"Quake" featuring Cherone is being released today (Friday, November 9).The hard-charging track with PERRY's killer riffs and Cherone's gutsy vocals is from soon-to-be-released vinyl-only version of PERRY's SWEETZERLAND MANIFESTO (Roman Records) and was debuted live earlier this year (January 16) when Cherone joined PERRY at the latter's two-hour plus set at The Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles, CA.

It was directed by JOE's son Roman Perry. Watch the video here.

These performances follow gigs this past April wherePERRY debuted his new touring band featuring Whitford and with Cheroneof Extreme taking on the lead vocals.
