   About DRAG THE RACER


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
English Biography

Drag The Racer


DRAG THE RACER from Sittard (The Netherlands) has been around for quite a while now. For years the guys have been moving around in the Limburg rock scene.
First, in the form of the band called Yo, el Rey. At one point there were some changes. Thijs (former Superhero) joined us on the bass and Peter van Mulken on the drums. In that formation we almost made it to the finals of Nu of Nooit 2006. After that amazing show Peter moved away and quit the band, forcing us to take a break.

But that didn’t stop us! In the end it worked out for the best, as we finally found the drummer we were looking for in a new, young and energetic guy called Paul Van den Hof (former Epiphany), so once again we are ready to ROCK the stages.

You will hear us perform old and brand new songs these days. We’re still working on new songs and you can expect a new EP later this year!

DRAG THE RACER is known for it’s energetic 'ALL OUT' performances.
Our Biggest influences are:

At The Drive In
Deftones
Life of Agony.

So be prepared for a mix of Rock, Grunge and Hardcore.
Are you ready? WELL WE ARE!!
3,2,1 GO!!!!!!!!

Hier is:
Drag The Racer

Drag The Racer gaat hard, heel hard!!! De band mengt de energie van At the drive-in met de pompende rock-metal van bijvoorbeeld Life of Agony tot een rockshow die je niet snel zal vergeten. Hun muziek bevat invloeden van Alternative en Grunge tot Punk en Stonerrock. De band houdt zich niet strikt aan een bepaalde stijl waardoor het repertoire divers en boeiend blijft.

De demo cd “Running on Karma (old style)” is een verzameling van nummers gemaakt door de leden van Drag The Racer uit het heden en verleden, maar de nummers worden allen nog steeds ten gehore gebracht. Deze cd wordt dan ook uitsluitend gebruikt ter promotie van de band.

Drag The Racer opereert vanuit Sittard (Limburg, Nederland) met bandleden die in het verleden hun strepen hebben verdiend in bands als “Yo, el Rey”, “Rogue”, “Superhero” en “Epiphany”. Ze hebben dan ook al heel wat ervaring binnen het popcircuit.

Drag the Racer is er helemaal klaar voor. Dus dames en heren: Fasten your Seatbelts!
