'Count Me Out' will be released May 1st, and is included on 'Avengers Assemble' a compilation of music from and inspired by 'Marvel's The Avengers'. The track can be streamed at RollingStone.com
"We're all infuenced by everthing from Zeppelin and Sabbath to newer bands. A lot of it has been based on different stuff that has happened to me or stuff I've heard being in Velvet Revolver for eight years. It's basically about a big, notorious rock band, and there's a new guy that's coming into the band. You're basically seeing all of the dysfunction and insanity, and the things that make for great rock bands through the eyes of the new guy." Kushner told Rolling Stone.Kushner and Warren are working on a 5 song EP for early this summer, and are working on a TV pilot for 'PusherJones' the animated series. "We asked ourselves, what if the Gorillaz were more like Guns N' Roses? said Kushner.
