There are few live acts that fire with as much energy and innovation as Australia's own Nubreed. Finally, it can be said that their debut album “The Original” is on the way with label Vicious saying it will hit stores in Australia on 26 April.
“The Original” comprises a mix of songs with rock inspired vocals from lead singer DB, sandwiched between tough breakbeats, twisted basslines, and the occasional flow of hip hop from their MC Mykel and beatboxing from Jase. In the process of making the album they have collaborated with Koolism, Andy Page and Luke Chable. The first single to be lifted from the “The Original” will be the favourite “One Day” with remixes from Poxy Music, Luke Chable and the Dirty Fours. “One Day” hits clubs and radio nationally prior to the release of the album and will be accompanied by a stunning video commissioned from one of Australia’s leading video production companies, EXIT films.
While a version of the album has received prior release in the UK through breakbeat label Mob Recordings, the Australian version through Vicious encapsulates more of the groups work and comes a limited edition bonus second disc of NuBreed b-sides, remixes and rarities mixed by Australia’s No. 1 DJ Phil K.
To mark the release of their new album, NuBreed will embark on an Australia-New Zealand tour with a brand new live show, where they’re joined by ex-Wicked Beat Sound System drummer Dave Jizz. Keep reading RA for tour details.
