Biography:
Margo - Vocals/Keyboard Matt - Guitars Nate - Bass Tim - Drums Apathetic Drive is an unsigned, four-piece, atmospheric rock band originating from Colorado's front range. Dark, anxious, and a bit melancholy at times, the members of Apathetic Drive share an interest in creating sonically potent music. Influenced by bands such as Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine, and The Cure, Apathetic Drive has sought to take the guitar stylings of the shoegaze genre and combine it with a more accessible song-writing structure and sound. With an attitude stemming from a generalized disinterest in life combined with an instinctive need to express something meaningful, the bands approach to music and life is captured in it's paradoxical name. Apathetic Drive is truly driven by apathy. The paradoxical theme consistent with the band's name is deep-seated and can be found in the title of their first recording, Anticlimax. Promotion of this four-song EP, which will be available in December 2006, is the primary goal for Apathetic Drive in the coming year. The band's main objective in 2007 is to launch a successful musical crusade by playing as many venues as possible while still having time to cultivate their sound. A persistent state of flux and a deeprooted friendship have been the only constants in Apathetic Drives short life as a band. Yet, from the bands inception its members Matt, Tim, Nate, and Margo, have sought to find a sound that unifies and brings to life what each individual desires to communicate to an audience. Because the group is made up of four very different people, this task has not always been easy. Yet what sets them apart from many other groups is their willingness to work as a cohesive unit. Each song has been written collectively, with all members having an equal say in the development of every piece. In the end though, Apathetic Drive is just four good friends who love to play music. Brought together by something unexplainable, the members of Apathetic Drive have discovered a way of composing music that feels natural, while at the same time, attempting to push the boundaries of comfort in order to create their sonic and literal trademark. Accentuated by lofty effects and ethereal melodies, the music Apathetic Drive makes is riddled in a dichotomy of serenity and angst. All music and artwork copyrighted by Apathetic Drive.
