Armed with a ‘Plan for Conquest’ singer/songwriter Ken Dirschl is taking his brand of earth-flavoured rock’n’roll to the world. Conceived in a Quebec cottage and recorded at home in Toronto in a roof-top “tar-paper shack”, the former front man of maverick Toronto rock group Gasoline has spent the last two years concocting the powerful anthems that occupy the sonic landscape of his first solo album, ‘Plan for Conquest’.

Working with legendary producer Michael Phillip Wojewoda (Barenaked Ladies, Great Big Sea) who provided drums and mixing duties, Dirschl covered the remaining musical bases himself; recording, singing and playing all the parts that make up the whole of this remarkable album. Although various styles abound, country and blues influences are predominant throughout, and have prompted comparisons to artists such as Ryan Adams, Tom Petty and Blue Rodeo.
