Glenn Hughes hat nach der Auflösung von Black Country Communion die Band CALIFORNIA BREED ins Leben gerufen. Mit dabei Jason Bonham (der Sohn von John Bonham/Led Zeppelin) und das 23 jährige Multitalent Andrew Watt (Gesang/Gitarre). Der Energie und rohen Wildheit dieses Albums kann man sich nicht entziehen. Man könnte meinen California Breed wären die Essenz des ROCK!
Pressestimmen:
eclipsed: "Das Album wirkt über 50 Minuten lang wie ein in Stein gemeißeltes Statement."
E.M.P.: "Ihr formidables Debut ist eine wahrhaftige Rock 'n' Roll-Explosion und donnert mit einer urgewaltigen Wucht durch die Röhrenverstärker und begeistert mit 13 (inkl. Bonustrack) inspirierten Rockgranaten, die sich wahrhaftig gewaschen haben."
Stereoplay (music 8/10): "Erstaunlich, wie nah dieses Power-Paket oft dem originalen Zeppelin-Sound kommt... Herrlicher Krach..."
Rock Hard soundcheck #4/50: "Die ersten fünf Songs sind ausnahmslos Geniestreiche... wobei insbesondere die unglaubliche Gesangsleistung des 62-jährigen Hughes immer wieder Kinnladen runterklappen lässt. In dieser späten Topform und mit diesen exzellenten Sidekicks darf uns Glenn gerne noch diverse weitere Scheiben um die Ohren hauen!"
Good Times: "Mann, oh Mann, die Drei-Generationen-Combo CB versteht es, zu rocken und den Terminus Powertrio neu zu definieren. ... Ein starkes Debüt!"
Classic Rock – (über "Sweet Tea"): "Black Country Communion ohne Bonamassa bedeutet weniger Blues Rock und mehr 70s-Rock. Eine positive Entwicklung: Denn die erste Single von California Breed klingt deutlich unvorhersehbarer und gefährlicher als Glenn Hughes' und Jason Bonhams letztes Projekt."
Classic Rock - Tipp: "...eine extrem spannende und doch urige Rock'n'Roll Platte."
Metal Hammer: "...ehrlicher, dreckiger und direkter. ... Auf Ohrwurmnummern wie ‘Midnight Oil’ warten andere Rock-Recken jenseits der Sechziger seit Jahren vergeblich; Hughes haut sie gleich zuhauf raus."
Oxmox (Top 10 Album der Ausgabe) 5/6: "Dreckiger, blues-lastiger Sound im Stil Zeppelin/Hendrix ist Trumpf..."
Rocks: "Der Charme dieser stark fordernden Scheibe liegt in ihrer Authentizität..."
Bonnticket: "Classic Rock in seiner ganz puren Form von tollen Musikern dargeboten. Es wäre kein Wunder, wenn dieses Trio den Erfolg von BCC weiterführen würde. Top-Album!"

CALIFORNIA BREED:
--NEW POWERHOUSE TRIO--
FEATURING LEGENDARY VOCALIST-BASSIST GLENN HUGHES,
DRUMMER EXTRAORDINAIRE JASON BONHAM AND
23-YEAR-OLD NEWCOMER GUITARIST-SINGER-SONGWRITER ANDREW WATT
ARE SET TO RELEASE THEIR FIRST SELF-TITLED DEBUT ALBUM IN MAY
AVAILABLE ON CD AND CD/DVD DELUXE EDITION--ON FRONTIERS RECORDS
Think of California and you think of brilliant color and bright sunlight. Think of a breed and it's all about bloodlines and brotherhood. Put the two together as CALIFORNIA BREED, and you have the most exciting new band of 2014, built around the foundation of legendary vocalist-bassist Glenn Hughes, drummer extraordinaire Jason Bonham and 23-year-old newcomer guitarist-singer-songwriter Andrew Watt. Mixing massive riffs, gutsy vocals and gale force rhythms, this powerful three-piece band will release their self-titled debut album May 16th in Europe and May 20th in North America on Frontiers Records. It was produced by Dave Cobb (Jamey Johnson, Rival Sons, Shooter Jennings and more). Look out for future announcements on the band at www.californiabreed.com.
CALIFORNIA BREED (album cover art pasted below) was recorded at Cobb’s Nashville studio and features equal co-writing credits among the three-man lineup. “It’s proper rock,” Hughes told ClassicRockMagazine.com (2/6), “but at the same time it’s very now. Andrew is as influenced by Mick Ronson as he is Jimmy Page.” “This kid is amazing,” says Bonham. “The first time we met I thought he looked like the white Jimi Hendrix. And he plays in the studio likes he’s onstage!”
Glenn Hughes, 'The Voice Of Rock', is a true original, a legendary icon whose credits include Deep Purple and guesting with everyone from Black Sabbath to Earth, Wind & Fire — up to his most recent collaboration in rock supergroup Black Country Communion. No other rock musician has carved such a distinctive style blending the finest elements of hard rock, soul and funk. That astonishing voice is Hughes' calling card. The legacy of Led Zeppelin lives on in Jason Bonham, British drummer and son of Zep's legendary John Bonham. He has inherited the best of his father's skills while mastering his own distinctive and dynamic technique. Jason has followed his own distinctive path over the years, fronting his own successful outfits like Bonham, and playing with Led Zeppelin, Foreigner, Heart and, most recently, movie composer Hans Zimmer. Andrew Watt is a soulful singer/songwriter & multi-instrumentalist whose high-energy aggressive style & creative spirit are synonymous with New York City. Hughes says: “I live in the moment, it’s all about NOW, California Breed is exactly where I live, breathe and where my freak flag flies.”

About CALIFORNIA BREED:
Glenn Hughes has spent the subsequent years working with the biggest legends in music, as a solo star, and guesting with everyone from Black Sabbath to Earth, Wind & Fire – up to his most recent collaboration in rock supergroup Black Country Communion, which included Jason Bonham. When Black Country Communion disbanded Hughes and Bonham had a strong desire to keep playing together. They're only challenge was finding a new guitarist worthy of their musicality. Easier said than done for these stars who between them have worked with some of the greatest guitarists in history – including Ritchie Blackmore, Tony Iommi, Jimmy Page and Joe Bonamassa, to name just a few. Then fate took a hand in things when Glenn’s friend Julian Lennon introduced him to the astounding talents of a New York City hotshot guitarist named Andrew Watt. “Literally, the first day me and Andrew got together we wrote two songs,” recalls Glenn. “One was ‘Chemical Rain’ and the other was ‘Solo’, both of which are now on the finished album. I was so moved by the music, I said, ‘We’ve got to record this!’ That’s when I called Jason.” Cut to autumn 2013. Recording with Dave Cobb at the producer’s own studio in Nashville, added all the finishing touches, says Glenn. At Cobb’s insistence, every vocal was recorded live as the band was playing. “Totally the reverse of what I’m used to,” says Glenn. “But I went into that aggressive rock soulfulness and everything down to the whispers, it was all done live! I enjoyed myself so much, just going for it. For what is on paper a three-piece, the sheer range of sounds and melodies you get from California Breed are breathtaking.
