NEW AEROSMITH DISC RELEASE DATE SET

Press Release: With AEROSMITH being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on March 19, Columbia Records is releasing Just Push Play, the eagerly-anticipated new album from America's premier rock & roll band. The group's first full-length studio venture since 1997's multi-platinum best-selling Nine Lives, Just Push Play is the first Aerosmith album to be produced by band members Steven Tyler and Joe Perry (along with Mark Hudson and Marti Frederiksen). Jam-packed with the unforgettable pop melodies and bone-crunching butt-shaking rock riffs that are the trademarks of Aerosmith, Just Push Play will be in stores March 6. Aerosmith fans got their first taste of Just Push Play when the band debuted their new hit single, Jaded, at this year's American Music Awards on January 8. The members of Aerosmith were also the recipients of the prestigious International Artist Award, which has only been given five times in the 28-year history of the AMAs (previous honorees were Led Zeppelin, Rod Stewart, Michael Jackson, and the Bee Gees). On Sunday, January 28, 2001, Aerosmith upped the ante on their already massive reputation as a live band with a show-stopping medley of I Don't Want To Miss A Thing/Jaded/Walk This Way with popstars Nsync - the highest ratings for any half-time show in Super Bowl history. Having sold nearly 100 million albums worldwide over the course of a career spanning a quarter century, Aerosmith have not merely survived and thrived, they've transcended the trends, fads and follies of their times to become one of the most durable, and perpetually exciting, forces in popular music. Unique even among the select handful of rock bands of similar longevity, Aerosmith remains a potent chart force (Nine Lives debuted at #1 on the Billboard album chart, I Don't Want To Miss A Thing, from the film Armageddon, was #1 on the Hot 100 for four weeks in 1998) and boasts the original line-up that came together to cut the very first Aerosmith album back in 1973.
