The 69 Eyes have released a new single called โDrive,โ which is the first of several new songs that will be released in the coming months while they work on their forthcoming album.
โThe inspiration comes from the same pool of music I have always liked, largely from the โ80s,โ said guitarist Bazie. I never make any plans; I just pick up my guitar and see what happens.
โThis time, we jammed a lot more as a band and all of the guys came up with song ideas.โ โDriveโ began with a simple riff that I had been playing for a long time. It took a long time, but it was well worth the wait. Itโs still exciting, which was the intention.โ
Jyrki 69, the bandโs frontman, adding, โThis music was provided by Bazie, and I was taken away by how new it seemed. It sounded like something youโd hear on rock radio! Our songs are played on the rock channels in Finland on a daily basis, yet they are from fifteen years ago. So, I figured this would be a good time to try something new; letโs take to the airwaves! โDriveโ is a quick rocker in the style of the 69 EYES, with a Sunset Strip twist!โ Hereโs where you may listen to the song:
