Details:
Don't Tread on Me - the first 2009 release from Boston's Power Pop legends Reddy Teddy after the long awaited new CD âLoud and Clearâ released in 2008.

Don't Tread on Me was inspired by the highly publicized story of the steadfast Captain Richard Phillips, his gallant crew and the U.S. Navy Seals who rescued them during a high seas highjack attempt by Somalian pirates.

Reddy Teddy was formed in Winchester, Massachusetts where Captain Phillips also grew up and followed the band during it's earliest years.

Formed in the 1970âs, signed to Mercury Records, Reddy Teddy was a mainstay of the Boston/Cambridge Club Scene before a 1978 breakup. Known for their dynamic stage presence, vocal harmonies and taking it âbeyond the three chordsâ, the band was an alter ego to their mates in Aerosmith as they emerged from the Boston scene.

Raised in teen garage bands playing Stones, Who, Chuck Berry, Beatles, Kinks, Yardbirds, and Muddy Waters, the the band of four 20 year olds was discovered by Mercury A/R man and Bob Dylan buddy Paul Nelson (New York Dolls) and promptly whisked away to Mercury's W 57th street studios for a demo of their originals, a record deal offer and a showcase gig in Greenwich Village.

Playboy later touted the band (June 1977) as; "...possibly the best new American band, period". After working w/producers Michael Brown (Left Banke â âDonât Walk Away Reneeâ) and Andrew Loog Oldham (The Rolling Stones), the band left a trail of studio recordings still available in a two CD compilation (Not Lame Records).

Reformed in 2004 with Boston guitarist Jeff Lock of another storied Boston power pop band, The Atlantics, the band reunited in tribute to original bandmate Matthew Mackenzie for a sold out CD release party at Bostonâs Paradise with old friend and Boston rock icon Willie Alexander (The Lost, Velvet Underground, Boom Boom Band) on piano.

Demand for Reddy Teddy music inspired additional performances, new songs and a new 2008 CD release. In addition to Lock (guitar, vocals), the lineup includes four of the original seventies' band members John Morse (lead vocals), Scott Baerenwald (bass/vocals, also of Robin Lane and the Chartbusters), Joe Marino (Drums, vocals), Ted von Rosenvinge (guitar, vocals).

"Don't Tread on Me" features Reddy Teddy plus Erik Lindgren on keyboards. The song was recorded, mixed and mastered at Sounds Interesting Studios in Middleboro, MA and engineered by Rob Pemberton.
