THE HELLACOPTERS To Issue "Greatest Hits" Entitled Air Raid Serenades

June 21, 2006

THE HELLACOPTERS are set to issue a 22-song “greatest hits” collection entitled Air Raid Serenades (with artwork by Dirty Donny) this fall. Here’s what the band said regarding their decision to release such a collection:

“It comes a time when a band decides to release a ‘Greatest Hits.’ Why? To mark the end of an era? To keep the record company happy? Or just for hell of it? In our case a little bit of it all. Since we never had a hit let’s just call it a ‘Best of’ of sorts. Anyway, after twelve years together as a band, it’s time to do it.”

According to the band, Air Raid Serenades is to serve as an introduction for those who have none or only a few of their records. On that note, the collection won’t feature any new songs as the band felt that would be a “rip-off” to fans. Here is the complete tracklisting:

1. (Gotta Get Some Action) Now!

5. You Are Nothing
6. Like No Other Man
