Danish hard rockers JUNKYARD DRIVE return with a new album, 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, 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 are 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 out today on LP (black and red vinyl editions, the latter being limited to 500 units) CD and digital formats. 

Lineup:
Kris – lead vocals

After 10 years on the rock scenes, JUNKYARD DRIVE is ready with their new single release, “Tearaway”.

The Danish hard rock band explores the rebellious side of the rock genre, where noise and raw energy are kings, and where society’s rules and norms are challenged.

With this new single, from their upcoming album, Junkyard Drive embraces a new sound and lyrical universe, which is a combination of high energetic tempo and raw expression, with lyrics that celebrate the modern woman who neither wants nor should settle for anything.

“”Tearaway” is our way of saying: Let’s tear it all down and rebuild it on our own terms”, lead singer Kris states. “We want to inspire people to take chances, be rebellious, and disregard rules that don’t make sense”.

Join the premiering here:

A new Junkyard Drive studio album, their fourth, titled “Look “At Me Now”, will be released later this year.

Lineup:
Kris – lead vocals
Oliver Hartmann – guitar
Kristoffer Kristensen – guitar
Claus – drums & cowbell
Sjus – bass

After a promising debut album in 2017, Danish hard rockers JUNKYARD DRIVE were ready to explode in the scene in 2018 with their second studio effort, “Black Coffee”. The timing was right, the band was kinda hot, but no one could expect the amazing collection of songs that the collective would write and record for the album.

The record was an instant success, with hits such as “Where I Belong” “Sweet Little Dreamer” and “Way Too Long” getting massive airplay on Danish radio, topping the streaming charts, and granting Junkyard Drive spots in the main festivals and Denmark and a start to their international career. Today, “Black Coffee” is one of Denmark’s hard rock’s most listened albums online, with over seven million streams on the main platforms. “Where I Belong” is even the most popular Junkyard Drive song, with more than three million streams on Spotify.

Now, after years sold out, “Black Coffee” will finally have a new vinyl edition. It will be available on purple 180-gram LP, limited to 500 copies and hand-numbered. A classic format for a modern classic hard rock album, which the collectors will not want to miss.

“Black Coffee” reissue is out today on LP (180gr purple vinyl, limited to 500 hand-numbered copies). It can be ordered here.

“Black Coffee” tracklist:

1. Time Is Over
2. Sweet Little Dreamer

With more than 100 concerts played, over five million streams, and three records to this day, they’ve solidly planted their flag on the international rock scene, playing the big stages as the one in Sweden Rock Festival and doing the big tours with, for instance, Eclipse.

After the promising debut “Sin & Tonic” in 2027 and hitting success in 2018 with “Black Coffee”, the Danes were back in 2022 with new faces and new razor-sharp songs. the band is now ready with their next record “Electric Love”. “Electric Love” marked a newfound maturity in the group’s universe and made them ready for the high flights that would follow – bigger festivals, bigger tours, bigger numbers, and wider exposure. 

Before taking the next step forward – their biggest ever – Junkyard Drive now takes a deep breath, glances at the past, and reissues one of the stepstones in their career.

Ever since 2014, JUNKYARD DRIVE have been across half the world. With more than 100 concerts played, over five million streams and two records to this day, they’ve solidly planted their flag on the international rock scene, playing the big stages as the one in Sweden Rock Festival and doing the big tours with, for instance, Eclipse. After the success of their most recent album “Black Coffee” with new faces and ten new razor sharp songs, the band is now ready with their next record “Electric Love”. 

“Electric Love” marks a newfound maturity in the group’s universe. Armed with solid and ferocious riffs, the album exposes a hitherto unseen sincerity in the lyrical themes. The teenage days are over in favour of stories about self development, inner tensions and love. 

The album is recorded in the legendary Medley Studios, produced by Soren Andersen (Glenn Hughes, Jesper Binzer, Electric Guitars) and mixed/mastered by Erik Martensson (Eclipse). 

The teenage days might be over, but they remain to be the greatest Danish rock band (below 40). 

“Electric Love” will be released in digital, CD and LP (two colours, each limited to 300 units) by Mighty Music on May 13th, 2022. Pre-orders are available here.
