I thought this would be apropos follow-up to last night's
Sugarblast post.
Drive. A short-lived trio of Liverpudlians who not merely held their own with UK contemporaries Mega City Four and Wonderstuff, but were seemingly groomed on the finest of American indie-rock (Hüsker Dü, Dinosaur Jr., Moving Targets, etc). I shared a
covers single by them several years ago when this site was in it's infancy, and today I've got an LP (or damn close to one anyway) for you comprised of two eps,
Greasegun and
No Girls. All around solid, deftly honed tunes fleshed out with a veritable bouquet of incisive power chords, squalling solos and poignantly tuneful arrangements. Despite their influences Drive weren't blatantly plagiaristic of anyone, rather they were in the throes of enormously good company. A more
thorough Discography collection by Drive is available if you wish to delve deeper.

Highly recommended folk!!!!!
Nice share friend. Saw these several times, they were great live too. Did a Peel Session - but that's not seen the light of day as far as I can tell. Best wishes.

It looks like the Peel Sessions came out on a CD-R on a Japanese label in 2007. Not sure if it's still available.
