Fan-Favorite Cover of "Don`t Stop Believing" Also Available for Download
NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
Los Angeles` premiere metal band, Steel Panther, has been igniting both the
Sunset and Las Vegas Strips with their outrageous stage presence and attire (or
maybe it`s their hairspray?) as the greatest metal show ever! The lead track on
the band`s major label debut from Universal Republic Records FEEL THE STEEL,
"Death to All but Metal," will be available as an iTunes "Single of the Week,"
starting November 17. With shredding guitar riffs, thunderous drum beats, and
pop-bashing lyrics, the song truly proves its title name. Also available the
same day is Steel Panther`s boisterous cover of Journey`s "Don`t Stop
Believing." 

"`Don't Stop Believing` was and easy choice for a cover," the band`s front man
Michael Starr said. "All the chicks totally love it and it gets them really
excited." 

"And if you just want to rock out, download our "Death to All Metal!" adds
guitarist Satchel. 

The four member band, which includes the effervescent Starr, Stix Zadinia on
drums, Satchel on guitar, and bassist Lexxi Foxxx, has been entertaining fans
and scores of rock and entertainment VIPs with their raucous antics via L.A.'s
longest running heavy metal show on the Sunset Strip. The show currently runs at
the infamous Key Club every Monday night and residencies at the Green Valley
Ranch and The Aliante in Las Vegas. Steel Panther`s live set incorporates
original tracks from FEEL THE STEEL, like "Death to All but Metal," as well as
classic covers from the 80`s hair-metal era, which are always crowd pleasers. 

If you haven`t `felt the steel` be sure to pick up a copy of the album-already
available or get a taste of an original track for free and an epic cover song on
iTunes November 17!
