J. D. Overdrive?s sophomore studio album titled ?Fortune Favors The Brave? will be released on May, 27th in Europe (July, 2nd in US) and today you can watch the video clip promoting the album. ?Funeral Stopper? is available on Metal Mind Productions? official channel on YouTube in THIS location.

Michał "Stempel" Stemplowski, the band?s guitarist comments: ?The good old MTV doesn?t exists anymore so some people see no point in making a video clip. But not us. You can upload your music along with a video on the internet almost on the go so why shouldn?t we use that tool? We decided to shoot a video for the track ?Funeral Stopper?, which is a killer track at our gigs. Apart from standard band shots, it features a short story of a guy led by us through the forest with a bag on his head and bound hands. The presence of shovels and a baseball bat on the set was not accidental! And, apparently, some people didn?t find it very funny? we realized this when some very serious-looking policemen got on the set shouting ?Drop it right now!? Someone must have called the police! Luckily, no one was hurt and the policemen let us finish the recording of the video.?

The band was formed in 2007 when guitarist Michal ?Stempel? Stemplowski (along with drummer Luksus and bassist Kuba) recruited vocalist Wojciech ?Susel? Kaluza for his new rock project dubbed Jack Daniels Overdrive. They self-released their debut EP called ?Pure Concentrated Evil", which received a bunch of great reviews in various webzines and magazines. They played their very first show supporting Jesus Chrysler Suicide (a legendary Polish act) and the following two opening for Beatallica. In the meantime the band experienced two line-up changes, welcoming in their ranks drummer Lukasz ?Jooras? Jurewicz and bassist Lukasz ?Peo? Pomietło. In March 2009 they were given the honor of performing in Krakow with the living legend of stoner metal ? Phil Anselmo's Down. In the following months came the inevitable ? they changed their name to J. D. Overdrive to avoid legal problems with the Tennessee tycoon. And just when they thought that nothing can surprise them ? on March 9th, 2011 they opened for Zakk Wylde's Black Label Society in Warsaw. After over three years of gathering experience at numerous live shows and sharpening their material, J.D. Overdrive were proud to release their debut album. The album entitled "Sex, Whiskey & Southern Blood" was released by Metal Mind Productions in June 2011. This year and the following brought more live performances and the band supported such acts as Blood Ceremony, Whitesnake and Soulfly. Now, in 2013 they are ready to return with their new album! The mixing and mastering duties for the album was held by Piotr Gruenpeter who's best known for his work with the post-black phenomenon THAW, as well as from bands Searching For Calm and Sun For Miles. Wojtek ?Suseł? Kałuża, the band?s vocalist comments: ?First results are simply amazing and we can't wait to show you the final album. It's gonna be heavy, raw and crushing!?

Wojtek ?Suseł? Kałuża ? vocal
