Sound Drive rocks their CD "Today is Tomorrow"

Feb. 22, 2011 - PRLog -- SOUND DRIVE

Sound Drive is a four-piece epic rock group from New York City that started in the late 1990’s.  Co-founders Eddy Btesh and Vico Sabbagh met in the mid 90’s when playing in different bands in the New York area.  Eddy was in the alternative rock scene while Vico was in the rock/blues scene.  Even though they had their own separate styles, they both had the same core music values and influences such as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, ELO, Cheap Trick and others.  They knew when they met back then,  that they would collaborate one day and it was in 2008, after a 6 year hiatus, that they came together once again.  In Eddy’s home studio, they recorded “Drive” and “All Around the World”.  From there, they continued to write material together and eventually recorded their first full album of original material.  Adding a Latin based duo of Carlos Marin (bass) and Juan Alves (drums) along with Matt Baram (keyboards) created a very unique backbone for the group.  Sound Drive has been re-born.  They started playing the clubs with their new material to positive reviews.

In mid 2010, they debuted their first album called “Today is Tomorrow” with their song “Hello” as their lead single.  It’s a word everyone uses every single day and it’s a positive and easy word to remember.  From the very first chord, you are moving your body.  It’s upbeat, fun to listen to, a truly catchy tune.  You can hear the influences of The Beatles in this tune along with many others songs, creating an extraordinary twist to popular tunes in their day.  Not a bad group to be compared to, I would definitely say.    Sound Drive had developed their own signature sound that encompasses groups their personalities, talent, style and influences.  ‘Know your audience’ is the statement they must live by because they grab a massive audience with music like this right from the start.  Listen to the arrangements of these songs – the intro’s – the harmonies are OUTSTANDING - OUTSTANDING (yes, it needed to be stated twice).   It’s that British seasoning on an American recipe creating tasteful treats for all.

They are absolutely radio friendly, very memorable, very catchy tunes and a ‘must buy’ in my book.  

Sound Drive was asked to play Time Square next month for a radio station that will record the show and air it.  They are also getting noticed just about everywhere (Sonicbids and other digital sights).  It’s like a light bulb that finally comes on after decades of want-to-be’s trying to make the grade.  The Beatles set the standard back then and now Sound Drive has broken that barrier and created a new standard that have awakened audiences worldwide.  Where have you guys been?
