Mercerville, N.J., September 11, 2008 – Big Bang Entertainment Company announced today that they have released a new CD inspired by and in Memory of the Victims of 9/11 who lost their lives because of cowardly terrorists on 9/11, in Memory of the Heroes of 9/11 who tried and died saving the lives of the victims, and dedicated to the Avengers of 9/11 – "America's Best" , the men and woman of the Armed Forces of the United States of America, who risk their lives so all American's can live safe and free.

The CD "Tribute To America's Best" was completed September 10th, 2008 after grueling around the clock work to get the CD completed in honor of 9/11. "Big Bang Entertainment Company (www.bigbangentco.com) and the "Bangers" All American Rock-n-Roll Band (www.thebangers.com) are celebrating their five year Anniversary this month, says Robert Battis, Founder of both the band and entertainment company. The "Bangers" All American Rock-n-Roll Band is one of the most Patriotic Rock-n-Roll bands in America. This 9 song Patriotic Rock Album is dedicated to "America's Best" says Battis, a lead songwriter for the "Bangers" Band. The song America's Not Fool-in' Around© was written by Battis because of people he new who died on 9/11. Some of the lyrics from the song state: "You can run – but you can't hide, All you cowards – you're gonna die… One by one – we'll hunt you down, America's not fool-in around…" as well as "All you terrorists have blood – on your hands, America is coming – to crush you in your lands… Our Marines, Army, Navy and our Air-Force too, We'll provide you with some gifts - via B-52…"

One main motivation for the songs written by Battis was Sergeant David Hoffman who served on several tours of duty as a member of the US Army - Joint Operations. The Star Spangled Americans Society (www.starspangledamericans.com) hosted a send off party at an American Legion facility in New Jersey in February 2006 and the "Bangers" played for the troops. At that time Robert Battis wrote a song called Bigger Than Life© dedicated to Sergeant Hoffman. Sergeant Hoffman went back to Iraq, with a flag Battis gave to him with the promise that he and his men would return safely home with the flag and all his comrades. Sergeant Hoffman recently presented the flag to Robert Battis along with a second flag that flew in World War II in the Battle of the Bulge and also in Iraq with the request by Sergeant Hoffman that Battis continue advocating support of "America's Best". Battis assured him he would, and presented him with two new songs he wrote inspired by Sergeant Hoffman. The two new songs are I'm Back From Iraq© and Thank God For You©. Sergeant Hoffman is a hero, a great friend of America, a friend of "America's Best" and friend of Battis and the "Bangers" Band as well the team at Big Bang Entertainment.

The Music can be downloaded on the website www.thebangers.com or www.bigbangentco.com. The CD will be available October 6, 2008. Twenty percent of the proceeds of the CD will be donated to the Star Spangled Americans Society (www.starspangledamericans.com). The society is setting up an organization to help Homeless Veterans. God Bless those who love America and "America's Best"!

Well, our show up in north Jersey was a success to say the least, we met many new friends that we care deeply for and then rocked their asses off in the process. All we can collectively say is that we support all the great men and women who put their lives in danger for their country. Once you get the perspective from them, everything changes and all politics fly out the window, (as it should be). Anyways, whatever we can do to make them feel like someone does care about them and believe in them, it lightens their hearts to say the least. The advice given to us was to keep getting in front of people and share our gift and that we may soon be on our way overseas to play a USO tour in front of as many of the troops that they can muster to see us live. I could ask for no greater honor than that and look forward to bringing some smiles to our men and women of honor.

Scotty

     In 1995 Robert D. Battis met Scott L. French through a business relationship and discovered Scott was a great drummer. They hit it off as friends. Robert spoke with Scott about building a band around Scott in 1996-1997. The timing wasn't right and the vision had to be put on hold. In the summer of 2003, Robert's creativity as a lyrics writer was taking off. Robert contacted Scott who was now playing with a couple of new musicians - Mark Kain and a bassist. He asked Scott if he would like to help him build a band? Scott being the upbeat Banging Drummer he is, told Robert he was up for the adventure.

     Robert moved forward writing a business plan, and founded the Bangers All American Rock-n-Roll Band and the Big Bang Entertainment Company, LLC (BBEC) the company that owns and supports the Bangers band. Robert was impressed and inspired by Scott's Banging on the drums and decided to give the band the name the Bangers. Scott played a major role in providing Robert a sounding board for Robert's ideas and advice along with ideas for the band. Scott was hired as a songwriter by BBEC, along with four more songwriters, Mark W. Kain, an unknown bassist, Amy L. Tobin on Violins, and our newest songwriter Jaime M. Boxell. Scott, Bob, Mark, Amy and Jaime make up the Bangers All American Rock-n-Roll Band. The sixth member of the band is Jessica J. Convey, our Rock'n Galactic Big Bang Chic dancer and model for the BBEC.

     The band has dual citizenship with homes in Minneapolis, Minnesota and Princeton, New Jersey. Robert pulled the trigger on the venture, and set up the Big Bang Music & Recording Studio. The band members record and practice at this studio. The band is signed with the record company Big Bang Galaxy Records, which is also a division of BBEC. The Bangers have been busy at work producing two CD's  Star Spangled Americans and Out Of This Universe. There is a third cd on the way called Journey To Eternity. The Bangers will be touring starting the end of 2005. The Bangers look forward to Blowin' your tops off!
