Introducing… The Lowriders!

| On 16, Sep 2011


Introducing… The Lowriders!

The Lowriders are Colchester based four-piece Dave Garlick (vox), Brian Ware (guitar), Adam Parrot (drums) and Jay Chamberlain (bass). Formerly known as Freud, their experience of creating an album from scratch and attempting to release it while maintaining as much creative control as possible feeds into their latest album, Fury.
In 2008 the band decided to turn a new page, leaving their record label behind, renaming the four-piece, creating their own label (Adrenalin Records) and finally releasing their first single under their newfound identity – 2010’s Big Moustache.

The album opens with a flood of distorted guitar and driving percussion, and it rarely lets up. Fury lacks pretension and represents the work of a band who have discovered a sound in which they feel comfortable, and infused it with critically biting lyrics, charting the highs and lows of trying to survive within an increasingly dog-eat-dog music industry.
Their single Who’s Gonna Save Your Soul is the second taken from the album, and is inspired by society’s fixation with the phenomenon of celebrity and the reasons behind it. With an aggressive guitar attack, and an understated vocal that builds into a primal scream as the track progresses, The Lowriders have created a song that harks back to the days when bands would captivate an audience in a smoky bar with their simple, yet effective, rock and roll grooves.
With a history of guerrilla gig campaigns, and a flair for the theatrical, 2011 is sure to mark the completion of the band’s renaissance.
Who’s Gonna Save Your Soul will be released via Adrenalin Records on October 3rd 2011, while the album, Fury will be released on October 31st.
