Overdrive (Swe) - Back To Basics (1993)

Heavy Metal

Recorded when the band partly reformed with the new vocalist Jörgen Aspring/Miller.

Less than 100 copies were made, all with xeroxed inlay and hand-written labels.

Thanklist: Our patient wives and families, Maxe and Magnus Cederberg at Pama. Roger Karlsson, Karl-Erik Mattsson, Ingolf Persson, Stefan Johansson/Maxi-Import for the cheap TDK-tapes and last but not least - Patrik Isaksson (Big Colors).

Some copies came with a promo letter which said:
One of Sweden's leading metal bands in the mid-80's was Overdrive. The bands brandmark was complex songs with a strong twinguitar attack that rides on a wave of heavy drums and bass. During it's lifetime from 1980-1985 the band made two full length albums, 'Metal Attack' and 'Swords And Axes'. However before that the band released a 12" 5 track EP entitled 'Reflexions'. This was financed by the band themselves and the edition was only 250 copies.

Overdrive will be out on CD!!!
