Platinum Artists 'Mighty Mighty Bosstones' and Emerging Stars 'Nashville Pussy' Headline
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 30, 1998-- Leveraging its global publishing strength to attract top-tier musical
talent, GT Interactive Software Corp. (NASDAQ:GTIS - news) announced that platinum-selling Mercury Recording artists The
Mighty Mighty Bosstones and emerging stars Nashville Pussy will provide music for Rogue Trip, the explosive new car combat
game from its SingleTrac development studio.
''GT's strength in entertainment software has enabled us to attract great creative talent and content from a variety of
entertainment fields,'' said Holly Newman, vice president of Marketing for GT Interactive. ''Through Mercury Records we have
access to the talents of two great bands whose music, Ska-core and Southern fried punk rock, match perfectly with Rogue
Trip's 'controlled chaos' style of game play.''
Under terms of the agreement, GT Interactive will obtain rights to The Mighty Mighty Bosstones hit song, ''The Rascal King,''
in addition to ''Snake Eyes'' from rising stars, Nashville Pussy. Having recently gone platinum with their latest album ''Let's
Face It,'' The Mighty Mighty Bosstones are one of today's hottest bands. ''The Rascal King'' is a tremendously popular single
from their best-selling album. Nashville Pussy is rapidly gaining notoriety for a driving sound and spectacular stage
performances, ''Snake Eyes'' is one of the featured songs on the foursome's debut album, ''Let Them Eat Pussy.''
Developed by SingleTrac, whose most recent car combat game exceeded one million units in sales, Rogue Trip features the
newest generation in car combat from the team that created the genre. Unprecedented levels of interactivity, furious game play,
and a red-hot soundtrack promise to establish Rogue Trip as the new benchmark for console action gaming.
Rogue Trip is slated for release in October for the PlayStation(R) game console at a suggested retail price of $49.95.
