It's hard to pin down exactly who
Drive A bases their melodic rock sound on, as elements of '80s sleaze rock (à la
Guns N' Roses) and '90s pop punk (à la
Green Day) are prominently displayed throughout their debut full-length, 2009's
Loss of Desire. And throughout it all, the group keeps an eye on the radio dial -- always making sure to include plenty of bubblegum sweet melodies and choruses that should appeal to the mainstream masses. Co-produced by
Guns N' Roses/
Velvet Revolver drummer
Matt Sorum (along with the band and
Dennis Hill), tracks such as "Loss of Desire," "Everyone's Alone," and "Are You Blind" will sound absolutely dashing played from the Warped Tour stage (which -- surprise, surprise -- the group already toured with, a year before the arrival of
Loss of Desire).
