\"Manny Perez from Lonestar Pornstar was one of the first artists we signed to our artist roster at Chop Shop Drum Co. Manny\'s drumming, and the band\'s fresh and explosive sound made them an instant favorite with the crew here at the shop. I am always blown away by these guys, and I am proud to have them all as friends. The new album is Lonestar Pornstar at their finest.....buckle up, LSPS is about to take off!\" - Brian Cocivera
