BURNT OUT WRECK
Debut album ‘Swallow’
'Swallow' lyric video: https://youtu.be/rX_BZmd7LSI
The debut album from ex Heavy Pettin's Gary Moat & Burnt Out Wreck was released Spring 2017.
'Swallow' is a huge slice of full on, punchy classic hard rock with guitar riffs galore! Released on TRHRC through Cherry Red Records, this album is every bit as good as you would expect from one of Scotland's original rock n rollers, Gary Moat.
'Swallow' is co-produced by Gary Moat and Steve Rispin (Asia, Inglorious), mastered by Pete Maher
(U2, The Killers, Jack White, Rolling Stones etc.) and is set for a February 2017 release.
QUOTES:
“Moat proves that neither he nor his band mates live up their moniker, but are a re-energised
musical force. One of the highlight sets of the weekend”.
HRH – UBER ROCK – MARK ASHBY 18/11/17
“These guys play a raunchy, groove laden melodic rock sound. Drawing on the recently released album, Moat demonstrated why these guys merit a shot on the bigger stage with his superb voice”. ROCK POSER
“Classic 80’s style classic rock at its best with these guys”.
MY GLOBAL MIND
“This damn find hard rock, unashamedly pre-nineties and all the better for it”.
ROCKTOPIA
“It’s the kind of album that just sticks in your psyche as you spin it while not totally concentrating. You find yourself coming back to it time and time again”.
DECIBELGEEK
Burnt Out Wreck, fronted by and featuring Gary Moat, are as musically unpretentious and outstanding a band as they are an old-school, classic guitar-rock outfit.
Front man and songwriter Gary Moat, now more than three decades removed from the original Heavy Pettin, is still proving Rock Ain’t Dead, but on very much his own terms – uncompromising riff-led rock that takes the essence of AC/DC and adds sonic swagger and raucous roll in equal measure.
That Burnt Out Wreck sound can be heard to fine effect on debut album Swallow and sophomore release This is Hell, a slightly darker affair that carried both lyrical wit and weighty, guitar-led grit.
The last five years have also seen well-received festival appearances (including a WinterStorm set that elicited an audience response of “one more song!” at set’s end), supporting the likes of Anvil, a clutch of headline shows and a return invite to BonFest, all of which have started to pay dividends for Gary Moat, Alex Carmichael (bass), Paul Gray (drums) and new guitarist Richard Upson (guitarist Andy McLaughlin will also be part of the band for live work).
Burnt Out Wreck will release their third album later in 2022.

'This Is Hell' sees the band ratcheting up the pace with this foot stomping, ball busting hard rock album that'll give the best of them a run for their money!
Quote from Gary Moat: "This is Hell, the title says it all. It’s a hard hitting, fast paced and more focused
album. It’s an angry set of songs that follows on in the same vein as Swallow, but a bigger sound. It has drained me mentally and physically, made in eleven days start to finish, I cracked the whip on the entire band & they agreed it was worth it!"

If you’re a fan of all things classic rock and in particular Bon Scott era AC/DC, one thing you must do is add this album to your collection. It is full of boogie filled, hard hitting, heavy rocking bluesy anthems with plenty of tongue in cheek lyrics and risqué innuendo’s that will make you dream of those bygone years when that band were putting out killer album after killer album.
You never know, the world may yet see another AC/DC album, it may not, but in the meantime and to wet your appetite for an album that may or may not appear, “This is Hell” will float your boat sufficiently to quench your thirst and satisfy your hunger. It may just be that Gary Moat and his four band members have produced the album that AC/DC want to write but don’t.
To sum it up, “This Is Hell” is an album made up of 9 classic rock anthems that will make you bang your head, tap your feet, pull out the air guitar and just get lost in the moment as you play along with the band and sing-a-long to Gary Moat’s innuendo fueled lyrics.
