A FEW WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT FROM BRIAN RICKMAN Looking at the Mediabase 24/7 Active Rock chart in recent weeks you, like myself, may have noticed an unfamiliar track hovering near the bottom. Relying completely on talent and with the support of a few belivers on the panel, Not Guilty has made enough headway to land "Piece Me Together" a spot on the chart. I am hear to tell you that this is a band worthy of YOUR support as well. In the weeks since first appearing on the national radar, Not Guilty has began to generate quite a buzz. In November, McGathy is presenting the band at an industry spotlight at CBGB's in New York. Offers are being placed on the table from a number of our contemporaries at the labels, etc. They have been offered opening slots on tours with Megadeth, Clutch, Days of the New and Tantric. Not Guilty's building success is truly a grass-roots effort. We're proud that this band hails from North Carolina and we're excited to watch this story grow. As someone who shares your busy work schedule, I ask you to take a few moments and give this CD a serious listen. I am confident that you will be as impressed with this work as we have been. It's the real deal and it sounds great on the air. Enjoy. Brian Rickman Program Director WXQR/WANJ Greenville-New Bern-Jacksonville, NC - Brian Rickman - PD

Bio
NOT GUILTY(formerly known as "Storm") is one of the fastest growing, new rock bands on the east coast. From the high-energy, full-throttle live show, to the highly acclaimed independent release, In the Eye, the group has attracted attention from many different labels and management companies from New York to California. The single, “Piece Me Together,” finished in the Top 100 in the Active Rock Category in 2001, surpassing even some signed bands in radio airplay. Other powerful songs such as the driving Deep End, the dark and emotional Paper, Rock, Scissors, and the anthem ballad Once Upon A Time are also making their way to mainstream airwaves. Currently, NOT GUILTY is played on radio stations in over 12 U.S. states and in parts of Germany and Canada as well. The band’s studio work may sound impressive, but the live show is what NOT GUILTY does best. NOT GUILTY was champion of the 2001 Battle of the Bands (co-sponsored by Ziggy’s of Winston-Salem and 100.3 FM, The Buzzard) and has showcased in NYC at the famed CBGB’s. The group has also performed with recording artists Tantric, Megadeth, Clutch, Skid Row, Lennon, Quiet Riot, Days Of The New, Beautiful Creatures, Pete, Saigon Kick, Iced Earth, From Zero, and Oleander, just to name a few. NOT GUILTY was the only unsigned group at Cedar Point’s Rocktoberfest 2001 sponsored by Jacksonville’s Rock 105.5 FM. After taking a short hiatus in 2002, NOT GUILTY is now back in action, planning to release a follow up album in the fall. This new album is sure to gain the band even more recognition and put them onto the charts once again. A new tour is also in the works, currently slotted to begin summer, 2003. If driving, in-your-face-rock, is what you crave, be sure to check out one of North Carolina’s best original bands: NOT GUILTY
