Biography:

“I’ve got rock n roll in my soul / Rock n Roll I’m losing control / Baby Rock n Roll will save my soul / Rock n Roll… It’s just rock n roll”

These chorus lines are the true reflection of the mindset and way of life of the members of Australian rock band The Driving Conditions (TDC). It’s a path that is demonstrated on-stage through their give-it-your-all, sweat-soaked, high-energy live, and about to be brought into the home of the Australian public with the scheduled release of release their debut studio album titled “Full Throttle” (through Stock Xchange Music and Sony Music on the 29th March 2010), to all major retailers and digital partners. Recorded by Jeff Lovejoy who has previously engineered The Cruel Sea, Resin Dogs, Regurgitator, Powderfinger, Butterfingers and Custard at ‘Black Box Studios’, Brisbane and Ean Redman at ‘Sounds Like Butter Studios’, Brisbane.
Produced by ARIA hall of famer Geordie Leach (Rose Tattoo) and mastered by Steve Smart (Powderfinger, Evermore, The Living End & radio Birdman to name a few) at 301 Studios, Sydney.
The combination of these well known engineers and producers have recorded a classic Australian Rock ‘n’ Roll sound that this album will be remembered for.

Press:

“Now this is the Rock and Roll one would expect from an Aussie band and indeed THE DRIVING CONDITIONS is a band from Australia playing typical Aussie Rock and Roll. AC/DC, ROSE TATTOO, KINGS OF THE SUN, THE ANGELS, AIRBOURNE, the list is endless, with now another band to add, namely THE DRIVING CONDITIONS. Actually they do remind me a lot of BON SCOTT era AC/DC (thanks to their shouter WOODY, who has the perfect voice for this kind of Rock!) and late 70s/early 80s KROKUS, which of course is a good thing. Although that has been done many times before since AC/DC set a landmark back in the 1970s, this THE DRIVING CONDITIONS is really doing it quite excellent. The band’s straight-forward hardrock sound is very catchy actually and thanks to strong vocal work, tight guitar rwork backed by a strong rhythm section and some great singable choruses, this THE DRIVING CONDITIONS could become the next big band after AIRBOURNE.”
Strutterzine

“The Driving Conditions are full blown graduates of Oz's old school rock which counts AC/DC, The Angels and Rose Tattoo among its illustrious alumni. They make no apology for the formula, and neither they should. Like those established bands 'Eat You Alive', 'Str8 2 Hell' and 'Be Mine' are pub rock, strip joint, meat'n'potatoes hard rock, where the unembellished riff - a primal force that drives raw, knowing, often tongue in cheek vocals - is king. But also like those established bands, DC elevate the music to art form, where the apparent simplicity of battle hardened songs actually takes years of graft, treading the boards and checking out audience response. A glance at the track list might see you write the band off as clichéd at best, dinosaurs at worst. But behind songs like 'Daddy's Girl', 'Crazy Bitch' and 'Striptease' there's an extremely talented band who seem to be spinning gold out of grime. One to watch. Style: hard rock Rating: 7.5/10 ”

“Ok well after last nights effort it is easy to see why these guys are heading to europe, after a full night of some of Brisbanes finest bands T.D.C came out and blew everyone away with their classic Rock Riffs That only a band like AC/DC could compare to. It was a great night and enjoyable for everyone that took part. Good Luck Guys. Rock On!!”
