LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Can a band that only released one official full-length album in its career be considered legendary? Ask any of the throng of Shark Island fans who flocked to the band's hundreds of shows during their reign on Sunset Strip in the 80s. Their answer: a resounding yes!

Those fans, their kids and a whole new generation of rock and rollers will be ecstatic to hear that Shark Island is finally resurfacing after over a decade apart with an explosive new collection, Gathering Of The Faithful, that features 13 exciting new tracks co-composed by lead singer Richard Black and guitarist Spencer Sercombe. Christian Heilmann is back on bass along with new drummer Glen Sobel.

Following in the tradition of Van Halen, Motley Crue and other L.A. bands, Shark Island was the house band for several years at the world famous Gazzari's on the Sunset Strip. Before signing their major label deal at Epic, they independently released three albums, Altar Ego, S'cool Buss, and Bastille Day: Alive At The Whiskey.

Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
