Freight Train’s debut album, Burnin’ Down The Station
will be a welcome reminder of what balls-out blues-based
hard rock is supposed to be.
Burnin’ Down The Station
is the return of everything
that’s been missing from the
hard rock genre for a
long, long time. Freight Train
is the shining embodiment
of what a power trio is.
In-the-pocket sledgehammer drumming,
thunderous
dynamic bass, blistering guitar riffs,and raw, heartfelt
vocals.
Recorded at Trakworx Studios and produced by
Justin Weis and Freight Train. These guys grew up
listening
to old school hard rock albums from the 60’s,
70’s and 80’s
and decided that to capture the warmth
and awesome live tones
Freight Train shows are known
for, they’d have to record the old
school way: using
2-inch analog tape and playing live in the
room together
as a band, no samples, click tracks or vocal tuning.
What you get is an instant classic. With 11 original
songs
and 2 cover songs, Burnin’ Down The Station is an album
that will always be on your desert island list!.
