ADRENALINE MOB - Debut EP Now Available; Streaming In It's Entirety
August 9, 2011, 13 years ago
ADRENALINE MOB - featuring ex-DREAM THEATER drummer Mike Portnoy, SYMPHONY X vocalist Russell Allen, guitarist Rich Ward (STUCK MOJO, FOZZY), guitarist Mike Orlando and bassist Paul DiLeo (NENA) – have released their self-titled debut EP. The EP is available via iTunes, and will be sold in physical form at the band’s upcoming shows and online store.
Self-produced by the band, Adrenaline Mob features four original tracks as well as a blistering cover of the DIO-era BLACK SABBATH classic, 'The Mob Rules'. From the opening riff of 'Psychosane', through the over six-minute epic sounding 'Hit The Wall', it's clear that Adrenaline Mob are in a class all their own as musicians.
"Releasing the EP gives fans around the world a chance to get a taste of the Mob NOW without having to wait until the full length album comes out at the beginning of next year,” states Portnoy.
Adrenaline Mob tracklisting:
'Psychosane'
'Believe Me'
'Hit The Wall'
'Down To The Floor'
'The Mob Rules'
The EP is streaming below:
Hot on the heels of the release of Adrenaline Mob, the band will be heading out on their first ever headline tour on August 14th, which runs through mid-September. The tour kicks off in Allentown, PA and will be making stops in various markets including Chicago, Denver and San Francisco to name a few. A live video of the band performing 'The Mob Rules' from their debut live show can be viewed below and has surpassed 120,000 views since it was put up just over a month ago. The band has also been tapped to open for GODSMACK on select dates of their upcoming tour.
Adrenaline Mob formed in 2011 when Orlando approached Allen with some song ideas. Allen and Orlando refined those ideas at which time Allen reached out to long-time friend Portnoy to see if he had any interest in playing with them. Portnoy jumped on-board and soon thereafter, DiLeo and Ward were recruited to join the family. From the very first note, the chemistry was apparent and the beast that is known as Adrenaline Mob was born.
A full-length release is planned for 2012.
