Get ready for a Danish rock n roll explosion!!
Their hit song "Geordie" from last year's well received debut album "Sin & Tonic" has now reached 500.000 plays on Spotify (over 1 mio on all digital streaming platforms) and 200.000 views on Youtube and the band has just confirmed a European tour with British metal legends Diamond Head.
But if you thought this was it for Junkyard Drive you are wrong! 2018 will not be any kind of stagnant or boring for this Danish hard rock band!
Junkyard Drive, that is one of the hottest names coming from Denmark at the moment, has just finished their new album 'Black Coffee', which is recorded in Medley Studios in Copenhagen, with Soren Andersen (Glenn Hughes, Mike Tramp, Jesper Binzer) as producer.
The album is now ready to be released world wide through Mighty Music on September 1st 2018.
"Black Coffee" contains 11 hard rocking tracks. Just the way it should be, with a band that has developed a lot since their formation. And you can actually hear that it in the sound!
Earlier this summer Junkyard Drive released their first single "Sweet Little Dreamer" from the coming album. The song is a washy 70/80's power ballad that encapsulates the 60's hippie vipes in the melodic verses that escalate in a magnificent ambition, as if taken out of a 70's power bell followed by an artistic guitar solo, and a Black Sabbath-inspired C-piece! Sweet Little Dreamer is a song where music, lyric and video go in the same direction!
