LA-based hard rock band DC4 are proud to announce the addition of Rowan Robertson to a lineup that also includes brothers Jeff Duncan (Armored Saint, Odin) on lead vocals and guitar, Shawn Duncan (Odin) on drums and Matt Duncan on bass. Rowan is best known for nailing down the lead guitar spot with Dio in 1989 at the age of seventeen. During his stint with Dio he appeared on the Lock Up The Wolves album, toured with the band and solidified himself as one of the most gifted young shredders on the planet.

According to Jeff the early results for the new lineup are all positive. "From the first time we all played together I felt it was going to be brutal," he says. "DC4 is more powerful then ever." Says Shawn, "The band sounds fuckin' HUGE with Rowan. I cannot tell everyone how excited we are!" Of his addition to DC4, Rowan adds, "This is exactly what Ive been looking for. A great hard rockin' band with killer songs. Mind your ears people!"

In the next few weeks DC4 will be working on dates in the Southern California area to show what the new lineup is capable of. To check out DC4's music and stay current on further developments, you can visit the official DC4 myspace page at (Click here to open link)

I didn't know about Jeff Duncan on this band and I didn't know about Jeff being in Odin either (so I guess I'll look for both in the future), but the news actually made me sad since I'm waiting for an Armored Saint reunion (Bush, Vera, Duncan, Sandoval x 2).

Huh? I guess you mean you're waiting for a new studio album because Armored Saint did get back together recently. They played a few shows in the US and some festivals in Europe just this summer. Here's a pretty good quality download of one of their US shows.:headbang:
I believe a new studio album's just a matter of time, because Bush sure isn't going back to Anthrax (and he shouldn't either).

DC4 then... I've heard of them but haven't really heard much of them. Sound like a more "modern rock" oriented band which isn't my thing really
