JUNKYARD DRIVE to tour with The Lazys in August/September

26th August 2024 0 By Jon Deaux

Junkyard Drive is, at this point, an unstoppable force. The Danish hard rock band has recently signed to Napalm Events and, after a tour with Steel Panther, and amidst more Summer festivals than they ever played, they just got booked another unbelievable tour. This time, they will support The Lazys throughout the UK, Germany and France, in another massive step forward for the popularity of the band outside of Scandinavia.

Added to this, the Scandinavian five-piece will play several shows with Phil Campbell And The Bastard Sons still in 2024.

Junkyard Drive’s new album, “Look At Me Now”, is available now, after being released earlier this year via Mighty Music. Get it now on CD or one of the two LP vinyl variants (black or red) here.

Junkyard Drive is more energetic than ever before. The new album, with the title “Look At Me Now”, presents a band with new energy and inspiration.

Since 2014, Junkyard Drive has been determined to be the band that provides the soundtrack to life in the fast lane with the audience as passengers. Every time! With three critically acclaimed albums, and lots of concerts and tours in most of the world, they have tried more than most Danish rock bands. Now their fourth album is on the way, and the goal has changed.

On “Look At Me Now”, Junkyard Drive rolls out ten high-octane rock tracks, delivered with flair, precision and lots of energy. One is tempted to say renewed energy because even though Junkyard Drive is largely recognizable on the ten tracks that will be released in April, it is in many ways a changed band that delivers them. A few changes in the line-up and a much-needed look inside the internal relationships have restored focus and renewed the joy of playing. “Look At Me Now” welcomes two new guitarists: Oliver Hartmann and Kristoffer Kristensen. Both come with experience from genres other than rock and that brings new ideas to the table during the songwriting process.

Since we released “Electric Love” in 2022, we have gone through a process that can be heard in the new tracks”, lead singer Kristian Johansen offers. “We are tired of rock music always being put in the booth with draft beer and festivity. We want to show that rock music can develop and that it can contain sensitivity and depth. That’s why we had to go inside ourselves, to write texts that were more honest and that have something more at heart. When you go into yourself, you also have to come face to face with your own weaknesses. It can be a hard, but also very learning process. We have experienced that it has also taken a toll on the band’s internal relationships as you go through topics that can be tough, but we are incredibly proud to have gone through the process, because the lyrics and sound we have created have more layers than we have previously performed”.

“Look At Me Now” was produced by Soren Andersen (Glenn Hughes, Thundermother) and is available now on LP (black and red vinyl editions, the latter being limited to 500 units) CD and digital formats.
