Let's Have a Wreck

After seeing three full-page ads in the last issue of AP Magazine, Drive A was practically screaming for me to listen to them.  They're a rock band from Los Angeles, California.  It's been awhile since I've listened to rock music, so I decided to check these guys out.  There are two songs on their Music Facebook page: "The World in Shambles" and "Let's Have a Wreck," and I also found "Revolt" (video above) from their website. 

Honestly, after seeing so many ads for them, I was a little disappointed.  They're not bad, but they didn't WOW! me.  The best song of the three, I thought, was "Revolt".  I first listened to "The World in Shambles" and that was a bit of a let-down because I got bored halfway through the song, but after listening to "Revolt," Drive A redeemed themselves in my head.  The music is good but not amazing.  The raspy, straining vocals work for some bands, but I wasn't feeling it for this one.  When I was listening to the music, the drums fascinated me and I tuned into their sound - there was some head-nodding happening.

Nowadays I wouldn't typically listen to rock music, and I wouldn't start with this band.  But if they were coming to play in Texas, I'd go see them because I imagine these guys to be good live, so I'll keep an open ear.
