California Breed is the only studio album by English–American hard rock band California Breed. Produced by Dave Cobb, the album was released in May 2014 through Frontiers Records.[2][3]

Background

[edit]

California Breed was formed in 2013 by Glenn Hughes, Jason Bonham (both having recently been part of Black Country Communion), and Andrew Watt; Hughes and Watt initially began writing together after meeting, with Bonham finalising the trio's lineup shortly after.[4][5] The group recorded its debut album throughout late 2013, an album which was recorded live-to-tape in the studio, and the formation of the band was formally announced the following year.[4][5]
