Double Drive
1000 Yard Stare
Review by Gary Hill
With the over abundance of rock bands these days it is good to hear something fresh. Doubledrive's debut album is a diverse rock explosion, aggressive and yet still melodic. The really unique thing about this disc is that vocalist Donnie Ray Humbly is actually a good singer. Most rock albums anymore feature the frontman screaming through the majority of the album, but that is not the case on this disc. Just think of Doubledrive as Static X with melodic vocals.
Donnie Ray Hamby (vocals), Troy McLawhorn (guitars), Josh Sattler (bass), and Mike Froedge (drums) are on tour now and sure to please live. In fact, the band is probably best known for their live performance, which gave them legions of fans early on.
