“The inspiration comes from the same pool of music I have always liked, largely from the ’80s,” said guitarist Bazie. I never make any plans; I just pick up my guitar and see what happens.
“This time, we jammed a lot more as a band and all of the guys came up with song ideas.” ‘Drive’ 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. It’s still exciting, which was the intention.”
Jyrki 69, the band’s frontman, adding, “This music was provided by Bazie, and I was taken away by how new it seemed. It sounded like something you’d 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; let’s take to the airwaves! ‘Drive’ is a quick rocker in the style of the 69 EYES, with a Sunset Strip twist!” Here’s where you may listen to the song:
