DRIVIN

About Me

Kamloops B.C., Canada– October 16th marks the street date for the new 6-song EP from the metal punishers in Drivin, a band whose embrace of groove-boned thrash and death metal vengeance has earned them die-hard fans as well as the right to claim demi-god status in a vicious, dog-eat-dog heavy metal universe. Drivin’s songs boast a diversity of metal sensibilities. Rhythmic awareness gets heads lashing in a live setting (and in your car when you’re by yourself, blasting the volume high). Sickened guitar solos mix with grim melodies, summoning death metal’s spirit, yet without mindless, chaotic bombast. A touch of complexity in a nod toward metalcore mingled with a sense of streamlined thrust make Drivin’s songs beasts that swell and explore yet which move inexorably toward their destination. There’s also a raw, muscular grinding anger that recalls the rage of metallic hardcore. There’s plenty of meat to chew on. (And then there are the withering vocals – that transcend all the band’s influences – and those vox chew on you and spit you out!)Always there is the drive to do something original, something powerful, something smart – and something visceral. “Drivin is a highly motivated band that stands for a sense of musical integrity, talent and the desire to create new and unique music,” explains one band member. And Drivin is driven by the insatiable urge to “create new music for people to enjoy – and be inspired by. ”The band has been busy taking the stage and slaying audiences, and a multi-city tour is in the works as Drivin expands its horizons, pushing outward the borders of its metal kingdom. More songwriting is also under way, with five new songs completed that aren’t on the imminent EP – and many more tunes in the works, “ We have a really rigid practise schedule and you can expect a new level of madness with our new songs”. Drivin is also in the process of building its own studio in the “very near future.” “We are totally dedicated to music and our band and want to share it with everyone; . Our life is music!“ Drivin is currently working with A&R Select, the premier A&R firm based out of Los Angeles, CA. Press packages are available upon request.Philosophy of the Bottle
