(September 20, 2005 - Los Angeles, CA) XYZ fromtman Terry Ilous has
gone
back into his archives and discovered eighteen songs that the public
has
never had a chance to hear. "Some of these songs should have ended up
on
the first or second cd," relates Ilous. "It's about time they made it
out
to the public because they bring back such great memories of that whole
time period."

Arriving in Los Angeles from Europe in 1985 Ilous and XYZ bassist, Patt
Fontaine set about finding compatible band members to help make their
"rock star dreams" a reality. "It was very hard to form a band iat the
time," recalls Terry. "I only spoke Spanish and French - not so rock '
n
'roll, you know - finally destiny sent me 2 winners Marc Diglio and
Paul
Monroe. It took a while to find them but it was definitely worth it."

The band slugged it out on Hollywood's famed Sunset Strip for four
years
alongside the likes of Warrant, Bang Tango, Guns 'N Roses and others
who,
like XYZ, went on to see various degees of success in the music world.
While playing the club circuit, XYZ also spent a lot of time demo-ing
their material and presenting those demos to every label that would
accept
a package. Terry: "I always loved the song "Cant Get Over You", which
I
wrote for my wife. We spent every dime we had demo-ing those songs.
still
today they mean a lot to me and I know the fans will love them as much
as
I do!"

Records. The track listing is:: "Can't Get Over You" (1990 -
