Bergen County trio Saturday Drive have been making music together for a while now. Kindergarten friends Alex Bradshaw (guitar / vocals) and Sean Mcilraith (bass / backing vocals) have been at it since 2004. They added drummer Brandon Neuburger in 2005 and haven't looked back. From the beginning, Saturday Drive's goal has been to make "the type of songs they would like to hear on the radio."
Today, the band are sharing their latest EP Gloria Drive right here. The four-song set displays influences of power pop, pop punk, and straight-up rock that combine in an accessible sound that kind of harkens back to the rock radio days of my youth.
I'm thinking there's a theme here with song titles like "I Don't Love Her Anymore," "Leave Me Alone," "Waste of Time," and "Dumb for You." Over the course of those four tracks, Saturday Drive cover a lot of ground from the pop punk of "I Don't Love Her Anymore" to the almost folksy "Leave Me Alone" to the power pop of "Waste of Time" and "Dumb for You."
Recorded by Adrian Melendez and Brian Chirlo at NJ's Mofat Studio, Gloria Drive has the polished and sometimes anthemic sound of lots of the music I remember from the days when rock music was actually played on the radio.
Stream Gloria Drive right here, and look for it on October 14th at whatever is your favorite place for acquiring music.
