Album Notes

England’s finest export. Formed by drummer Gary “Bulldog” Taylor. When in England, Gary played drums for legendary N.W.O.B.H.M. band Tank and cult rock band Street Fighter (Merv Goldsworthy from the bands FM and Diamondhead, John Sykes from the bands Thin Lizzy and White Snake). When in the US, Gary Played with Reeves Gabriels (David Bowie and Tin Machine) and in NYC’s Sonny Vincent’s Shotgun Rational, touring and recording with members of The Velvet Underground, The Deadboys, The Stooges, Husker Du and more.
In Hollywood, Gary formed Dragstrip, fronted by UK vocalist and showman Kevan Overend. Kevan is a true Rock & Roll star (Remember those?) in the vein of Freddy Mercury and Marc Bolan. From the US, on guitar and vocals, Tommy Norton formerly in Space Age Playboys with Kory Clarke of Warrior Soul fame. Session player Brian Dobbs on bass completed the lineup.
Dragstrip is influenced by the great pedigree of British Rock bands that inspired them, when Rock & Roll was still dangerous, violent and sexy.
