Infectious as The Killers, cool as Metric, Drive Faster keeps dance-rock slick and savvy. Ready, set, go! Drive Faster began as Supernal, a hard-working, hard-rocking four-piece from Calgary, Alberta. Opening for such acclaimed acts as Angels and Airwaves and Sum41, Supernal shook stages from Vancouver to New York City, receiving airplay on over 300 commercial and college radio stations continent-wide. Reviewers testified, “the energy and vibe they provide to their audience is infectious” (Uncharted Sounds, 2008). After relocating to Toronto, Ontario, Supernal shifted gears to become Drive Faster, a rhythmic reincarnation of Supernal’s fast-lane formula. Drummer Michael Holbrook, guitarist Tony Gare and bassist Jon Marck locked to new-wave grooves while frontwoman Angela Elizabeth traded her electric guitar for a mini-Korg synthesizer. “Their music is just like their personality: friendly and upbeat. They are realistic and ambitious. Top that with talented” (Andréanne Sasseville – Sirius Satellite Radio, BOBBi MAGAZINE). Drive Faster debuted their new sound at Canadian Music Week 2009 to a packed crowd at Holy Joe’s. In February 2009 Drive Faster taped an episode for Aux TV’s Master Tracks where producers Moe Berg (Pursuit of Happiness) and Laurence Currie (Sloan, The Cliks) worked with the band to record their song “Analog” at MetalWorks studio. Berg described the process as a “homerun” and mentioned Drive Faster favourably throughout the program’s promotion. "The Chase EP" is set for release this summer as Drive Faster heads to the fast lane.
