Bobaflex's New Album Out Under Megaforce Records

Megaforce Records recording artists Bobaflex’s new album Hell In My Heart is out today. The band is currently on tour throughout the rest of 2011 in support of the effort.

From Point Pleasant West Virginia, Bobaflex was formed in 1998 by brothers Shaun and Marty McCoy. The brothers are no strangers to the press, having ancestral ties to the most infamous family feud in American history, between the Hatfields and the McCoys which almost caused a war between the states of West Virginia and Kentucky in the 1880s. The band's name was inspired by the bounty hunter Boba Fett from Star Wars.

The first single from Hell in my Heart "Bury Me With My Guns" is already getting huge reaction at radio. Vocalist/ guitarist Martin McCoy sums up the bands feelings to date " We've been through a war just trying to play our music. We put it all into this record and its the most real and best sounding to date. We're at the top of our game live, and with this new record I'm confident nothing can stop this band."

The band signed to Megaforce Records earlier this year. Megaforce was founded in 1982 and has released albums from Metallica, The Black Crowes, Anthrax, Danzig, etc. “We are very excited and honored to be on a label that so many of our influences have been released on” states Martin McCoy. “We’re ready for the world to hear Hell In My Heart!

Interview with Shaun McCoy of Bobaflex

Shaun McCoy - Guitarist/Vocalist of Bobaflex

Written by: Aaron Manogue

We’re all swamped within the information age and bombarded with less than adequate bands that spew out music just to keep their record label at bay. Very seldom do we have the pleasure of hearing a band stay true to their fans and themselves without ever selling out. In a nutshell, this describes one of the most genuine, hard rock bands still out there today. The guys in Bobaflex have been in the business for years now, and through struggles within the industry and outside of it, they’ve managed to stay relevant and remember how to play their trademark, soothe your soul one minute, kick your ass the next, rock and roll. Aaron Manogue sat down with Bobaflex guitarist and vocalist Shaun McCoy to talk about what they’ve been up to and what they have in store for our ear drum’s pleasure coming this summer.

Aaron Manogue: What’s Bobaflex been up to for the past year or two?

Shaun McCoy: Well a little ways back our record label went bankrupt so we ultimately had to fight a legal battle with the t-shirts and touring. Once we got through that, we started to record a new album called, “Hell in My Heart.” We paid for it ourselves, we paid for every recording, and we paid the producer ourselves. Right now we’re working on a late spring, early summer release.
