Nun Music is taking Norwegian hardrockers WE worldwide and has licensed their latest album "Smugglers" for release in GAS in April via German label Rodeo Star and in Sweden in May via V2. No word yet on a US or UK release, but I figure it can't be too far behind. In case you didn't know, WE is one of the many fine acts appearing on the "It's a trap! reader's companion" CD.

Due to unfortunate circumstances involving printing errors at the pressing plant, WE, along with labels Kick Music and Nun Music, have decided to pull the Danish edition of thier latest album "Smugglers" and will instead release it over there in September. Look for a new single to released over there in October to coincide with some new concert dates.
