ARTIST: Black River Drive
Black River Drive songwriter Sam Browne has been writing music since around 2001 but in 2008, he finally found the people that could take his songs and breathe life into them. Black River Drive was born.
Influenced by bands as diverse as New Order, Massive Attack, Ryan Adams, The Killers, Smashing Pumpkins and REM, Black River Drive has a sound that is both familiar and difficult to pin down.
First song "Everywhere" was recorded at York Street Studios in Sept 2008 with Greg Haver and Clint Murphy (with Chris Grant of DDub on drums).
Stylistically the song moves effortlessly between searing razorblade rock riffs you can sink your teeth into and moments of calm clarity. Oasis-style swagger meets the driving rock of the Killers, coupled with a vocal sound that is entirely their own.
