New Music - Drive Like Carson

Hi! Thanks for visiting Unreality Music! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed for regular updates.

Got a friend request tonight from up and coming Boston rockers Drive Like Carson. See exhibit (a):

Yes, they’re shifty looking. But they do rock, I can assure you. Drive Like Carson have profiles on both MySpace and (my favourite) PureVolume.com. So go on over a listen, and friend them if you like what you hear. Here’s a bit of blurb about the band and the line-up:

Drive Like Carson is very unique in that they have three brothers. Gary Cioffi, the oldest of the three brothers, is a pioneer on the guitar and has a masterful mind for music and sound engineering. Michael Cioffi, the second of the three, is one of the most crisp and well-groomed drummers in Boston. Torre Cioffi, the youngest of the trio, has such a beautiful and unique guitar style, not to mention his imagination when it comes to song writing. Paul Peters, is not in the family, but still plays a big role in Drive Like Carson. He plays a variety of four-string bass and uses his talent to play many different styles. The final piece of the puzzle is frontman Erik Brennan. The youngest member of DLC, Erik has such a great stage pressence and his voice actually sucks you in to the whole sound of DLC.

I listened to two of the tracks on MySpace - Hung Up and Crash. Both are excellent rock tracks, and you can see potential in the musicianship. Michael’s drumming really stands out, backing up the hype above! Listening to some of the rougher material on the PureVolume page, frontman Erik has a tendency to sound a little bit screechy, but this isn’t as apparent on the professional tracks.

It’s early days for these guys, but still they’ve amassed a following of thousands on MySpace. I suggest you check them out and give them some love (that’s friend requests, not groupie love BTW).
