Zac Schulze Gang Return with Explosive New Single “Hellhounds On My Trail”

​ 
Fresh off the success of their acclaimed debut album Straight To It, the Zac Schulze Gang return with their explosive new single, “Hellhounds On My Trail,” arriving July 24 
 
Recorded live with longtime producer Ian Sadler, "Hellhounds On My Trail" captures the blistering guitars, relentless energy, and undeniable chemistry that have made the Zac Schulze Gang one of Britain's most talked-about rock 'n' roll bands. Fronted by guitarist and vocalist Zac Schulze, whose fearless playing blends punk attitude, blues soul, and classic rock swagger, alongside drummer (and brother) Ben Schulze and bassist Ant Greenwell, the trio delivers a hook-driven, hard-hitting sound that's as explosive on record as it is onstage.

Written by Tony Dowler and the Hellhounds and inspired by the legend of Robert Johnson, “Hellhounds On My Trail” first entered the band’s orbit when they were invited to perform it at the Rory Gallagher Festival in Wijk aan Zee, Netherlands.

“We were first introduced to the song when our friend Petra Burns asked us to perform it at the Rory Gallagher Festival in Holland,” says Zac Schulze. “We’d never rehearsed it before, but from the first time we played it, we knew it had to stay in the set. Every time we perform it, it evolves—we improvise and discover something new. The recorded version is our best attempt to capture that live energy while paying tribute to Tony Dowler, who wrote such a brilliant song. It really sums up where we are as a band right now.”

Hailing from Gillingham, Kent, the Zac Schulze Gang cut their teeth on the UK’s DIY circuit before breaking through with a standout appearance at the Rory Gallagher Tribute Festival in 2022. Since then, they’ve become one of Europe’s hardest-working young bands, playing more than 250 shows a year, appearing at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival, and earning Best Emerging Blues Band honors at the UK Blues Awards in 2024, followed by Young Artist of the Year in 2025.
 
 
The release of “Hellhounds On My Trail” marks another major step forward for the band as they continue to build an international audience. This fall, the Zac Schulze Gang will bring their electrifying live show to North America, joining Samantha Fish and Tab Benoit on tour and introducing U.S. audiences to one of the UK’s most compelling new rock exports.
