TRACER was recently voted third place in Planet Rock's "Best New Band" listeners' poll. Over the past four months the station has played the singles Too Much and Devil Ride, both taken from Tracer's debut critically acclaimed album Spaces In Between.  The upcoming UK headline tour follows Tracer's 2011 tour supporting Royal Republic. TRACER has captured the excitement and adrenalin rush of rock'n'roll. Tracer's sound embodies the same raw dynamics and edge to that of Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Queens of the Stone Age and Black Sabbath. Classic Rock magazine recently deemed them "New Band of the Month", while Total Guitar, Rock Sound, Guitarist, Fireworks and Powerplay awarded the debut 4 stars.  Hailing from Adelaide, South Australia, the trio embrace a sonic sledgehammer sound steeped in epic guitars, thunderous riffs and raw, uncompromising vocals.  Their Australian blend of 90's stoner and 70's classic rock continues to win them new fans.

TRACER - OFFICIAL 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 released their debut LP via Mascot's Cool Green Recordings on October 3rd 2011. Following the release of the album, the band toured the UK and Europe as support to Royal Republic.

In 2011, their single "Too Much" was A-listed on Planet Rock Radio in the UK for three months. The band generated over 50,000 views for their Too Much video on YouTube.  In December 2011, Planet Rock started A-listing Tracer's second single "Devil Ride".

Due to popular demand, Tracer will return to the UK and Europe for their first headline tour in April 2012.
