Harsh Harsh Harsh - Music

Driver Friendly Formerly Known As Driver F Is A Five-Piece Indie Rock Band From Austin Texas Formed In 2002. Three Years After The Release Of Their Successful Debut Full Length Album Chase The White Whale Driver Friendly Knew Something Had To Change. The Music Industry Was Shifting Their Lives Were Headed In Separate Directions And The Future Of The Band Was In Question. The Band Was At A Crossroads Call It Quits After Nine Years Of Making Music Together Or Do Something Drastic. The Answer Was A Retreat To A Cabin In The Appalachian Mountains A Place Where They Could Create Without Distractions Or Limitations A Place Where They Promised They Wouldn’t Leave Until They Had A New Album Ready To Be Recorded. With The Help Of An Avid Loyal Fanbase Kickstarter And Producer Jim Vollentine They Raised The Funds Necessary To Record And Release Their Newest Album Bury A Dream. The 11 New Songs On The Record Replicate The High-Energy And Soaring Melodic Hooks Of Past Releases But Also Reflect A Bold Evolution In The Band’s Songwriting Capabilities. The Title At First Reading May Appear Ominous Predicting The End Of Something Great. Yet It Merely Hides The Full Lyric “Bury A Dream Watch It Grow " Declaring That Dreams Can Die But Sometimes They Must Pass Away In Order To Grow Into Something Entirely New And Beautiful. In 2012 The Band Released A Music Video For The Song "Messidona" Which Paid Tribute To The Band's Favorite Tom Hanks Films. The Music Video Generated Enough Buzz To Capture A Tweet From Tom. The Act Of Having Their Music Video Tweeted By Tom Hanks Was Said To Be "The Greatest Honor In The History Of Everything." In October 2012 The Band Announced That They Had Been Signed To Hopeless Records. "Ghosts" Was Released As A Single On October 16 2012."Shark Cave" Was Released As A Single On January 15 2013. "Stand So Tall" Was Released As A Single On May 19 2014. "Everything Gold" Was Released As A Single On June 6. Unimagined Bridges Was Available For Streaming On July 8 And Was Released By Hopeless On July 15. The Album Charted In The U.S. At Number 33 On The Billboard Heatseekers Chart. Discography Albums
