Dimes,' 'Whiskey & the Devil,' 'License to Love,' 'No Tattoos' – plus the new song 'Rockaholic' and selected Coney Hatch favourites." Curran will be joined onstage by Sean Kelly, James Naro and Dave Ketchum. Kelly and Ketchum are also Curran's Coney Hatch bandmates, while Naro is the son of the late Phil Naro, best known for his work with TALAS. With Rockaholic, Curran isn't simply looking back. The release offers a snapshot of where he came from, where he is now and what remains to be discovered in his archives. As Curran states, "I wrote this song about my bandmate, Sean Kelly, but I think deep down everyone has a little 'Rockaholic' in them."
