Guest DustyDeviada Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Had an email from Dave about a month ago, said they were putting the final touches on "the most eagerly awaited debut album ever" (his words). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Elvis Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Some new material has surfaced on www.myspace.com/driveblind sounds very good. Putting finishing touches to album and single will be out soon I believe. Can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jester1470 Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Thats the first time I've actually heard them and fuck it they're really, really good. That's certainly the bar for bands in Aberdeen. I cans ee why they're doing so well, good luck to them I say CheersStuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groovy Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 I haven't listened to driveblind in ages! Must go find a CD of theirs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smooth_groover Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 Driveblind !!Man, I remember seeing them in the old Drakes years ago - great band. Good to see them getting somewhere. Good luck to 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen B Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 Wildcards as an influence haha! I don't understand the fuss but i guess it's just not my taste. By the way i didn't just come into this thread to slag them off or anything, it's just the first time that i've heard them and so thats my opinion.

-matthEw- Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 Wow...the first song on their Myspace is really good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stuartmaxwell Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 the song "the fool rides again" is awesomei have it on cd somewhere, the band always had great vocals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Zeenat Aman Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 All good musicians and they do their thing well, whether you like their music is a different matter. They are in the process of achieving what the majority of unsigned bands only dream of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
