Additional notes
The name Lääz Rockit came from the Clint Eastwood movie "The Enforcer" where Clint ends the film by shooting a tower with a "L"ight "A"nti-tank "W"eapons "S"ystem rocket [LAWS]. The band adopted the name, changing the spelling to Lääz Rockit. The name was chosen to describe their raw energy and explosive stage presence.

After Lääz Rockit were disbanded some of the members released another album under the bandname Gack.

Upon reforming in 2005 with the original line-up (Coons, Jellum, Lange, Kettner, Agnello), the band initially announced that there would never be a new Lääz Rockit album. Following the response to their shows in April 2007 and the sales of their "Live Untold" DVD, the band announced that they have undertaken a project that they intend to result in a new album for release in 2007 or early 2008.

Other Tracks :
"Awesome" - Eastern Metal Front (1986)
"Leatherface" - Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III Soundtrack (1989)
