Stefan Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 From metalshockfinland.com: Frontiers Records is pleased to announce the release of X-DRIVE‘s debut album entitled “Get Your Rock On” on August 22nd in Europe and August 26th in North America. X-DRIVE is a new band centered around guitar player Jeremy Brunner, an Oregon transplant, who – on the heels of his songwriting skills managed to put together an impressive debut with an affinity for catchy riffs, insightful lyrics and huge choruses. Some of the best in Los Angeles have joined the ranks of X-DRIVE, including bassist James Lomenzo (White Lion, Megadeth, Black Label Society), singer Keith St. John (Burning Rain, Lynch Mob, Montrose) and to round out the project hard-hitting drummer Fred Fischer from Midline. Then legendary producer Andy Johns, the former Led Zeppelin engineer, was able to finish the X-DRIVE tracks just before his tragic death in 2013. “It was such a pleasure to contribute to Jeremy’s effort! He has written and crafted an incredible homage to the style of 80′s rock, a style that I cut my teeth on back in the day,” Lomenzo said. “His love for the era and style really comes through in a surprisingly satisfying way.” “Writing with Brunner was an absolute pleasure,” St. John said. “On the whole, the vehicle for his musical canvasses has been a breath of fresh air in directness and simplicity. I found myself patently inspired to fashion my parts for this collection of songs that was Jeremy’s own refreshing take on the ‘80s.“ “Get Your Rock On” was mixed by Wyn Davis (Black Sabbath, Dio, Whitesnake, Dokken), and it took more than a year in the studio to make things just the way Brunner wanted, as the guitarist is a bit of a mastermind perfectionist. But it was definitely worth the wait! The X-DRIVE debut positively rocks from beginning to end. http://www.x-drivemusic.com/ https://www.facebook.com/XDriveMusic Tracklist: Love’s A Bitch Get Your Rock On Steppin’ On The Rock Baby Bye Bye California Lay Me Down Turn The Noize Down Beyond the Angels Rattlesnake Eyes Just Can’t Stay Change of Heart Love Breaks the Fool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tts42572 Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 That doesn't sound too bad to my ears...Nice little rock groove to it. If I hear a couple more tunes that intrigue me, I might give it a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 I like that 'California' song plenty. Unassuming, but a cool tune with a good hook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterS Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 This one been getting my attention today. California the standout track but basically well done rock. I'm enjoying it. Not totally into the ballads , but I rarely am. I'll certainly be playing it more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 Good solid disc, very much like Burning Rain, imo. Very, very much. So fans of those guys, take note. My favourite song is definitely the surprise closer, 'Love breaks the fool.' Certainly the most tasty song for melodic rock fans: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCLV0u17cp8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
