Title - Stand And Fight
Artist - Burnt Out Wreck
Burnt Out Wreck are a hard rock band from the UK formed by ex-Heavy Pettin’ drummer Gary Moat, and who have released three albums to date - ‘Swallow’ (2017), ‘This Is Hell’ (2019), and now the brand new recording, ‘Stand And Fight.’
“These are eleven of the best songs I’ve written. This really was the difficult third album, inspired by the worst one and a half years in my life,” admits front man Gary Moat, adding, “But the end result was worth the struggle and this is something I’m really proud of. I invite you all to Stand And Fight.”
And now Burnt Out Wreck - consisting of front man Gary Moat, bassist Alex Carmichael, lead guitarists Andy McLaughlan and Richard Upson, and drummer Paul Gray - have released their third studio album Stand And Fight via Burnt Out Wreckords on November 18th, 2022.
This, without a shadow of a doubt, sets the tone for the full release in true Gary Moat style, hard rocking and fiercely defiant in tone!

Demonstrating the breadth of Scotland’s original rock n rollers Moat‘s writing skills with his diverse range of songs, the album opens on the throaty roar of Big Yourself Up and the free flowing rock of the titular Stand And Fight, they are eagerly followed by the stalking guitar work within Lion, the acoustically-imbued Ain’t Done Nothing Wrong and then comes the head-banger More Than Anything.
Produced by Steve Rispin, best known for his work with Asia and Yes, along next is the AOR of Pain & Suffering and the Brian Johnson-esque vocalization of Turpentine and they are in turn followed by the artistically-sculpted rock of Blood Sweat And Tears, the free wheelin’ Wake Up, the album rounding out on the pulsating Take It Or Leave It, coming to a close on melodically rhythmic I’m A Loser Too.
This third solo album from original drummer and a founder member of one of the best-loved rockin’ bands of the ’80s and ’90s, albeit
with his band Burnt Out Wreck, will be touring and playing at festivals throughout 2023.
