The state of the music industry today is a tragic one. With bands focused so much more on their hair, eyeliner, and clothes, over what makes music great; passion, it is no wonder the music industry is in a slump. Luckily there is bands like Drive A bringing back that great Rock N’ Roll feel. Loss Of Desire is the debut album by this band whose members are all under twenty. Age hasn’t slowed them down one bit. Catch this CD May 19th, its one you would never want to miss out on. Drive A’s new CD starts out with the title track. Although the name may give it the impression that is some what of a depressing song; both the music and vocals are upbeat. This CD is full of thriving energy bursting from every chord such as on the song “Are You Blind”. Other electrifying songs like “Wake Up” show of both expert base and drum technique.
This is a band that varies from song to song. Some song can easily remind you of something that classic punk acts could have put out twenty five years ago and at the same time others show the fact that this band is paving the way for more passionate punk rock bands to come. Keep an eye on these kids. I’m expecting to hear there names for a long time.
