UK PREMIERE – Junkyard Drive – They Don’t Care About Us
Junkyard Drive are the hottest band in Denmark right now! They have had millions of streams and views, they are currently No. 1 on the vinyl chart as well as having two successful albums under their belt. They are about to embark on a 30 date European tour starting in the Autumn and they have just released this tribute to King of Pop, Michael Jackson.
The band have decided to create their own version of the Michael Jackson hit, “They don’t care about us”, because this year marks the 10 year anniversary of Michael’s passing.
Junkyard Drive would like to pay their tribute to Michael Jackson’s music and the incredible effect he has had on modern day music. They wanted to show that “just” because you play hard rock, you are also inspired and influenced by soft pop, as well as other genres.
The choice fell on “They don’t care about us” as it must be described as one of Michael Jackson’s most timeless, meaningful, and strong songs, while it just sounds really good as a rock track.
Junkyard Drive’s cover is not a song that is played live. It is not a track that goes on an album. It has been made solely as a studio recording which, with the big production involved, could only be played live using backing tracks. Junkyard Drive DO NOT use backing tracks. They are the real deal!
The song was recorded in Medley Studio and produced by Soren Andersen who has also worked with Glenn Hughes, Mike Tramp and Phil Campbell to name but a few.
