ADRENALINE MOB guitarist Mike Orlando is featured in a new interview with Elliot Levin at the NY Hard Rock Music Examiner. An excerpt is available below:

Examiner: Last summer you and the band gave the first listen of Adrenaline Mob at Hiro Ballroom, and while you’ve released some videos and streaming songs online, Monday night’s show will really be debut of the finished songs again. What made you decide that live shows were the best way to present the music, both last summer and this time around?

Mike: "Because we’re a live band. There’s no doubt. The energy that comes between me, Russ, and Portnoy is just electric, and now that we have John Moyer in the band it’s on fire. This is a live band. There is no shadow of a doubt about that. We take the songs to a different level. Energy-wise, power-wise, we feed off each other on that stage. People always say 'you look like you’re having so much fun,' we are! We’re having a blast playing together. We just get each other psyched up on this. I’ve been in so many lineups over the years, and this is pretty magical."

Examiner: What’s the long term plan for Adrenaline Mob? You have John from DISTURBED on bass, and obviously Disturbed is on hiatus for now, but are you guys planning more than six months or a year ahead at this point?

Mike: "Without a doubt! I plan on talking to you on our 8th album! We plan to keep John in the fold as well and all write together and it’s going to be incredible. We plan to build this... John said it perfectly in an interview he did. He said 'I plan to make Adrenaline Mob have the same success Disturbed did.' That’s the plan! I echo his words."

Examiner: So you guys are all in for the long haul.

Mike: "Without a doubt. I mean I love the project thing, but this is a band and we are here to stay."

According to a press release: 2012 is shaping up to be some year for Adrenaline Mob. The band, featuring the powerhouse vocals of Russell Allen, the shredding guitar attack of Mike Orlando and the drumming virtuosity of Mike Portnoy, just found the missing piece their lineup needed. John Moyer, half of the rhythmic backbone of multi platinum rock juggernauts Disturbed, is stepping in to fill the recently vacated bass player spot. They all got together and after one jam session, the band knew they had found the newest member of the family.

Says Moyer: “Mike Portnoy called me about auditioning for his new band Adrenaline Mob. He had heard through the grapevine that I was looking to stay busy while Disturbed is on hiatus. After jamming with Russ, MO, and Portnoy, the chemistry as musicians was undeniable. I am super stoked about joining "The Family" and I can't wait to hit the road with these guys and see what kind of musical mayhem we can create!”

Adrenaline Mob will release their debut full-length album, Omertá, on March 13th. Serving as the follow-up to Adrenaline Mob's self-titled EP, Omertá will be released in North America by the newly formed Elm City Music in conjunction with EMI Label Services.
