Produced by Dave Cobb, the material is, as expected, blues-based hard rock, and its sound draws on inspirations from Led Zeppelin (check Watt's inversion of the "Heartbreaker" riff in opener "The Way"), AC/DC ("Sweet Tea"), early Whitesnake ("Midnight Oil"), and even Alice in Chains ("The Grey"), but California Breed combine and recombine styles in a manner that is consistently their own.

NotesDeluxe edition comes in a glossy digipak with a Bonus DVD including two video clips and one making of the album documentary. Former Black Country Communion stars, singer-bassist Glenn Hughes and drummer Jason Bonham, have formed a new band, California Breed featuring the astounding talents of 23-year-old singer/guitarist Andrew Watt. Glenn and Jason's resumes combined with the fact that their first album has been produced by Dave Cobb, whose spectacular work with Rival Sons has received so much acclaim, gives you a big clue as to what they sound like. Indeed, all 12 tracks on the self-titled forthcoming California Breed album have equal co-writing credits amongst the members. Recorded at Cobb's Nashville studio, 'Everything was done more or less live,' says Hughes. 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.
