Overdrive is the first album by Charlie Hearnz, recorded during 2017 and 2018, and released in 2020.  It is made up of 10 energetic and dynamic songs, in which an army of guitars is present and complemented by strong drum beats, a solid bass and a powerful voice. Although his musical learning was merely self-taught, the music, lyrics and arrangements of the album were created solely by Caharlie Heanrz, who, in addition to be the founder and guitarist of the project, is also along with his friend Joaquín Fernández, the producer of the album.

The production of this album turned out to be a challenge and learning experience for Charlie, as he was involved in each phase of the process (recording, mixing and mastering) providing direction and ensuring musical quality. Complementing the musician’s lineup, he is accompanied by Mauricio Aguilar (bass), Mike Reséndiz (drums) and Luis Ortega (vocals), as well as Jahvel Johnson in the vocal performance of one of the songs (San Cristobal).

The album was recorded in 2 sessions of four days each between September 2017 and January 2018 by sound engineer Fernando Roldan in “Estudio 19” (Mexico City), later mixed by Fernando Roldan and Carlos Meza also “in Estudio 19” in June 2018, and finally mastered by Jaime Cavazos in “0VU Mastering” (Monterrey, Mexico) and Carlos Meza himself in August 2018. The album was not only recorded on tape like the old school and processed through analog equipment, but also has a handful of passion… and a lot of Rock & Roll!
