Day 9 of our 12 Days of Bands You Have to Know goes to Road Crew from Santa Rosa. Road Crew maybe a local band but they have their eyes on the big Rock’n Roll prize. They have a big sound that from the first time I heard them, I had my faith restored in music and now know that Rock n Roll will NEVER DIE! You can read more about that first time here.
Road Crew delivers non stop adrenaline filled rock, high energy shows that will have you thinking you are back on the Sunset Strip in 1984. They are the true “adrenaline junkies”. Check out a teaser for their upcoming video of “Lost”:
Nikki Scott is the rebel on vocals whose gritty voice you will soon fall in love with. He can not only sing the lows and hit the high notes. Jakki Dee is the bass wielding wild man who is pounding out the bass and delivers some sweet backing vocals. Tommy Lee… No, I mean… Derrick (D-Rock) the madman on drums takes the energy level even higher as his thunderous drumming radiates from his Pearl set. Earlier this year, Road Crew announced that Downey Orrick will be taking over as Lead Guitarist and he fits in perfectly with the band and rocks the stage with his Gibson. All four of these guys have an adrenaline filled stage presence and even in the smallest nightclubs, they put on a show as if they were playing stadiums.
Road Crew is currently working on their new album and we asked Jakki about how it is going. Jakki told us that the new album, Adrenaline Jakki…. well, Jakki was hoping for that name. “Adrenaline Junkie” is in the final stages with finishing up backing vocals and then it is off to mix and master! Jakki tells us about which track he most enjoys playing, “Wild Ones is my favorite because Downey sets it on fire and breathes new life into the track,a lot like the rest of the album. Downey told us about his favorite songs to play off the album, “Wild One just because the rhythms are tight and it’s pretty catchy vocally. I like No Regrets a lot too because it’s got more of a spacier feeling to it which contrasts with the rest of the album”. Jakki says, “Expect a swift kick in the ass” with this new album. We are all excited about it.
So now that you are excited, how about checking out a track off the album? Take a listen to their song, “Devil’s Smile” from their upcoming album. It will have you counting down to their new release. I will tell you that I had a chance to get a sneak peak and listen to the album and it is going to be amazing!!! Get ready to rock my friends and join the Road Crew!
