About Me

Biography:
After failing miserably as an interpretive dance troupe, Backseat Driver decided to make music. Inspired by the likes of Radiohead, Death Cab For Cutie, Broken Social Scene, and various British Movement groups, the band attempts to constantly expand its musical style incorporating elements of post rock, pop, and electronica. The band is currently compiling material for an ambitious conceptual full-length album, slated for release in early 2008.
