Cross Country Driver are hitting the scene with an audacious debut entitled ‘The New Truth’
New American rock band Cross Country Driver are hitting the scene with an audacious debut entitled ‘The New Truth’. Hearkening to southern rock vibes with bluesy, melodious riffs, and catchy lyrics, these songs deserve to already be played on classic rock radio.
Featuring Rob Lamothe of Riverdogs fame and James Harper of Fighting Friday, the album is filled with a variety of guest appearances including, but not limited to: Vivian Campbell, Mike Mangini and dUg Pinnick who shines on the first single “A Man with No Direction”. Rock fans of all ages and ilks are sure to jump on this drive and enjoy the trip.
Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the upcoming release of Cross Country Driver's "The New Truth". Written and performed by Rob Lamothe (Riverdogs), James Harper (Fighting Friday), and Zander Lamothe (Logan Staats Band), "The New Truth" is an old-school-rock rollercoaster of an album. This gutsy, continent-and-generation-spanning musical adventure features inspired performances not only from the aforementioned trio at the core of Cross Country Driver, but by friends such as Mike Mangini (Dream Theater), Greg Chaisson (Badlands), dUg Pinnick (King's X), Rhonda Smith (Jeff Beck), Jimmy Wallace (The Wallflowers), KFigg (Extreme) and more…
Two-and-a-half years in the making, “The New Truth” was mixed by Grammy-award winning musician/mixer/engineer/producer Nick Brophy.
Vivian Campbell (Def Leppard, Last In Line, Riverdogs) joins in on guitar and vocals on ‘Risen' and summed up the album best when he said, “Lush, rich, deep and spirited. No one makes records like this anymore. Bravo!”
Rob Lamothe has shared stages with everyone from Guns N’ Roses to members of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. He has toured throughout Europe close to 30 times now. Riverdogs, Rob’s Los Angeles-based rock band, reached global cult status three decades ago and found a new generation of listeners after signing with Frontiers Music Srl a couple years ago for the release of the album, “California”, which received critical acclaim from media and fans alike.
James Harper has been a mainstay in the New England music scene for over 20 years and is known for his high energy performances and chameleon-like ability to play and write in any style. He has performed thousands of shows with one of Boston’s best bands, Fighting Friday, and has written and released countless songs with them, as well as Funk Piranha, The Funeral Puppets and others.
