DORYDRIVE’s new album Here’s To You is addictive!!

April 7, 2014

I have to share a secret with you…. I am addicted to the new album “Here’s To You” by DoryDrive and I mean addicted! DoryDrive is an alternative rock/ pop rock band from Nashville and they have released their full length album earlier this year. It is definitely making an impact. DoryDrive is Mathieu Nevitt on Vocals, Tom LaBrosse on Guitar, Henry Koller on Guitar, Nick Mendini on Bass and Joey Zak on Drums. As soon as you take a first listen, starting with Radiate you can’t help but be captivated by the infectious vocals of Mathieu Nevitt. He almost reminds me of my fave vocalist, Myles Kennedy. It is awesome to hear fresh new music that immediately grabs your attention and then continues on with the next song. Paramour has emotionally driven lyrics that ring through passionate vocals and catchy melodic hooks. This band definitely delivers a complete package and holds nothing back in their delivery. Here’s To You has a sweet seductive intro that builds into a rockin song. It is probably my most favorite song, but honestly every song [Read More]
