Dreek, one of the hard rock bands of the country, is all set to bring out their self-titled debut album in February. Though the release date has not been finalised yet, the band members expect the album’s post-production work would be completed within a couple of week as they are passing hectic time in the Bengal Studio.
The band, influenced by the popular international hard rock acts of the 80s and 90s, will have a collection of some great numbers in the album for the hard rock enthusiasts.
Hasibul Hossain Upal, band’s founding member and drummer, told to the Dhaka Tribune: “We are putting together nine versatile tracks, mostly hard rock with two romantic ballad, in the album. Besides, we have placed four tracks of the genre which we relish to perform on stage.”
Drawing a huge fan base with the release of three songs - “Tarunner Michile”, “Notun Alo” and “Golok Dhadhaye” - on Radio Foorti last year, the band has already made an impression with their kind of music.
About the album release plan Upal added: “As there is a decline in physical album sales, the album will see online digital release primarily, and later we will bring out a physical version of collector’s edition CD.”
In 2007, Dreek came out on top six in Djuice DRockstars competition and have released four singles since then. They are “Opurnota”, “Adhar Manush,” “Khuji Tomaye” and a tribute to Kazi Nazrul Islam’s song “Jhornar moto Chonchol.”
The band’s current line up beside Upal includes Saif on vocal, Ratul on guitar and Rahi on bass.
