M4M: HEY GUYS THANKS FOR SITTING DOWN WITH US TODAY. WE HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS FOR YOU SO FANS
CAN GET TO KNOW YOU A LITTLE BETTER.
DRIVE A: COOL
M4M: NOW YOU ARE A REALLY YOUNG GROUP. HOW OLD ARE ALL OF YOU?
DRIVE A: 17, 15, 20
M4M: WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BE SO YOUNG?
DRIVE A: UM WELL IT IS A LITTLE OVERWHELMING ACTUALLY BUT IT IS A GOOD EXPERIENCE.
M4M: YOU GUYS ARE EXPERIENCING THINGS NOW THAT NORMALLY YOU WOULD NOT EXPERIENCE UNTIL YOU
WERE IN YOUR 20’S. YET YOU ARE EXPERIENCING IT ALL NOW. DO YOU THINK THAT WILL HELP AS A GROUP IN
THE LONG RUN?
DRIVE A: WE DON’T REALLY KNOW BUT I GUESS IT IS JUST KIND OF GETTING A HEAD START ON IT. SO
HOPEFULLY
M4M: SO WE NOTICED YOUR WEBSITE (www.drivearocks.com) AND YOU ACTUALLY ARE GIVING AWAY YOUR
MUSIC FREE. FANS JUST GO AND THEY CAN DOWNLOAD IT. WHY DID YOU DO THAT?
DRIVE A: NO ONE WOULD BUY IT ANYWAYS. (Laughing) HAVE YOU DOWNLOADED IT?
M4M: YEAH WE DEFINITELY TOOK A LOOK AT IT. WE DON’T BELIEVE IN MUSIC PIRACY BUT IF YOU’RE GIVEN THE
CHANCE FOR FREE MUSIC HELL YEAH.
DRIVE A: WHAT DID YOU THINK OF IT?
M4M: YOUR MUSIC IS SICK. IT HAS A SOUND LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR YEARS YOU KNOW.
DRIVE A: THANKS MAN! YOU KNOW SERIOUSLY WE THINK IT WAS SOMETHING WE WANTED TO DO BECAUSE US
AS MUSIC LISTENERS AND AS FANS WE WOULD REALLY LIKE BANDS TO GIVE IT TO US FOR FREE AND
ESPECIALLY BECAUSE WE ARE A NEW BAND. YOU GET TO TRY IT OUT. IT IS LIKE A TEST DRIVE.
M4M: NOW YOUR FIRST SHOW TOGETHER AS FANS WAS GREEN DAY RIGHT?
DRIVE A: NO THERE WERE A FEW BEFORE THAT BUT IT WAS A FEW YEARS AGO AND IT WAS GREEN DAY AND
BLINK 182. IT WAS IN DALLAS.
M4M: YEAH I REMEMBER THAT TOUR BLINK 182 OPENED UP FOR GREEN DAY AND SAVE THE DAY WAS ALSO ON
THAT BILL. SO WAS THAT LIKE THE INFLUENCE ON YOUR MUSIC GROWING UP?
DRIVE A: YEAH YOU KNOW BUT WE ALSO HAVE A LOT OF NEWER BANDS AS INFLUENCE AND AT THE SAME TIME
A LOT OF OLDER BANDS AS WELL LIKE THE BEATLES, LED ZEPPELIN, AND STONE TEMPLE PILOTS.
TERRY: BLINK IS WHAT GOT A LOT OF US TO WANT TO GET INTO MUSIC BUT WE LIKE OTHER BANDS AS WELL.
M4M: SO HOW DOES THAT FEEL GOING FROM A ROCK CONCERT LIKE BLINK 182 AND GREEN DAY TO PLAYING
NEXT TO GROUPS THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE A LOT BIGGER THAN THEM?
DRIVE A: IT IS INSANE SIMPLY INSANE.
M4M: NOW BEING SO YOUNG YOU STEP ON STAGE AND PUT ON SUCH AN ENERGETIC PERFORMANCE. DOES IT
EVER GET TIRING?
DRIVE A: A LITTLE BIT BEFORE BUT IT IS HEALTHY. YOU KEEP GOING AND TRY TO MAKE IT A GOOD SHOW.
M4M: NOW ASHTON YOU SEEM LIKE YOU ARE THE SHY ONE IN THE GROUP. YOU SEEM LIKE THE QUIET ONE
WHO STANDS BACK A LITTLE.
ASHTON: YEAH KIND OF BUT NOT ALWAYS.
M4M: NOW IS THE TOURING A FULL TIME GIG NOW OR WAS ROCK ON THE RANGE SOMETHING THAT JUST CAME
UP?
DRIVE A: THIS WAS JUST ONE DATE BUT WE ARE TRYING TO PUT A TOUR TOGETHER FOR THE SUMMER.
M4M: NOW YOU ARE ALSO ON WARPED TOUR RIGHT?
DRIVE A: YEAH WE ARE ON SOME OF THE WARPED TOUR DATES.
M4M: SO I WAS READING THE MEDIA SECTION OF YOUR WEBSITE AND SOME OF THE THINGS WRITTEN THERE
ARE ASTONISHING. THE PRAISE YOU HAVE BEEN GETTING FROM SOME OF THE GREATS LIKE DAVE NAVARRO,
TOMMY LEE, DAVE KUSHNER, AND THE GREAT DON HENLEY WHO SAID “ I WAS SHOCKED WHEN I HEARD THE
POWER AND PRECISION OF THIS BAND. THESE BOYS ARE ACCOMPLISHED BEYOND THEIR YEARS. I DON’T
THINK THERE WILL BE ANY STOPPING THEM” WHAT IS THAT LIKE TO HEAR YOUR NAME COME OUT THEIR
MOUTHS?
DRIVE A: YEAH YOU KNOW IT IS SIMPLY AMAZING TO US TO HEAR THAT COME OUT THERE MOUTHS.
M4M: SO WILL YOU BE ABLE TO CARRY ON THE SUCCESS EVEN STARTING AT A YOUNG AGE?
DRIVE A: YES ABSOLUTELY. WE DON’T FEEL BEING YOUNG WILL AFFECT US IN THE LONG RUN AT ALL.
M4M: WELL GUYS THANKS FOR LETTING US GET TO KNOW YOU A LITTLE BIT. YOU ROCKED ON STAGE
YESTERDAY AND HOPEFULLY YOU WILL GET TO ROCK ALL SUMMER LONG AND IN TO TE DISTANT FUTURE.
DRIVE A: SWEET MAN. THANKS FOR TALKING WITH US AS WELL. WE APPRECIATE IT.
