RFK MEDIA releases new Ron Keel Band EP “KEELED”
RFK Media has released “KEELED,” a five-track EP by Ron Keel Band which features new versions of 80’s Keel classics such as “The Right To Rock,” “Tears Of Fire,” and the single “Here Today Gone Tomorrow.”
That track was originally recorded for a charity album project that never materialized, and Keel felt it was too strong not to release. In his own words:
“This song was maybe the first good hard rock tune I ever wrote, back in 1985 on our first tour. Of course we had great metal songs like ‘The Right To Rock’ and ‘Speed Demon,’ but when our producer Gene Simmons heard this one he said, ‘I love it. It sounds like Bad Company to me.’ We recorded it on our album ‘The Final Frontier’ [which spent eight weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart] and it’s been a fan favorite ever since.
“Ron Keel Band kills this tune live, so it was a quick and easy decision to record it for that charity project that never happened. We invited some good friends and fans to sing the background vocals with us (we call ‘em the Keelaholic Choir), DC threw down an incredible guitar solo, and now this Keel classic has a new lease on life.”
The “KEELED” EP is the pilot project for RFK Media, the new company owned and operated by Ron Keel and partners which plans multiple releases in 2022 and beyond, including new Ron Keel projects as well as select other artists. In addition to music, RFK plans to branch out into video content, book publishing, art and radio.
“It’s time,”Ron insists. “When HighVol Music chief Bill Chavis died [along with his wife Lori, from Covid-19] we lost not only two dear friends but our record deal as well. My business partners and I decided to take the bull by the horns and do this our way, and I believe we have the experience, brains and balls to get it done right.”
RFK Media has signed an exclusive worldwide agreement with Amplified Distribution, which will ensure product placement with all major retail vendors and digital service providers. Signed copies of the “KEELED” EP are available exclusively in the online store at http://ronkeel.com.
Promotion, publicity and interview requests are being handled by Jody Best at Best Bet Promo (bestbetpromo@yahoo.com). More announcements are forthcoming, including the label’s first artist signing on February 5th and reissues of out-of-print album projects.
