Sugar Red Drive Release Self Titled Debut Album

Posted: 16 Oct 2009 11:56 AM PDT

Sugar Red Drive has released their self-titled debut via Sugarbear Records. Hailing from Poughkeepsie, NY, Sugar Red Drive consists of Archit Tripathi (Vocals), Jim Knauss (Guitars), Davey Alexander (Bass), and P.J. Gasperini (Drums). Influenced by bands like Alice In Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, and Led Zeppelin, Sugar Red Drive bring a strong alternative sound with infectious rock and earnest, sincere songcraft. Album single “One More Time” features churning riffage and snarling lead vocals. Billboard Magazine claims,

“the track has a muscular foundation and a just-right fit of aggression and hooks that set the band up for an impressive start.”
