Single Alert: Blank Labels "Drive"
Catchy mainstream rock that'll get stuck in your head
Wichita Falls’ busiest original band of 2024 was quite likely Blank Labels, who treated us to banger after banger, including Vague, You4ia, and New Wave, and early in 2025, they dropped what might be their earwormiest, catchy tune of all — Drive.
In typical Blank Labels fashion, it’s a well-crafted alt rock track, radio friendly, and treads ground that has become the Wichita Falls four piece’s signature sound. Bryson Lawrence’s youthful voice can sometimes remind you of Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance). Mike Hardison’s powerful drumming drops to a whisper, then builds back to an explosive crescendo. And it’s supported by the tasteful lead guitar of Angel Perez and dynamic bass of Mackie Divine.
Drive was produced by the guys in the band, engineered by Bart Rose at Fort Worth Sound and mixed by Linus Dotson, and it’s no exaggeration to say the production values are absolutely pro-level. You cannot tell the difference between this indie rock production and a bankrolled major label release.
I’ve gone on long enough. Don’t take my word for it. Stream it. Share it. Follow Blank Labels. And plaster your favorite radio station’s social media with requests for Drive by Blank Labels.
