“What’s the point of getting older, if you got nothing to show?” (The Drive, Feeling) This was the idea built around the name ‘The Drive’ meaning the passion, discipline, and perseverance needed to accomplish something that would last or make its mark. So when brainstorming possible band names, two brothers from Los Angeles, decided on ‘The Drive’ as a constant reminder of the work they must put in, Danny ( vocals, keys, guitar) and Isaac (drums/keys) formed the band in the basement of their family’s pub, where they worked. They would work on music anytime they were not in school or busing tables. It was at this pub they were given a stage and fell in love with music and performing their own original content. The two brothers continue to perform on stages throughout Los Angeles and all of California sharing their love for what they do. Learning new ways to make their shows the best experience for those watching which can be difficult for only two musicians and multiple instruments. The response from fans is incredible and makes them work harder to reach their goals. With over 20 original tracks on Spotify/Itunes and the release of their first ever E.P. “Training Wheels”, they continue to build their fanbase gaining loyal fans that elevate their growth. Whilst writing and producing their music, they work hard on their videos showing the creative side of their art. Throughout their career the brothers have been blessed with great experiences like headlining for the Mallapallooza festival in Dallas, creating an award winning music video for their song “Faithless” (Olympus Film Festival 2019 & L.A. Film Festival 2019), and working with platinum awarded producers ( Anthony Resta). With sincere gratitude for the support of their family, friends, and fans they continue to grow as musicians with each new song. The Drive is an Alt/pop/rock band with influences that stem from The Killers and U2 to the 1975 and LANY. As well as cinema scores.
Music to The Drive is a passion. It is something that we crave doing all the time. It is a constant thing, always on our mind, that we want to share with the world. It gives us an outlet for our emotions. It gives us purpose and excitement and energy in life.
Our music dream is to make historic changes in music and to be recognized for it.
If we could change the world, we would start by making the music industry the best it could be.
The most memorable song from our childhood is Mr. Brightside by The Killers, but also Dare You To Move by Switchfoot.
Our favorite musical artists or bands are The Killers, LANY, U2, The 1975, and The Neighbourhood.
Our inspirations are everything. We just constantly want to make music.
The message we want to send with our music is always a positive, hopeful undertone as well as energetic and unique.
We both feel that when we see the reactions and energy from the audience we realize that this is the reason why we do what we do.
We see main stream musicians speaking as if they are the voice of authority. We want to improve musicians reality by acknowledging that we are artists and that our voices are magnified through the masses that live a completely different lifestyle.
Drooble is a very helpful tool for underground musicians.
What frustrates us the most right now is not being able to play live shows due to the pandemic.
We support local artists when they are shows as well as invite/notify artist when there are useful tools at their disposal and available slots for live shows.
The qualities they should have is perseverance. There are a lot of "no's" and obstacles to break through that wall.
