About Me
DDRIVE Hailing from North America this hard rock quintet released its first self titled CD in early 2005. It received critical acclaim as well as airplay in the US, Australia, and Europe for having strong classic rock roots with a modern edge sound all its own. The groups main writers Phil Naro (Talas, Peter Criss & 24K) and Don Mancuso (The Lou Gramm Band ,Black Sheep, Cheater, and Celtic Fire) and Andy Knoll (The Lou Gramm Band) decided to team up for the DDRIVE album and recruited the production expertise of Canadian monster Steve Major to round out the direction and production. The DDRIVE cd did so well that it was decided to put together the forthcoming release from DDRIVE titled ..Straight Up The Middle... Built on the strengths of the first cd ..Straight Up The Middle.. is a more focused and mature effort and is right in line with infectious grooves, emotion and the good and bad realities of the world today. The band playing in support of the new release is Phil Naro (Vocals/Guitar), Don Mancuso (Guitar/Vocals), Andy Knoll (Keyboards, Guitars, sequencing & samples/ Vocals), Bobby Bond (Drums) & John Taylor (Bass/Vocals). Other musicians who appear on the CD are Joe Lana (Drums), Richard Gramm (Bass/Guitar), Lou Gramm (Backing Vocals) AD Zimmer & Dave Quick(Bass) and Steve Major (Guitar). The Cd is already receiving great reviews and should prove to be another memorable effort!
