Nikotin announce debut album release and launch concert

Dubai-based hard rock band are set to release their debut album "Panodrama" which includes their hit track 'Overloaded' -  this track that also features a crowd-sourced initiative, the first of its kind in the region, that patches in the voices of the band’s local and International fans.

Dubai, 25 February 2014: Dubai rockers, Nikotin have announced that they will be performing a very special concert at the Hard Rock Cafe on March 8th 2014 to celebrate the release of their debut album, Panodrama. The album release and launch concert caps off an extremely busy and fruitful two years for Nikotin, who since their formation in 2009 have supported several International artists, the likes of Nickelback, Maximo Park and The Kooks to name a few, live in concert.

With a sound that harks their classic hard rock influences that are subtly diffused with impressive melodic riffs, the 5 piece collective will perform their full length debut in its entirety for the very first time.

Through the album setlist, the band will launch into an exploration of their melodic resonance while keeping with their eclectic and grungy hooks that have become their signature front and centre. Also amongst the 8 tracks is "Overloaded" - a crowd favourite at their live shows that instantly catapults the audience into a roaring symphony of the tracks memorable chorus. For their debut album, Nikotin have woven in the voice of their loyal fans by devising a 'crowd-sourcing' idea that gets their followers a whole lot closer to them. The band will express their gratitude with special thanks and a mention of all the names of those who lent their voice for the song's chorus, on their CD inlay.

Produced by Elvis Garagic at Soundstruck Studios in Dubai, the album is an ode to Nikotin's history, distilling a culmination of their individual and combined experiences into 8 tracks bursting with character and energy."It didn't come fast. It certainly didn't come easy. But it's here and we couldn't be happier with the final outcome. This album is the soundtrack to our lives and hopefully the first of many to come!" says Cruize, the lead vocalist when asked what it feels like to be a heartbeat away from release date.

The band are looking forward to unleashing "Panodrama" upon a host of special guests at the Hard Rock Cafe on March 8th with a first time preview before the album hits the stores thereafter.
