Former Black Country Communion stars, singer-bassist Glenn Hughes and drummer Jason Bonham, have formed their new band California Breed, featuring the astounding talents of 23-year-old singer-guitarist Andrew Watt, the fact that their first album has been produced by Dave Cobb, whose spectacular work with Rival Sons has received so much acclaim, gives a big clue as to what they sound like. "It's proper rock," says Hughes, "but at the same time it's very now. Andrew is as influenced by Mick Ronson as he is Jimmy Page." "I grew up listening to all the grunge bands," says Watt, "but my dad always played me The Who, the Stones and Led Zeppelin so that became my music too. "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!"
The three-man line-up got together as California Breed for the first time last year after Hughes was introduced to the newcomer from New York by their mutual friend Julian Lennon. "Julian was having an exhibition of his photographs at the Morrison Hotel Gallery in LA," Glenn recalls, "and he said, 'You must meet this guy, he's the most fantastic guitarist -- who turned out to be Andrew."
Reconvening at Hughes' Hollywood home a few days later, "The chemistry was just instant," says Hughes. "We immediately wrote two songs together, Chemical Rain and Solo, both of which have ended up on the album. That's when I called Jason and said you've gotta come down right now."
"The energy when I walked in the room was crackling," recalls Bonham. "I was so pleased. Glenn and I had not only really locked in as a rhythm section in BCC but we'd started writing together and we both really wanted to keep that good feeling going." Indeed, all 12 tracks on the as-yet untitled forthcoming California Breed album -- the band have signed a deal with signed a deal with the Frontiers label - have equal co-writing credits amongst the band. Recorded at Cobb's Nashville studio, "Everything was done more or less live," says Hughes, "including the vocals. Which is the reverse of how I've always done things".
The end result is a sound that combines all the classic rock elements of BCC -- big, meat-cleaver riffs and heart-rending vocals -- but with a 21st century gloss that comes from working with someone as
up-to-the-minute and talented as Watt (whose previous music can be heard at his Soundcloud page and on the track below, with video directed by Mick Rock).
Look out for Midnight Oil, a raunchy Stones-esque rocker with breathless female backing vocals, deep groove rhythms and face-smacking guitars. The other breakout track is All Falls Down, the kind of spine-tingling pop-rock-who-knows-what that starts all colour and light and finishes all towering harmonies, back-arching guitars and epidemic-sized catchiness.
There are others but, as Hughes says, "This, I promise, is going to be something special."

Within Temptation - And We Run ft. Xzibit
"And We Run" featuring Xzibit, the 4th single from Within Temptation's album HYDRA, undeniably is the most unconventional track of the Symphonic Rock band's successful 6th album.
"Xzibit is amazing!" says Robert Westerholt from Within Temptation. "This song is about how you've got to live your life now. He's rapping at full force on this song, it's really heavy. We've actually planned to have him on a WITHIN TEMPTATION album for a long time, but we never had the right song for him until now. He was perfect because we wanted a real rapper with a deep voice, because that would complement Sharon's vocals. He's a very positive guy with a huge history: he came from a tough background and decided to make something of his life. He really delivered!"
Singer Sharon den Adel adds: "Xzibit brings a new element to WITHIN TEMPTATION that we've never had before! It's a new cross-over and we love it!
Video Director: Tim Smit
