About Nitrate

Melodic/hard rock band formed 2015 by Nick Hogg in Nottingham, United Kingdom. Inspired by the late 80's rock scene with bands such as Def Leppard, Europe, Mötley Crüe, Bon Jovi and GNR, Nitrate is the brainchild of Nick Hogg (guitars / keyboards) who after playing in a few bands in the early 2000's decided after a long absence from the music scene to get into song writing again. Needing help, Nick enlisted songwriter / musician Rob Wylde (Midnite City / Tigertailz / Teenage Casket Company / Vega) who was back living in Nottingham from the US and had the same musical influences. Rob was able to structure / produce the songs, sing on the demo's whilst playing drums, bass and guitar. Whilst Nick also played guitar and keyboards. A year on and with over an album worth of material, a record contract was signed with Melodic Rock records. With Rob Wylde about to launch Midnite City, the hunt went on for a suitable vocalist to allow Rob the opportunity to focus on launching his new band. Andrew McNeice (Melodic Rock records) suggested a few vocalists and was keen to use an authentic 80's singer, so Nick took the opportunity to contact Joss Mennen (Zinatra / Mennen) and asked if the would be interested in singing lead vocals on the album. (Zinatra's 'Great Escape' being one of Nick's favourite albums). To complete the line-up, taking over mixing / drums and adding backing vocals to the album is Pete Newdeck (Midnite City, Eden's Curse, Blood Red Saints, Newman). After being mixed by Newdeck, the songs were sent to Harry Hess (Harem Scarem) who mastered them at his studio in Canada.
