NEWS: Autozamm & Black River Drive Album Release Tour

Double barrel rock line up, Autozamm and Black River Drive announce a co-headlining National Album Tour in November Autozamm’s ‘5th Degree’ album was released yesterday, 11th October to already rave reviews.

The album features 10 tracks including “Want It, Need It” and their track “Breathe” which is featured on the new TV One Commercial. Produced by renowned Los Angeles native Krish Sharma (Rolling Stones, The Cult, Perry Farrell, Counting Crows) the album captures the band’s real live sound.

“5th Degree is a massive leap for Autozamm, we have made a record that truly represents who we are as a band. I’m so proud of what we've achieved.” - Nick Major, singer.

And achieved they have. With a plethora of performances supporting The Black Crowes, Seether, Powderfinger, Silverchair, INXS and Shihad and appearances at events such as the Big Day Out, Homegrown and Southern Amp have seen the band cemented as powerful large-stage festival performers. Add to that the string of radio and Music TV hits, and you have NZ’s finest.

Described as Razorwire Rock, Black River Drive’s debut album ‘Perfect Flaws’ was released on October 4 and the reviewers are lapping it up.

Featuring singles ‘Everywhere’ and current single ‘Call the Doctor’, their second single ‘Bullet For Your Gun’ peaked at #1 on The Rock 33 and held NZ’s Number 1 Rock Radio spot for over 5 weeks - topping the legendary ACDC to get there.

Produced by Greg Haver and Chris Van de Geer, with the majority being mixed by Tim Palmer (Pearl Jam, Ozzy, HIM, The Cure, U2), ‘Perfect Flaws’ draws it’s influences from the raw rock’n’roll shake of Queens of the Stoneage and AC/DC through to the nihilistic ferocity of Nine Inch Nails.  Itching to head back out across NZ following their last sell out shows on the State of Rock Tour with Luger Boa and I Am Giant in June, Black River Drive are ready to carve again, deep in the pulsing heart of rock!
