Two consecutive UK Blues Awards wins and a debut album that grabs you by the throat, The Zac Schulze Gang are arriving at their November UK tour with serious momentum behind them. ‘Straight To It,’ released in September 2025, is exactly what the title promises from the Kent-based trio: blues-infused rock and roll that combines classic British R&B with punk energy, outstanding musicianship and the kind of raw, visceral kick that comes from years of relentless live work. Frontman and guitarist Zac Schulze brings precision, speed and passion to every track, riding the thunder generated by his drummer brother Ben Schulze and bassist Ant Greenwell. Together the three create a massive roar without ever losing sight of the song.
The album opens with the breathless hooks of “The Rocker,” sustains that energy through the blitzkrieg rush of “High Roller,” and balances its hard edge with the bright power-pop of “Angeline” and the soaring alt-rock anthem “Betterland.” The Gang’s sound draws on the live dynamic and touring work ethic of 70s icons Rory Gallagher and Dr Feelgood while incorporating elements of AC/DC and Thin Lizzy alongside contemporary influences like Turnstile, Royal Blood and Queens of the Stone Age. Zac Schulze won Emerging Artist of the Year at the UK Blues Awards 2024 and followed it with Young Artist of the Year in 2025, with sold-out shows in the Netherlands, Germany and London’s legendary 100 Club cementing their reputation as one of the most formidable live acts working in British rock right now.
