Adam Eckersley unfolds the making of AEB’s “The First Album” & “The Second Album”

Music

Adam Eckersley Band (AEB), based on The Central Coast, Australia, are currently signed to Lost Highway Australia.

Their tearaway 2013 debut The First Album won some impressive gains for Adam and the band, hitting the No. 1 spot on the iTunes Country Album Chart and peaking at No. 5 on the ARIA Country Chart, while single “Give Her The World” cracked the CMC Video Chart Top 10 before going on to take out first prize in the country section of the 2014 International Song Writing Competition.

The Second Album certainly sees the AEB take full flight. Reflecting considerable growth in the band’s outlook, it showcases ideas both new – the inclusion of a string quartet being a stirring example – and time-honoured. It all adds up to a collection of eleven tracks that are emblematic of AEB’s striking versatility, impressive range, and clear camaraderie. It’s also penned entirely by Adam and the band – with writing input from DiDia on two tracks – and featuring songwriting on ‘Wheels’ with former Powderfinger frontman Bernard Fanning, as well as Adam’s wife and fellow vocal power-unit Brooke McClymont.

Formed in 2010, currently consists of Adam on lead vocals and guitar, Ben Elliott on drums, Scott Greenaway on bass guitar and backing vocals, Duncan Toombs on guitar and backing vocals as well as Dan Biederman on Hammond Organ and keyboard.

We loved both their debut album ‘The First Album’ and ‘The Second Album’ was released in 2015, we have the chance to catch up with the boys live in the Q Country studio. Enjoy.
