Aberdeen
in the North-East of Scotland
may seem an unlikely place to
begin the story of the most
exciting band to break out of
Los Angeles this year...but for
Driveblind, fact is truly
stranger than fiction.
Driveblind came from humble
beginnings: a gray, run-down
lane in the backstreets of
Aberdeen nicknamed 'Murder
Alley', thanks to a notorious
history. It was here that
Driveblind had found a small
basement rehearsal space which
they could barely afford. |

Despite it's less
than desirable location, it was prime
real estate for a band that had
previously been restricted to jamming in
lead singer Terry's cramped apartment.
Now they had a space where they could
set up the drums, guitars and organ and
still have enough room for a vocal PA, a
small bar and a number of ashtrays...
The resulting sessions often went on all
night as, under the gaze of their
musical heroes (The Who, The Beatles,
The Band to name a few) who adorned the
rehearsal room walls, Driveblind
evolved. They worked hard on pushing the
songs into a new place which combined
the soulful melodies and harmonies of
their acoustic origins with the excited,
unrestrained sound of a band that likes
to play loud. The empty beer cans piled
up, the ashtrays overflowed, the neighbors
complained.. more, driveblind.com
