I swear to god, the rain smells like your bedroom... A line that gives shivers every time it's uttered. Through playing with them, we have become very close friends with the boys from Drive By Punch.
But, friendships aside, they are a band that never siece to amaze us and any other spectator whenever they play. DBP combines a pop sensibility with a blazing technical prowess unmatched. Tastefully written songs, more hooks than a tackle box, and an honest inkling of heart-broken angst are what make this band stand out amongst the typically generic bands of this continuously growing genre.
Drive By Punch utilize four part vocal harmonies, a relentless stage show, and a full spectrum of highs and lows dynamically. An abundance of energy radiates from the stage as they play, which is completely overwhelming to every sense. Although the personality of each member always shines through, the sound of the band remains focused and deliberate. These boys are creating something that they truly love, and this is remarkably apparent.
This quintet continues to win over new fans on every outing, and with the song writing growing continuously stronger, there is no foreseeable end to the sonic perfection that is Drive By Punch.

Sadly my local hero's played their last show yesterday evening, and are moving on to new chapters in their lives. Thanks for the last 10 years guys, coming out to shows was always a way to catch up with people from our old hometown, drink a few beer and Jagermeisters and enjoy some good old rocking out!

You should post a link to the video.
PS. These guys were my favourite Edmonton quintet of the late 90s.

Never heard of the band, but it sounds like you think they are great. Cool.
