Both a new full-length album and a feature length documentary are due to be released in 2018.

Wrecking Ball Production is Chicago based with a Midwest focus booking and promotion company established in 2008 by Ian Tomele. Collectively they have been playing in bands for 30 plus years including over 6,000 shows throughout the U.S. and internationally. Their goal in Wrecking Ball is to bring better show line ups together than your average "booking agent," They pride themselves on actually doing full production and promotion for all shows run with Wrecking Ball Production. A normal show doesn't exist here at Wrecking Ball, they are always bouncing new themes, bands, ideas and specials into the mix. With so much going on these days in the world they don't host shows, and they aren't just a "booking agent" Wrecking Ball is an event planner, so keep your eyes and ears open for the next Wrecking Ball Production in your local area.

Ian has been the manager, tour manager, as well the creative force of the US and Canadian touring band Voice of Addiction for the past 10 years. Ian also manages and books about 150 shows per year for Voice of Addiction  as well as booking around the Midwest for others as well. When Ian isn't playing a show himself he is running sound at one of the many Wrecking Ball events or watching an out of state band that he may have met on the road with Voice of Addiction. Ian's alter ego is JohnnyX.
