Legendary Rockers Head Back To School For New Soundtrack Project

NEW YORK (Trillion Records) - The soundtrack to the much-anticipated film 'Rock School' will be released on May 31, 2005 through Trillion Records.

The documentary, which will hit theaters early this summer through NewMarket Films, chronicles the inception and success of Paul Green's School Of Rock Music, which was founded in Philadelphia in 1999 to teach young musicians and singers to play and perform classic rock 'n' roll.

Produced by Grammy Award-winning Phil Nicolo (Lauryn Hill, The Roots, Train), the soundtrack to Rock School takes a unique approach by featuring the actual students that appeared in the film re-recording hits alongside legends like Alice Cooper, Deep Purple's Ian Gillan, Yes' Jon Anderson, The Police's Stewart Copeland, The Ramones' Marky Ramone, Heart's Ann Wilson, Megadeth's Dave Mustaine, and Billy Idol.

The track listing is as follows:

1. "Black Magic Woman" Gregg Rolie
2. "I Wanna Be Sedated" Marky Ramone/Tyson Ritter of The All American Rejects
3. "School's Out" Alice Cooper
4. "Barracuda" Ann Wilson
5. "Highway Star" Ian Gillan
6. "LA Woman" The Paul Green School of Rock Music
7. "Heart Of The Sunrise" Jon Anderson
8. "Rebel Yell" Billy Idol
9. "Don't Stand So Close To Me" Stewart Copeland
10. "Iron Man" The Paul Green School of Rock Music
11. "Peace Sells" Dave Mustaine
12. "Hocus Pocus" The Paul Green School of Rock Music

"When the producers asked me to be a part of Rock School, I said okay and asked them to send me a track of the kids performing our song. What I heard was a bunch of kids giving it 100%, and it sounded great. It was good fun," said Ian Gillan of Deep Purple who performs the band's hit "Highway Star" on the soundtrack.

'Rock School' is the soundtrack to more than just a temporary fantasy camp. It's the beginning of the kids' new way of life.
