Featuring founding members\u00a0Chip Z\u2019nuff\u00a0and\u00a0Alex Kane\u00a0(LSD),\u00a0Tory Stoffregen\u00a0and\u00a0Daniel Benjamin Hill,Enuff Z\u2019Nuff\u2019s\u00a0new studio release, \u201cBrainwashed Generation\u201d showcases a diverse collection of songs that demonstrate the progression of musical styles in the\u00a0Enuff Z\u2019nuff\u00a0catalog, all while retaining the undercurrent that has kept them a loyal fanbase since the \u201880s. The album also features guest appearances from original frontman and guitarist Donnie Vie (“Strangers In My Head”) as well as\u00a0guest appearances from Mike Portnoy, and Daxx Nielsen (Cheap Trick).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Of the new album,\u00a0Chip Z’nuff\u00a0says, \u201cThis batch of songs are simply gifts from above via a plethora of influences. There’s certainly plenty of fodder at this unprecedented time in our world.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He continues, \u201cWe recorded the album in few interesting locations. Stonecutters Studio in downtown Chicago, Chris Steinmantz\u2019s studio (White Lion, Styx), which was a ghost town, and my studio on the Southside that was filled with extracurricular activities during the whole process.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On working with guest musicians, \u201cFabulous rock musicians came by during these sessions to lend their magnificent skills such as members of Cheap Trick (Daxx Nielsen), Mike Portnoy (Sons of Apollo, Winery Dogs), and Steve Ramone.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The band plans to tour the U.S. and Europe in support of “Brainwashed Generation”, once conditions allow touring activity to resume safely for fans and artists alike.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Originally formed in 1984 in Chicago, IL, the band received their big break in 1989 when they signed to Atco\/Atlantic Records. Their self-titled debut album was a monster hit and spawned two evergreen singles, \u201cNew Thing\u201d and \u201cFly High Michelle\u201d. Both received constant airplay on radio and heavy rotation on MTV, spending over 60 weeks in the Top 10. 1991 saw the band release their sophomore album, \u201cStrength\u201d. The album had more of a hard rock overtone and sustained the success achieved on the first album. The band made high profile television and radio appearances on the likes of David Letterman and Howard Stern and were featured in Rolling Stone\u2019s Hot Issue as \u2018The Next Big Thing’. The band soldiered on during the new musical climates of the \u201890s and went on to release another over a dozen more studio records.<\/div>\n
