NEW ALBUM 'VEIL' OUT IN SPRING 2024!
WE ARE VERY EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THE FORTHCOMING RELEASE OF OUR NEW ALBUM ENTITLED ‘VEIL’, OUT IN EARLY 2024.
‘Veil’ promises to deliver in grand Drifting Sun style… expect a few surprises too!
Our new record introduces two amazing new musicians to the fold. Who are they? Okay, okay! We'll tell you!
Fudge Smith is on drumming duties.
He joined us at the Fusion festival in Worcestershire last March and will be banging hard on his kit for the first time on record with us!
Ralph Cardall is the most recent addition to the band. He is currently labouring hard to put down some real tasty guitars on the songs!
Ralph and Fudge join forces with Jargon on vocals, Pat Sanders on keyboards and John Jowitt on bass; the infernal trio who struck a chord or two on "Forsaken Innocence" in 2021!
