THE ARISTOCRATS: ‘Culture Clash’ Lands in the Top 10! #8 on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Charts and #16 on the Jazz Album Charts


Featuring Guthrie Govan (Steven Wilson, Asia/GPS), Bryan Beller (Dethklok, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani) and Marco Minnemann (Necrophagist, Kreator, Adrian Belew, UKZ, Steven Wilson)

THE ARISTOCRATS are pleased to announce that their new release Culture Clash is a Top 10 record! The album has charted at #8 on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Album charts and #16 on the Billboard Jazz charts within the first week. Boasting elements of jazz, rock, metal, fusion and more, this genre-defying release has truly proven to be a bona fide crossover hit!

The band’s new album Culture Clash is out now, and you can order it at http://thearistocrats.spinshop.com. When ordering, you have the choice of purchasing a copy of the regular edition, or the deluxe edition, which includes “Accept The Mystery: The Making Of The Aristocrats’ Culture Clash”, a 33-minute DVD documentary shot while THE ARISTOCRATS were tracking the album in Nashville, TN. Containing both studio footage and exclusive interviews with each member of the band, “Accept The Mystery: The Making Of The Aristocrats’ Culture Clash” is a special behind-the-scenes look at THE ARISTOCRATS that fans have never seen before.

All you vinyl collectors out there, don’t forget! The band will release a limited-edition double-album vinyl edition (only 1,000 copies being pressed) of Culture Clash, set to be released in late September. The vinyl release will be available exclusively through Hostile City Distribution (www.hcdistro.com) and THE ARISTOCRATS webstore for pre-order in late August.
