DRIFT ~ DRIFTSONGS NOT ON LABEL (Barcode: 884501135177) ~ USA ~ Progressive Rock Recorded: 2009Released: 2009 Debut album by US Prog quartet DriftFind albums by this artist comprising of guitarist Dave ScagsFind albums by this artist, keyboardist Jack BlairFind albums by this artist, who is also the band´s lead singer and principal songwriter, bassist Steve GioFind albums by this artist and drummer Evan JacobsonFind albums by this artist. The band plays a mixture of Prog with a wide range of other influences from Hard Rock to Punk, producing an overall heavy and massive sound, which takes a bit of getting used to but eventually becomes quite appealing. There are plenty of interesting instrumental passages by all participants throughout the album and the music is dynamic and varied enough to keep the listener interested. The lead vocals are somewhat provocative and perhaps a matter of acquired taste, but they fit the overall nature of the music. The whole album has a distinct "retro" feel and if one didn´t know better it could be easily mistaken for an obscure 1970s release. This band definitely has a lot of potential and I eagerly anticipate their next release. In the meantime let´s enjoy this one!
