Tremendous is a UK based band heavily influenced on T.Rex/David Bowie. Their single Like Dreamers Do is released 1st June with an album due at the end of this year with shows to be announced end of May.
The track is dedicated to Mark Dudzinski’s manager/close friend the late Adrian Millar who passed away of a sudden heart attack. He was known for his work with The Babys/Black Sabbath and was recorded in Knislinge/Sweden and half of the album has production duties from Gavin Monaghan (Kings Of Leon/Rob Plant/The Editors).

We managed to catch up the band as they talked about their upcoming single and more!
How pumped are you to be releasing your debut single Like Dreamers Do in June?
Cant wait! The reception we have had has been incredible.
Can you tell me something about this track no one else knows?
Erm….well it was recorded in Sweden at Black Gold Studios with additional overdubs/mastering in London. It’s funny
because if you listen to the guitar solo 3/4 way into the song we thought the guitar amp was gonna explode. It really
was on its last legs! You can hear it popping and crackling, people think its some kind of effect but its actually a
small valve amp about to burst into flames haha.
Just how much did Adrian Millar mean to you?
He was a one off…an Enigma. He was one of the last larger than life characters in the industry. He had a big influence
on me in music and in life…i owe him a lot.
Can you tell me something about your upcoming album also?
Yeah we are looking on releasing it sometime at the end of this year. It was recorded at various studios in the Midlands,
London and Sweden. Some tracks were recorded with Gavin Monaghan known for his work with Kings Of Leon, Robert Plant,
The Editors to name a few.
If you could work with any band on a new song, who would it be and why?
Nothing too serious…it’s “Spinal Tap enough” with Tremendous…if Will Ferrell and Jon C Reilly had a group then I’d be
all over that. Other than that I dunno…maybe early Adam & The Ants?
What do you get up to in your spare time when not working on music?
I’m a bit of a hoarder when it comes to vintage clothing…other than that I’m a drunk haha.
What was the first gig you ever went to?
Slayer…I was about 14. I pulled a muscle in my neck and had to go to school next day looking all lopsided like I just been
lynched. But then I saved on painkillers soon after as i got into The Beatles.
Any tours or festivals lined up for 2018?
Yeah hopefully a small but modest tour closer to the release of the album at end of the year.
