The rock/fusion power trio The Aristocrats – featuring Guthrie Govan on guitar, Bryan Beller on bass, and Marco Minnemann on drums – will release their second studio album, Culture Clash, on July 16, 2013. It will be available in Regular Edition CD, Deluxe Edition (CD + Bonus DVD Accept The Mystery: The Making Of The Aristocrats’ Culture Clash), and limited edition vinyl (1000 only, release date TBA).

Formed practically by demand after a single raucously received set at the Winter NAMM Show in Anaheim, CA in January of 2011, the trio quickly tracked their widely acclaimed instant-classic debut album The Aristocrats [BOING, 2011], and then toured worldwide over the next 18 months, eventually releasing a live album in late 2012. The road work cemented their magic chemistry into a juggernaut, which resulted in more adventurous, aggressive, and eclectic material for Culture Clash.

"All the time we spent together as a band touring, and gigging together and interacting, has made us a stronger unit,” says guitarist Guthrie Govan. “I think it's made us bolder in terms of the kind of material we've dared to write for this album. I think there's some wackier, more eccentric stuff that we maybe wouldn't have submitted for the first album when we didn't know each other as well, we didn't know what kind of craziness we would get away with. So I guess we're enjoying some of the benefits of having been a real band for longer."

With a wider range of genres (detailed in track listing below), and an album title and newly caricatured artwork borne of a sly reference to the Coen Brothers’ film A Serious Man, The Aristocrats haven’t lost their sense of humor…and bring their trademark musical intensity to a new level on Culture Clash.
