THE DRIVING CONDITIONS RELEASE, Their debut Album

 

After most of 2009 spent in the studio,

Brisbane rockers THE DRIVING CONDITIONS are about to

release their debut studio album titled “Full Throttle”

(through Stock Xchange Music and Sony Music on the 2^nd April 2010),

to all major retailers and digital partners. Initial recordings were done

by Jeff Lovejoy who has previously   

engineered The Cruel Sea, Resin Dogs, Regurgitator, Powderfinger, Butterfingers and

Custard at ‘Black Box Studios’,

Brisbane and final recording by Ean Redman at ‘Sounds Like Butter Studios’, Brisbane.

               Pre-production by ARIA hall of famer Geordie Leach (Rose Tattoo) and mastered by Steve Smart ( Powderfinger,  Evermore, The Living End & 

radio Birdman to name a few) at 301 Studios, Sydney.

 The combination of these well known

engineers and producers have recorded a classic Australian Rock ‘n’ Roll

sound that this album will be remembered for.

 THE DRIVING CONDITIONS (TDC) are quickly earning

themselves a reputation as one our countries

most promising and exciting Rock n Roll bands. TDC have achieved some great feats

over the years including sell-out headlining shows on their

home soil of Brisbane, a Sydney tour opening for rock legends Rose Tattoo,

supporting roles for Jimmy Barnes, Dallas Crane and The Screaming Jets,

as well as performing to over 1 million viewers on Channel 10's, Big Brother Friday Night Live.

                  With the following tour dates confirmed 2010 is shaping up to be a very exciting year for both TDC and Australian Rock ‘n’ Roll fans alike.

13^th March: Newcastle Leagues Club, Newcastle.

 20^th March: Miami Tavern, Gold Coast.

With glowing "Live" show reviews in respected street press publications such

as ‘Time Off’ and ‘Rave Magazine’, as well as editorials in

Sydney street press ‘Drum Media’ there is certainly a buzz beginning to build for TDC.

Time   Off entertainment writer Mike Beresford writes,

As soon as they step onto the stage the entire room dynamic shifts and

is set alight by the sounds of ‘Straight To Hell’. 

With frontman ‘Woody’ strolling the stage with piercing Bon Scott vocals

it’s no surprise that the sweat is already

starting to fly from crowd and band alike.

Straight up rock is probably the only way to describe these guys

as they follow with ‘Black Hawk Down’. Dripping with bourbon and

perspiration they kick it up another notch with ‘Eat You Alive’ and ‘Rock N Roll’.

But it’s not just the great pub tunes

that are getting the crowd working; it’s the fact that these guys are actually great musicians,

which is a rare thing to see in guitar-driven rock.

With guitarist Nathan Ward constantly shredding every lick he gets,

it shows that these guys are the real deal.

They throw in a tribute to AC/DC

with ‘If You Want Blood’ before charging in with all guns blazing for ‘Old School’.
