Original AC/DC frontman, Dave Evans, celebrates the 50th Anniversary of Aussie rockers Rabbit with a brand new album, Defenders of Rock, to be released worldwide on October 31 via Savant Guarde Records.
Defenders of Rock is a bulletproof slab of 100% pure Aussie Rock. It’s all big hook and riffs in the tradition of their most luminous contemporaries. Rabbit still proves 50 years on that this music is as viable today as it ever has been. The album’s title track erupts with scorching lead guitar work from main songwriter and band co-founder Mark Tinson – Evans follows suit with the ageless and electrifying vocal deliveries that give each track on the album that anthemic charge.
Blending seamless old school rock and roll, that unmistakable pub rock attitude and some downright dirty blues swagger, “Defenders of Rock” a memorable classic. With each song clocking in at no more than three and a half minutes, “Defenders of Rock” flies straight out of the gate and works itself into a fury but leaves you wanting just a little bit more.
Dave Evans comments on Defenders of Rock “I was very excited when fellow Rabbit member, Mark Tinson, approached me about doing another Rabbit album. Mark and I never stopped working together; recording through the years with other projects and collaborating on my solo recordings.
The time seemed right for the mighty Rabbit to have a say once again in the world of rock. This album really makes a statement about the state of rock music today and the never say die attitude of true rockers. It’s all killer, no filler and we hope rock fans all over the world will love our new work and be inspired to KEEP ROCKIN¨ !!!
Defenders of Rock has been a long time coming with lead single, We’ll Never Get Too Much Rock n Roll being first released in 2023. It’s a homage to the past but also a nod to the present ‘we started a fire back in 75 and we cant put it out, its still burning wild’
The title is a nod to their 1976 self titled track, to 1976’s Too Much Rock n Roll.
