As the founder, lead singer and songwriter of the metal rock band RATT, Stephen Pearcy is credited with having been a pioneer of the early 80's Sunset Strip rock scene. Having led his creation to Mega Multi- Platinum Success Year after Year from 1984 to 1991. Capturing critical acclaim for his performances, style and uniquely salacious vocals. Pearcy formed RATT in Los Angeles in 1982 from his previous band Mickey RATT. Known for their overtly sexual appearance, rebellious attitude and take no prisoner approach to metal, Atlantic Records recognized RATT’s potential and star power thus signing the band to a contract resulting in the 1984 album “Out of the Cellar”, which became one of many multi-platinum successes. RATT climbed up the charts with singles from “Out of the Cellar”, soaring past Prince’s “Let’s Go Crazy”, Van Halen’s “Panama”, Madonna’s “Borderline” and David Bowies “Blue Jean”. The record generated top ten singles followed by sold out tours throughout the world. This momentum remained with every proceeding RATT album to include their most recent release of “Infestation” in 2010. Their last recording from that time in 1991 is Ratt “81-91′′ of which marked the end of an era, and to the disbelief of many die hard metal fans who seemingly could never get enough of Pearcy, it seemed to mark the end to a self-proclaimed “dynasty of rough & tough metal” that ruled the better part of the 80s. Throughout RATT’s nearly four decades of success with Pearcy at its helm, they released 8 albums and played thousands of shows worldwide all the while selling over 20 million records. In 1992 Pearcy explored other areas of interest and created the band ARCADE with Cinderella’s drummer, Fred Coury. With the release of his first solo debut in 2002, “Social Intercourse”, and 20 CDs to his credit, he continued to record and tour vigorously to the delight of a new emerging fan base of metal fans. Added to his list of achievements is 2002’s Cult Horror Classic, “Camp Utopia” with Pearcy playing the notorious camp slasher and cult leader, Timothy Bach. RATT & Mickey RATT songs are featured regularly in film & TV; Point Break, Weird Science, The Golden Child, Academy Award winning movie “The Wrestler”, Emmy Award winning Stranger Things, Wicked City, Cobra Kai, The Goldberg’s, Young Sheldon... Pearcy’s continued exploration away from music is as a New York Times Best Selling Author, “SEX, DRUGS, RATT ‘n’ ROLL... My Life in Rock” by Stephen Pearcy. Hailed as “A jaw-dropping tell-all from the lead singer of the 1980s super group Ratt: the groupies, the trashed hotel rooms, the drugs—and just how much you can get away with when you’re one of the biggest hair metal stars of all time.” 2020, "Year of the Rat", started in a positive direction with RATT landing a Geico Insurance commercial that would introduce RATT to a whole new breed of fans with the catch phrase "We have a RATT Problem", seen by over 15 million viewers in its first 2 weeks on air, RATT's "Round and Round" re- charted on Billboards Top Ten Hard Rock Digital Song Sales and a newfound fanbase was born. Live Nation scheduled RATT to headline "The Big Rock Summer Tour", RATT was ready to Take Over the Rock World once again. He currently runs his production company, Top Fuel Entertainment of which his new docuseries "Backstage Past" is in development, as well as the Stephen Pearcy Rockumentary. The Pearcy legacy is here to stay. His fans are loyal and always wanting more of him...after all, he is the original “Wanted Man”.

The ticking of time keeps a steady pace, moving quickly especially when it comes to life, music, and trends throughout history. Every era is characterized by a feeling, a vibe that catapults us back to specific moments. Music can transport people back to an event from their past; evoking emotions that spark memories.  Formed in 2017, Frame 42 is a 4-piece hard rock band that imbues the modern Gen Z mentality; offering vintage rock sensibilities with powerhouse melodies. The group represents the emerging voice of a Generation who are navigating the new normal Frame 42 features Ava Morris (lead vocals), Michael greyson  (lead guitar), Brock Morris (bass) and Lucas Jacobs (drums). Ava and Michael are 20 years old, and Brock and Lucas are 18 years old. In 2019, legendary music producer, Toby Wright (Korn, Sevendust, Alice in Chains, KISS) took the group under his wing because he felt their talent was undeniable and deserved to be harnessed. "Frame 42 is one of the most talented bands I've ever had the pleasure to produce. Their musical abilities outshine their youth. Ava Morris is an exceptional talent.  Her voice rivals all of your favorite singers," says Producer, Toby Wright. Hailing from Lapeer MI, the talented group is creating their own brand. They are working toward their collective passion for music and entertainment and taking control of their future while they're still in their teens. “The band moves in unison. We make every decision as a team and are lucky to be able to do that,” says Ava Morris, who has been performing since she was a young child. “My grandmother had an upright piano in her living room that I loved to play when I would visit.”  That piano is an inspiration to me to keep moving forward. One of my main influences is The Beatles.  They are a driving force for me to stay focused on my songwriting,” explains Ava. Each member brings their own unique perspective to the creative process. “Lucas brings funk, Brock brings metal and Michael brings hard rock. Ben evokes a southern folk vibe, and I bring folky lyrics with classic melodies,” says Ava. "We write all of our original music as a group, and that’s how most of our songs come to life. The main thing that inspires me is to become better as a musician, to reach the level of the artists that have inspired me,” ADDS guitarist, Michael. “An important factor in the band's identity is that we function as a family. Instead of functioning like co-workers, we're all friends, so we are able to spend time together as best friends who love making music,” adds bassist, Brock.  “That is the key factor to us staying happy as a band, and it shows in the music as well. In order to consistently make music, we all have to be in a good place with each other and communicate like a family,” says drummer, Lucas. Frame 42's debut single, "Thicker Than Blood" is based on relationships and how it feels when it ends. "It may be harder for one person to let go than the other. Love is definitely thicker than blood; you can lose somebody and still hold on to love," says Ava.  Their single "ramona" speaks of a free spirit ava knew from childhood and ruminates on what she miight be like now. Their new album was recorded in December of 2022 at BigBlock Sound, a private studio in Linden, Michigan. It was produced and engineered by Toby Wright.
