Junkyard Drive

Junkyard Drive is the new rising star in Danish Rock n’ Roll with soaring riffs, one of the best Rock vocalist in scandinavia and a tasteful degree of nostalgia. Junkyard Drive’s reputation is as one of the most energetic and explosive live bands in Denmark. Wearing black leather jackets, they capture the audience with their old school Rock n' Roll. In the 80s Guns n’ Roses was called' 'The most dangerous band in the world' in 2018 that band is from Denmark and they are called Junkyard Drive! So if you are into honest Rock N’ Roll you will not be dissapointed. Junkyard Drive has toured most of Northern Europe including the Baltic Nations. In the fall of 2016 Junkyard Drive toured USA and Mexico with great success. In 2018 the band will be touring around the southern part of Scandinavia, headlining and playing at several festival, among them the legendary Sweden Rock Festival. In 2017 the band released their debut album Sin & Tonic recorded at the legendary Medley Studios by producer Soren Andersen (Glenn Hughes, Dead Daisies, Mike Tramp). The album has been praised by critics and fans alike. The first single from the album Sin & Tonic, Geordie, based on an old folk song from Northern England, has had extensive airplay in Denmark and abroad. The song has garnered a loyal following throughout their home country. There seems to be no stopping the band from Roskilde Denmark who will release their sophomore album titled Black Coffee on september 2018. The album will be recorded at Medley Studios once again. They are dedicated to their craft and know how to write Rock n’ Roll music done to a level of perfection fitting the genre. 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.” Read more on Last.fm.
