[05-08-2008] Stuck Mojo sign Australian record deal
Riot! Entertainment has announced that Stuck Mojo has joined the Riot! family on a two- album licensing deal.

The first release will be bands latest offering 'Southern Born Killers', featuring three bonus tracks and a following album due later this year.

'Southern Born Killers' official Australian release will be in mid-August.

"It certainly is a pleasure to have a band like Stuck Mojo join the Riot family," Riot! CEO John Howarth said. "They were one of the most innovative bands to ever hit the metal scene and one I have total respect for, and I am a fan of course! Rich Ward is one of todays guitar heroes as he and Mojo have influence many a guitar player and band. I have worked with Rich, Sean and Mike in their previous band, Fozzy and I am really looking forward to now working directly with Mojo and getting them down here for their first tour!"

"If you're lucky enough, sometimes in your career you can end up working with your friends," Stuck Mojo guitarist Rich Ward said. "Those who are extraordinarily lucky, will have the opportunity to work with friends who are among the best in the world at what they do. Today, I am happy to announce that I am once again one of those extraordinarily lucky people, as Stuck Mojo have signed an exclusive, multi-album, Australian deal with Riot! Entertainment!

The crew at Riot! have worked hard to build an amazing company that all of us in the Mojo family are honored to be affiliated with. They personify honor and integrity in a business filled with liars, thieves and wanna-be's. It's a privilege to sit at the Riot family dinner table!"
