Kings favorite Club Drive has released the music video for the track Leaving and they announced a Spring 2017 headline tour which puts them at The Garage in London, followed by Manchester and Birmingham.
As I noted before, Club Drive is an unrestrained, straight forward pop band that has some classic Maroon 5 moments.
Having support from BBC Introducing, the London 4 piece performed on the main stage at Fusion Festival where they played alongside The Vamps and Ella Henderson.
The band is influenced by a wide array of artists. Lead vocalist Aaron Trowbridge notes, “In hindsight our parents actually had great taste in music. Everything from The Police, Phil Collins, Toto, Chicago & Prince to the likes of R’n’B, Garage and Pop-punk through our teenage years.
Stream or buy the EP and let me know what you think.

But it’s the backstory that is unique yet tragic. Co-founders Rodney Connell and Brandon Duhon met after a girl they were both unknowingly dating was killed in a car wreck. Having bonded over the tragedy, they began a musical collaboration and fate to its course.

Electro artist Couros impresses with the track Breath Again. The London based producer has worked with Rihanna and Nicki Minaj’s producer Parker Ighile while mastering and crafting his signature sound.
Couros describes his new EP, “I really wanted a big aggressive sound to combat a lot of polite music that we are (unfortunately) getting used to” and describes his writing process as pretty weird, “I make sure there aren’t many constants or habits, for example I don’t use pre-made drum kits or presets. It makes the first few hours pretty slow and I genuinely feel sorry for all the singers and artists I’ve put through listening to me build a synth sound or go through kick samples.”
The PMR Records artist just released a brand new remix to his Alyss-featured single Never Break.
