Absolution - Dusty Road (2014)

Originally Absolution formed in May 2010 with the sole purpose of fulfilling an obligation for a 40- minute support slot. Now, with the 3rd album, ""Dusty Road"" just released - following healthy sales and critical acclaim for both their debut album, ""Issues"" (2012) as well as the follow-up live effort ""Live From The Front,"" (2013) along with a fast-growing international fan base - that 40 minute support slot has over-run somewhat! Absolution create an electrifying sound. If in need of comparisons then they are best described as a Blues-Rock power trio, projecting the excitement of Cream, and containing trace elements of early ZZ Top with a bit of Joe Bonamassa thrown in for good measure! However, the three musicians from different backgrounds inject sufficient different styles into their music to distinguish them from the pack, not in the least via their quality original songs. Having already shared the stage with many established Blues acts; they are now headlining theatres and clubs and also managed to fit in a storming set at the British Rock & Blues festival in January 2013! The band took home two awards at the 2013 WRC Awards - ""Ones To Watch"" and ""Best Guitar Solo"". Absolution are an exhilarating live act, infusing energy and enthusiasm into every gig they play. Expertly executing their original material, they also throw in a few classic Blues anthems for good measure, keeping the feel of the original intact while still putting their own unique stamp on everything they play! Both Blues purists and Blues-Rock aficionados everywhere have not been disappointed yet by an Absolution concert! Absolution have recently inked a deal with Blues Boulevard Records for the worldwide release of their third album ""Dusty Road."" Recording the album at OneCat Studios in London, the band produced the 12 original songs themselves; entrusting label-mate Rob Tognoni with the mastering.
