The soundtrack to the much-anticipated film 'Rock School' will be released on May 31, 2005 through Trillion Records.

The documentary, which will hit theaters early this summer through NewMarket Films, chronicles the inception and success of Paul Green's School Of Rock Music, which was founded in Philadelphia in 1999 to teach young musicians and singers to play and perform classic rock 'n' roll.

Produced by Grammy® Award-winning Phil Nicolo (Lauryn Hill, The Roots, Train), the soundtrack to 'Rock School' takes a unique approach by featuring the actual students that appeared in the film re-recording hits alongside legends like Alice Cooper, Deep Purple's Ian Gillan, Yes' Jon Anderson, The Police's Stewart Copeland, The Ramones' Marky Ramone, Heart's Ann Wilson, Megadeth's Dave Mustaine, and Billy Idol.

“When the producers asked me to be a part of 'Rock School', I said okay and asked them to send me a track of the kids performing our song. What I heard was a bunch of kids giving it 100%, and it sounded great. It was good fun,” said Ian Gillan of Deep Purple who performs the band’s hit “Highway Star” on the soundtrack.

"Rock School" is the soundtrack to more than just a temporary fantasy camp. It's the beginning of the kids' new way of life.
