History:
ADRENALIN / DC DRIVE BACK FOR NEW COMPILATION:
Cult 80's AOR group Adrenalin - later known as DC Drive are reforming for a one-off gig and a new Best Of compilation. Here's the band's press release, sent out earlier this week: It is, without question, a landmark Detroit rock 'n' roll reunion. During their 16-year tenure from 1977-1993, the six musicians known first as Adrenalin and then as DC Drive created rugged, muscular, earnest working-man's music that was as much the epitome of Detroit as anything created by forebears such as Mitch Ryder or Bob Seger. That the group's brief moments in the national spotlight - three albums and a minor hit, Road of the Gypsy in the movie Iron Eagle - does not diminish the passion the groups displayed as they slogged through the trenches.
As drummer Brian Pastoria notes, "That's what we initially set out to do - make music. That was the whole goal. We didn't get the breaks like some people, but the music still stands up."
"Drama" and "intrigue" were words used to describe this east side Detroit group as much as the terms "dynamic" and "exciting."
They endured the suicide of their lead...
