"Tracer" the exciting three-piece heavy rock band from Adelaide, Southern Australia, are pleased to announce that their debut album, "Spaces In Between", will be released in the UK on Monday October 3rd by the independent Dutch rock label, Cool Green Recordings.
If Robert Plant and Jimi Hendrix made love to the sounds of Audioslave, it would probably sound something like Tracer. With a distinctive sound reminiscent of 90's grunge/stoner rock, mixed with the everlasting bravado of 70's classic rock, Tracer delivers a driving, sonic sledgehammer of sound. The line-up features brothers Michael (vocals, guitar) and Leigh Brown (vocals, bass) and drummer Andre Wise.
Tracer will join Royal Republic as special guest for the second half of their "We Are The Royal" European Tour, taking on 24 dates through France, UK, Germany, The Netherlands and Sweden. The UK leg of the tour starts at the Sheffield Corporation on Monday October 24th.
TRACER - BIOGRAPHY
With a sound reminiscent of 90′s grunge/stoner rock mixed with the everlasting bravado of 70′s classic rock, Tracer is a driving, sonic sledgehammer of massive guitars, clever hooks and raw uncompromising vocals. Forming out of the ashes of blues prodigy band The Brown Brothers in 2004, Michael (Vocals and guitar) and Leigh Brown (Vocals and Bass) teamed up with drummer Andre Wise to make Tracer. With 2 independent releases, 2 international tours and now a record contract under their belt, Tracer is a band that takes every little chance, every crazy idea, and commits everything they have to it.
During 2008 and 2009 Tracer took on an extensive touring schedule with multiple trips to Melbourne, a swag of successful Adelaide shows including a capacity crowd at the Australian album launch for their second critically acclaimed mini-album "L.A.?"
2009 also saw the band share the stage with Little Red, Children Collide, The John Steel Singers and Cassette Kids among others. In late 2009 Tracer set off and toured Europe for three and a half months taking in Germany, the Netherlands, U.K., Denmark, Switzerland and Czech. Tracer also toured as part of The Great Australian Wave (as a showcase at PopKomm in Germany).
Upon returning from Europe the band got busy writing new songs and developing their live show. Demand from overseas led the band to recording 3 new songs to compliment the release of 'L.A.?' in Europe. 'L.A.?' was met with countless praising reviews in German magazines and an expression of interest from Mascot Records in the Netherlands. Due to the success of the 2009 European tour and an increasing demand from overseas, Tracer played Europe once more with a showcase performance at Germany's new format PopKomm Music Conference in Berlin. From this performance the band set off on a string of dates throughout Germany, Czech, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the UK.
The band recently finished recording their debut LP to be released on Mascot's Cool Green Recordings on October 3rd 2011 which will be followed by another international tour.
