Sunday Drive Bye

Sunday Drive Bye is an Atlanta rock act that grabs it's audience with a unique brand of high powered guitar driven rock with an emotional vulnerability that's reminiscent of early 90's alternative (Pixies, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr.) and more modern day melodic rock (Foo Fighters, Death Cab for Cutie, Pinback). There is a sincere energy that emanates from what these lads do and it is obvious from the first note that vibrates to your ears, that deliberate care has been taken to craft an elegant yet sometimes ironically self-conscious musical creation. Original, yet never seeing the need to re-invent the wheel, most of Sunday Drive Bye's tunes have a ready accessibility that pricks the listener's ears with a fresh new voice.

In 2005 Sunday Drive Bye recorded and self-released a 6 song EP (Let me Know) that was mainly used for promotional purposes. With this they played all of the usual Atlanta spots such as The Earl, The Star Bar, Lenny's, and The Drunken Unicorn, and began to garner a bit of buzz and a modest following. A few personnel changes later and with the help of Walk to Run Productions, acting with the band as a promotional and management team, they were ready to put the nose to grindstone again and do more than they had previously achieved.

Sunday Drive Bye has just released their first full length album (The Subtle Art of Overkill) and has a video in the final stages of production featuring the first single off the album, Calling Out. With this they plan to reignite interest in the group locally as well as regionally. Already, they have hit a few of the local clubs with great success and have shared the stage with several well known acts such as The Young Antiques, Luigi, Bishop Don, Dust Rabbit, The Indicators among others.

All in all, Sunday Drive Bye just wants to be seen and heard. They believe in a time when Rock was fun, guitars were loud and music made you think a little but always made you feel good. Maybe you saw a bit of yourself up there on stage and you left a show feeling like you witnessed something special. Whatever that is, these guys feel like they have it and they want to share it with you.
