    The Lowriders release debut album - Fury!



    After releasing their amazing single, Who's Gonna Save Your Soul in early October, The Lowriders have returned, finishing off the month with the release of their raw and energetic debut album, Fury

    The Lowriders are Colchester based four-piece Dave Garlick (vox), Brian Ware (guitar), Adam Parrot (drums) and Jay Chamberlain (bass). Their 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.

    The band's journey started in 2008, when they collectively 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.
    You can stream and download it via the ABoF SoundCloud page.

    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.

    Fury was released via Adrenalin Records today. You can buy it for £7.99 from iTunes and £6.99 from Amazon.
